Biometria testicular, caracterização e congelamento de sêmen de macacos-de-cheiro de vida livre (Saimiri vanzolinii, S. cassiquiarensis e S. macrodon) e cativeiro (S. Collinsi) em água de coco em pó (ACP-118®)

Recently, Saimiri sciureus taxon (squirrel monkey) was revised and some subspecies are now classified by some authors as species, for example: Saimiri collinsi, S. cassiquiarensis and S. macrodon. Phenotypically these species are well determined. However, information on reproductive aspects is still quite scarce. The objective of the first phase of this study was to describe and correlate the testis with the seminal quality from captive (S. collinsi) and free-living (S. vanzolinii, S. cassiquiarensis and S. macrodon) squirrel monkeys. Length, width, height, circumference and testicular volume were measured as well as motility, vigour, plasma membrane integrity and morphology, for correlation data. No difference was observed between the right and left testicles within species, neither difference between species concerning to testicular measures. Semen, which was collected by electroejaculation with rectal probe, was constituted by a coagulated fraction, a liquid fraction or both. Seminal quality was similar among species. There is no correlation between testicular volume and seminal volume (of liquid or coagulated fraction) in S. collinsi and S. vanzolinii. The second phase of this work aimed to propose a semen freezing protocol in an extender based in ACP- 118® (powdered coconut water), testing two glycerol concentrations (1.5 and 3%) for captive S. collinsi. The third phase aimed to test a semen cooling protocol without addition of egg yolk (extracellular cryoprotector) followed by freezing with the best glycerol concentration observed in the preceding experiment and apply these protocols, previously tested in captive S. collinsi, in free-living males from S. vanzolinii, S. cassiquiarensis and S. macrodon in field conditions. Semen from S. collinsi could be cooled in ACP-118® without egg yolk. The freezing protocol developed proved to be useful for semen cryopreservation of S. Collinsi, although requiring improved to allow better maintenance of sperm quality after thawing. The procedure proved to be also applicable under field conditions on free-living animals, providing very encouraging results for the formation of genebanks for species vulnerable to extinction as the S. vanzolinii.

The buffalo is an animal that can compete with differentiated products on internal and world markets, which presents own features and great performance when processing by-products and derivatives. Despite this, buffalo agribusiness resents of enhancers animals proved and / or tested to meet a demand that is vital for better genetic pattern. This study aimed to evaluate phenotypic characteristics of production milk and reproduction efficient of buffalo and perform genetic analyzes determining parameters and genetic index aimed at selection of buffalo to prepare a ranking of genetically superior breeding, increasing production chain of buffaloes in the Amazon region. We used 2,459 phenotypic records of Murrah, Mediterranean and half-blood buffaloes of EMBRAPA - CPATU herd from period between 1953 to 2013. The characteristics evaluated were: total milk production (TMP), fat percentage (F), age at first calving (AFC), calving interval (CI) and service period (SP). The descriptive analysis began with the editing of the data worked in the environments of Excel spreadsheet and SAS package. The overall results were: TMP = 1741.00 ± 496.48 kg, F = 7.07 ± 0.86%, AFC = 49.39 ± 7.37 months, CI = 13.16 ± 0.79 months and SP = 91.52 ± 24,22 days. In the analysis of variance for TMP the most significant effects were the birth order and the degree of blood from female, and to F was degree of female blood and AFC was calving season and birth order and CI and SP were station childbirth and the calf sex. The phenotypic correlations between TMP and F was 0.034, between TMP and AFC 0.118, between TMP and CI 0.070, between TMP and SP 0.070, between F and AFC -0.113, between F and CI -0.025, -0.025 between F and SP, among AFC and CI 0.445, 0.445 between AFC and SP and between CI and SP 1.00. Genetic analysis began with the editing of the data discussed in the environments of Excel spreadsheet and the SAS package and genetic analyzes were performed by WOMBAT software. For estimation of genetic parameters we used the animal model with two-trait analysis. The TMP was regressed depending on length of lactation and the regression coefficient was used for correction of lactation in 305 days (PL305). Fixed effects were contemporary group and linear and quadratic effects of birth female age as (co) variable. AFC and SP model was the same as described above with the exclusion of the term of the maternal permanent environmental effect. The heritability estimates for Murrah were: 0.49 for TMP; 0.59 for F; 0.75 for AFC; 0.006 for CI and 0.06 for SP; for the Mediterranean race were 0.31 for TMP; 0.08 for F; 0.78 for AFC; 0.90 for CI and 0.90 for SP. Genetic correlations between TMP and other features in the Murrah were 0.065 TMP and F; TMP and AFC 0.097, -0.450 TMP and CI and 0.079 TMP and SP for the Mediterranean were: -0.267 TMP and F; 0,629 TMP and AFC; 0.559 TMP and CI and 0.624 CI TMP and SP. The ranking of bulls / breeding was based on predictions of probable transmission ability (PTA's), using the SAS package which allows editing a bulls catalog of buffalo species of EMBRAPA Amazônia Oriental in that period. Based on the results the variability of the studied herd is likely to be crafted with the genetic management for both production characteristics as to the reproductive efficiency.
