The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the performance, carcass and meat characteristics of non-castrated cattle with or without monensin (M) and/or probiotic (P) (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to the diet. The animals were divided into individual stalls, being left 145 days in feedlot. The roughage used was corn silage + 1.2% of the weight live of concentrate in natural matter basis. There was no effect of the addition of the addictives supplied isolated or associated over feed intake, weight gain and fed conversion. Feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion averages presented quadratic behavior with the increase of the period feedlot. Although the addition of M or P to the diet resulted in the numeric increase (P>.05) of the intake (4.2%) the average of weight gain reduced (5.8 and 5.3%, respectively), resulting in smaller fed conversion (P>.05). The association of M+P already increased (P>.05) the food intake to the order of 9.5% with concomitant increase (P>.05) of the weight gain (6,4%) when compared to diet control. The animals fed with M+P presented better carcass finish (5.5mm), followed by the control (4.7mm), and smaller values, it was verified in the carcasses of the animals that received M (3.7mm) and P (3.5mm). The addition of monensin and/or probiotic for feedlot steers did not improve the performance, carcass and meat quality.

Desempenho e características de carcaças de cordeiros suplementados com diferentes níveis de resíduo de biodiesel
(2012-12) SOARES, Bruno Cabral; SOUZA, Karla Débora Santana de; LOURENÇO JÚNIOR, José de Brito; SILVA, André Guimarães Maciel e; ÁVILA, Sandra Cristina de; KUSS, Fernando; ANDRADE, Stefano Juliano Tavares de; RAIOL, Laura Cristina Barra; COLODO, Juliana Cristina Nogueira
Diet supplementation with biodiesel residues of confined lambs, utilizing 25 sheep, without definite breed pattern (WDB), male, castrated, with average weight of 20kg was studied. The experimental design was random blocks, with 5 repetitions per treatment and a split plot scheme toward biometrics data. The experiment lasted 70 days. The diets were composed of 34% of roughage and 61% of concentrate, based on corn, soy, mineral and 5% of oil palm kernel or biodiesel residues, in increasing percentages – zero, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. The animals were slaughtered at the end of the experiment for carcass evaluation. Significant effects (P<0.05) of percentage inclusion of residues were observed for the performance and biometrics variables demonstrated in the crescent linear effect of the regression equations, as well as for the hot carcass weight (HCW) – with an average of 14; 15.92; 16.14; 16.42 and 18.02%; and the cold carcass weight (CCW) – with an average of 13.12; 14.78; 15.06; 15.70 and 17.25% for diets, respectively, containing 0, 25, 50, 75, 100% of palm kernel biodiesel residues. The palm kernel biodiesel residue utilization in feeding growing lambs is an alternative to increase the energetic density in their diets.

Discrimination ability of Santa Inês and crossbred Santa Inês × Dorper lamb heavy carcasses by the Brazilian and European classification systems
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-06) LIMA, Alyne Cristina Sodré; SOUSA, Marco Antonio Paula de; ARAÚJO, Jonas Carneiro; NUNES, Manuella Paula de Mesquita; MORAIS, Eziquiel de; ANDRADE, Stefano Juliano Tavares de; DAHER, Luciara Celi Chaves; SILVA, André Guimarães Maciel e
The ability of discriminating carcass characteristics of different fat cover scores of heavy carcasses, according to the European (EUS) and Brazilian (BRS) classification systems, was assessed. Fifty-six lambs, weighing between 26.25 and 46.15 kg, of the Santa Inês and crossbred Santa Inês × Dorper genetic groups were evaluated. The level of adiposity was assessed through color photography of the carcasses after refrigeration according to the EUS and BRS. The carcasses were assigned to four groups by cluster analysis according to 25 variables, namely, cold carcass weight; muscle; bone; fat; and muscle:fat and fat:bone ratios of the carcass and cuts (hindquarter, shoulder, back); kidney, pelvic, and inguinal fat; and subcutaneous fat thickness. Of the four groups obtained by cluster analysis, the scores according to the different classification systems only statistically differed between groups 1 and 4. The BRS had a higher number of variables well correlated with the scores by assessors than the groups classified by the EUS. The BRS was better correlated with tissue composition. However, most variables were better correlated with backfat thickness than the score obtained through the classification systems. Better results were obtained regarding the prediction of carcass fat by the BRS using backfat thickness or cold carcass weight. The Brazilian lamb carcass classification system better predicts tissue composition and is the best method to discriminate intermediate-fat classes when associated with cold carcass weight.

