The buffaloes production in the Pará state have is a high representative activity to the regional economy and production of meat, milk and dairy products. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new technologies that increase the enjoyment of the production and reproduction of buffaloes in the Amazon region. Thus, the objectives of this research thesis was to characterize the promoter region of the melatonin receptor gene 1 (MTRN1A) and identify polymorphisms in exons I and II of that gene and link them to reproductive traits that have economic importance in buffaloes in the region Amazon. Were collected 400 buffaloes samples and 60 animals were used to characterize the promoter region, 140 to detect the polymorphism (SNPs) in exon II and 77 to detect the polymorphism in exon I. DNA extraction was peformed by phenol method. Then were selected different primers to make Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The promoter region was sequenced MTRN1A a total of 1621 base pairs by the Sanger method, polymorphism in exon II was detected by PCR-RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) with HpaI enzyme and the polymorphism exon I was found by sequencing DNA by Sanger method. Allele and genotype frequencies of all SNPs were evaluated, the inbreeding coefficient (Fis) and the likelihood of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. SNPs in the promoter region and exon I have been associated with reproductive traits of buffaloes by ANOVA or Student's t test and / or chisquare test. The significance level was 0,05. 26 SNPs were detected in the promoter region at positions -1511 (C → T), -1465 (G → T), -1422 (A → G), -1411 (G → A), -1395 (G → T), - 1298 (A → G) -1295 (G → A) -1242 (C → A) -1150 (C → T), -1 147 (G → C) -1136 (A → G) -911 ( G → A), -909 (A → G) -724 (C → G) -656 (A → C) -649 (C → T), -644 (G → A), -511 (A → C) -481 (G → A), -425 (C → T) -395 (G → A), -383 (G → T), -254 (C → T) -206 (T → C) , -133 (T → G) and -94 (C → T) and a deletion unit (ACAA) at position -1483. Of the total detected SNPs, 75% of the wild alleles tiveral frequencies greater than 0,5. For the characteristic interval between calving (IEP), only five SNPs (-1298, -1136, -911, -724 and - 656) were significantly associated (P <0.05) and three SNPs (-1395, -724 and -94) were significantly associated (P <0.05) with the characteristic age at first calving (IPP) and none for the characteristic concentration of deliveries (P> 0.05). A total of 11 SNPs was strongly associated with binding factors in gene regulation. The SNP in exon II by PCR-RFLP (HpaI) at position 306 (T → C), the most frequent allele T in Upland animals (0,529) and C in lowland animals, the two populations showed coefficients Fis inbreeding (0,040 and 0,091, respectively) and strong deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P> 0.05). The mutation occurs at codon 106 and is the sinonímio type without changing the messenger RNA handles structure. The SNP in exon I was detected at position 62 (T → C) and of the non sinonímio, exchanging of Leucine to Proline. The mutant allele was the most frequent C (0,623) inbreeding coefficient Fis = 0.397 and Hardy-Weinberg deviations (P <0.05). None of the genotypes were associated with calving interval and age at first birth (P> 0.05). Therefore, SNPs are strong candidates for selection, but it would be interesting to evaluate them in other herds in the Amazon region and / or in other regions of Brazil and / or other countries to effect them as excellent molecular markers for reproductive traits of buffalo.

Prevalência de patologias no trato genital de machos bubalinos (Bubalus bubalis) nos estados do Pará, Amapá e baixo Amazonas, Brasil

Reproductive disorders are associated with problems acquired (stress, inadequate management and infectious origin), and genetic (high consanguinity exists in some herds in Brazil). While showing the degree of the male potential fertility, the breeding soundness examination and, in particular, the functionality test has been little used, particularly in bull selection, though; these same studies mention the semen importance to evaluate the male reproductive efficiency. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of diseases clinically notable, by palpation and inspection, and to characterize the profile of buffalo sperm created in systems production, intensive and extensive. The study was conducted on properties in the Pará State, in the Municipalities of Belém, Ipixuna, Mojú, Nova Timboteua, Paragominas, Santarém Novo and São Caetano de Odivelas, Muaná, Soure, Chaves and Ponta de Pedras. In Amapá State in the Municipalities of Cutias, Itaubal, Tartarugalzinho and Bailique Archipelago's. The animals were reared in an intensive and extensive, respectively. The period of study was from March 2008 to March 2009. 305 bulls were used Murrah, Mediterranean and mixed with ages ranging from 2 to 15 years, and 160 in the Pará State, and 145 in the Amapá State. Data from andrological clinical examinations, as well as semen analysis were recorded on special forms. Obtaining semen was performed by ampoules massage and the semen physical analysis was by the color, appearance, volume, motility, vigor, concentration, morphologic and pH. The concentration was measured by spectrophotometer on the Center of Animal Biotechnology (CEBRAN). For sperm morphology was used the Cerovsky method. 200 sperm were examined under a light microscope in immersion objective. For statistical analysis, we used the statistical program BioEstat 5.0, descriptive statistics for all variables studied: testicular biometry, disease of the reproductive system and the physical characteristics and morphology of semen, recording the means, standard deviations and frequency distribution for characteristics of andrology classes. Quantitative data concerning the age of bulls, testicular biometry, physical assessments and morphological characteristics of semen were submitted to ANOVA and when significant effects by F test, means were compared by Tukey test at 5% probability. Of the 305 buffalo, the beasts of the Amapá State and the average standard deviation of the scrotal circumference was higher than the Pará State independent of the type of management. Regardless of age and breeding systems found no change in the penis. The bifid scrotum (cleft scrotum), was the most prevalent. The highest frequency of change in epididymis. Tuberculous granulomatous epididymitis was observed in the extensive livestock in the Amapá State, with a tendency for bulls over four years. Among the changes in the testis was the most prevalent testicular torsion and infectious causes highlight the occurrence of chronic active interstitial orchitis, tuberculous granulomatous orchitis, testicular hypoplasia grade I, testicular hypoplasia grade III associated with tuberculous orchitis hypoplasia and grade II (partial). Another observation is quite clear regarding the percentage of spermatozoa with major and minor defects which have very high standards recommended by the CBRA. In this study we can conclude that breeders bred extensively present genetic diseases and infectious diseases are very prevalent.