Níveis de fósforo, cobre, cobalto e zinco em bubalinos (Bubalus bubalis) na Ilha de Marajó, Estado do Pará
(2011-03) PINHEIRO, Cleyton Prado; BOMJARDIM, Henrique dos Anjos; ANDRADE, Stefano Juliano Tavares de; FAIAL, Kelson do Carmo Freitas; OLIVEIRA, Carlos Magno Chaves; BARBOSA NETO, José Diomedes
The study comprised 104 adults buffaloes, without distinction of race and sex, reared extensively, without supplementation, in native pastures of low nutritional quality, in the municipalities of Breves, Cachoeira do Arari, Salvaterra and Soure, Marajo Island, Pará. Samples of liver, bone and blood were collected from 26 animals in the municipality of Salvaterra, from 38 animals in the municipality of Soure, from 20 animals in the municipality of Breves and from 20 animals in the municipality of Cachoeira do Arari. Determination of the levels of phosphorus in the blood serum and bone ash, and of the specific gravity of bone, and of cobalt, copper and zinc in liver tissue were performed. The average phosphorus concentrations in blood serum (6.26mg/dl) and bone (10.77%), the percentage of ash (60.87%) and specific gravity (1.59g/ml) of bone were lower than the critical levels established for cattle, characterizing phosphorus deficiency. The average concentrations of copper (5.57ppm) and zinc (27.05ppm) was considered low when compared with reference values, characterizing deficiency for these elements. In the case of cobalt when considering the detectable and undetectable values by the methodology, it was observed that 51.92% of the animals had levels below the reference, indicating the occurrence of cobalt deficiency in these animals. It is emphasized that the deficiencies of copper and zinc were the most severe since all animals studied showed deficient levels of these elements.

Prevalência de anticorpos anti-Toxoplasma gondii em búfalos (Bubalus bubalis) no estado do Pará
(2013-05) SILVA, Jenevaldo Barbosa da; FONSECA, Adivaldo Henrique da; ANDRADE, Stefano Juliano Tavares de; SILVA, André Guimarães Maciel e; OLIVEIRA, Carlos Magno Chaves; BARBOSA NETO, José Diomedes
The aim was to study the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) from State of Pará, Brazil. Three hundred and nineteen buffaloes were randomly selected into seven municipalities of Marajó Island. For comparative purposes, 128 buffaloes of five municipalities in the state of Pará were also evaluated. The seroprevalence of T. gondii was evaluated by Indirect Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (iELISA). The samples diagnosed as positive in iELISA were subjected to Immunofluorescence Antibody Test (IFAT). We evaluated risk factors: location, breed, pregnancy and co-infection with Brucella abortus or Mycobacterium bovis. The frequency of animals positive for T. gondii in iELISA were compared by chi-square (χ2) with 95% confidence. Variables with p <0.2 were subjected to logistic regression analysis; the model was built based on the "odds ratios" test. The prevalence of T. gondii in iELISA was 41,6% (186/447). In IFAT, 86,5% (161/186) had their positivity for T. gondii confirmed. The average prevalence in the municipalities of the Marajó Island and of the mainland was 32% (103/319) and 55% (70/128), respectively. The municipalities with the highest prevalence were Soure (53%) and Salvaterra (49%) in Marajó Island, and Castanhal (55%) and Thailândia (50%) in the Continent. The breed and co-infection with Brucella abortus or Mycobacterium bovis presented no influence on the prevalence of T. gondii. Additionally, pregnant animals were 57% more positive for T. gondii than nonpregnant animals. The presence of antibodies is an indicative of T. gondii in buffaloes in the state of Pará, and these findings represent a risk not only for farm animals, but to public health as a source of infection.

Prevalência e etiologia da mastite bovina na bacia leiteira de Rondon do Pará, estado do Pará
(2011-02) OLIVEIRA, Carlos Magno Chaves; SOUSA, Melina Garcia Saraiva de; SILVA, Natália da Silva e; MENDONÇA, Carla Lopes de; SILVEIRA, José Alcides Sarmento da; OAIGEN, Ricardo Pedroso; ANDRADE, Stefano Juliano Tavares de; BARBOSA NETO, José Diomedes
The prevalence and the etiology of bovine mastitis in the dairy region of the county of Rondon of Pará were investigated. The sensibility and the resistance of the isolated agents to the antimicrobiotics was evaluetad; 237 mixed-bred milk cows were used on nine properties, which were hand milked once a day and kept on Brachiaria brizantha pasture, with supply of mineral salt and water ad libitum. Clinical examination of the mammary gland, the test of the sieve and California Mastitis Test were performed. Of the 935 examined mammary quarters, 6.6% had subclínical mastitis, 1.3% clinical mastitis, and 92.1% were negative. The isolated bacteria in the clinical mastitis were coagulase negative Staphylococcus spp. (25%), Staphylococcus aureus (16.7%), Streptococcus spp. (8,3%), and Corynebacterium spp. (8.3%). In the subclínical mastitis coagulase negative Staphylococcus spp. (32.3%), Staphylococcus aureus (17.7%), Staphylococcus intermedius (1.6%), Streptococcus spp. (4.8%), Corynebacterium spp. (4.8%), and coagulase negative Staphylococcus spp./S.aureus (1.6%) were isolated. There was no microbial growth in 41.7% of the samples with clinical mastitis and in 37.1% with subclínical mastitis. In the antibiogram, 100% of the isolated negative coagulase Staphylococcus spp., S. aureus, S. intermedius, and Streptococcus spp. were sensitive to sulfazotrim. On the other hand, Corynebacterium spp. were 100% resistant to this same antimicrobiotic. Cefalotina, cefoxitina and gentamicina were efficient against the isolated Staphylococcus spp. which represent the greater part of the mastitis agents in this study. Mastitis was diagnosed in all flocks studied, however the number of affected animals was considered low; this probably is due to low milk production of the cows and to permanence of the calf with the mother after milking, what favors emptying the mammary gland. But hygienic sanitary measures and management practices have to be improved.

Surto de encefalomielite equina Leste na Ilha de Marajó, Pará
(2013-04) CAMPOS, Karinny Ferreira; OLIVEIRA, Cairo Henrique Sousa de; REIS, Alessandra dos Santos Belo; YAMASAKI, Elise Miyuki; BRITO, Marilene de Farias; ANDRADE, Stefano Juliano Tavares de; DUARTE, Marcos Dutra; BARBOSA NETO, José Diomedes
Nine cases of equine encephalomyelitis on Marajó Island, state of Pará, Brazil, were studied. The affected horses had difficulty to stand, walked in circles, with marked depression, closed eyelids, tongue paralysis, muscle tremors, bruxism, anorexia and dehydration. Some had their ear and eyelid reflexes diminished, decreased tongue tone and tachycardia; laid down frequently they kept their head on the chest. Often they were seen resting their head on tree trunks or fences. At necropsy, hemorrhages of the meninges and spinal cord, and in some animals also adhesion of the meninges were found. Histologically there was diffuse encephalitis affecting mainly the gray matter, with meningitis and choroiditis. Presence of perivascular cuffs consisting of mononuclear inflammatory cells was observed. From two horses the Eastern equine encephalitis virus was identified by semi-nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (semi-nested RT-PCR).
