Distúrbios comportamentais em ruminantes não associados a doenças: origem, significado e importância
(2011-09) MALAFAIA, Pedro Antônio Muniz; BARBOSA NETO, José Diomedes; TOKARNIA, Carlos Maria Antônio Hubinger; OLIVEIRA, Carlos Magno Chaves
O estudo científico do comportamento animal frente às distintas modificações do ambiente (inanimado ou não) onde os mesmos estão sendo criados constitui o principal objetivo da etologia. Por outro lado, muitas doenças que acometem os ruminantes também cursam produzindo diversas alterações no comportamento desses animais; portanto, os profissionais que trabalham com ruminantes precisam reconhecer o que vem a ser um comportamento anormal, decorrente do empobrecimento ambiental associado ou não a erros alimentares e que resulta em prejuízos ao bem-estar dos animais (p.ex. confinamentos com superlotação, falta de sombra nas pastagens, volumosos finamente moídos) daqueles oriundos de doenças ou estados carenciais, como por exemplo, a depravação do apetite causada pelas deficiências de sódio, cobalto e de fibra fisicamente efetiva. O propósito dessa revisão é discutir sobre os principais desvios comportamentais verificados nos ruminantes domésticos criados em sistemas intensivos ou não no Brasil.

Elephant grass silage with the addition of crambe bran conjugated to different specific mass
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-12) CARDOSO, Arilson Moraes; ARAÚJO, Saulo Alberto do Carmo; ROCHA, Norberto Silva; DOMINGUES, Felipe Nogueira; AZEVEDO, Jorge Cardoso de; PANTOJA, Lilian de Araujo
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of inclusion of crambe bran concentrations (Crambe abyssinica Hochst.) with different specific masses in elephant grass silage (Penninsetum purpureum Schum.). For that, the bromatological and microbiological compositions of the experimental silages were determined. We used 48 mini silos distributed in a completely randomized design, arranged in a factorial 4 × 3, four levels of inclusion of crambe bran (0; 10; 20 and 30%) and three specific masses (400; 500 and 600 kg MN m-3), with four replications. After 240 days of fermentation the silos were opened. It was observed linear effect on DM, CP, NDFap, ADFap, HEM, LIG, NFC, TC and population of bacteria that produce lactic acid with the addition of crambe meal. There was interaction between the crambe bran factors and specific masses on the values of pH and N-NH3. For MM variables and yeast count there was a negative linear effect due to the evaluated specific mass. The inclusion of crambe bran helps to increase the fermentative profile and the bromatological composition of elephant grass silages studied, and the best results were obtained with the addition of 30% of this coproduct, based on the natural matter.

Variação espaço-temporal do zooplâncton em diferentes ambientes do médio Rio Xingu-PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-02-29) BRITO, Stélio Ângelo da Costa; MELO, Nuno Filipe Alves Correia de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4989238044542736; CAMARGO-ZORRO, Mauricio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5423657235023988
Spatial and temporal variation studies of the zooplankton in the middle Xingu river Brazil, were made for two insular lakes and fluvial environments. The samples were made in a monthly periodicity along one year. The species diversity, the relative and absolute abundance, the biomass, the secudary production and the functional groups were founded. For all the environments studied, one hundred and sixty six species related to three main groups were recorded: one hundred and forty one species of Rotifera; twenty Cladocera species; five species of Copepoda and another group mainly compose of larval stages of insects. In the dry season the Rotifera registered the main density, and during the wet season the low. By the rarefaction curves were detected that the Pimental Lake, and the slow and rapid waters in the main channel show not asymptotic curves for the species diversity. In different sense, the Ilha Grande Lake shows the asymptotic curve for the 12 month with 70 species. For the Boa Esperança and Arroz Cru fluvial environments, the mean total density of zooplankton shows a seasonal variation with the main values for the dry season, especially for the Rotifera group. The dry biomass oscillated between 0,063 a 2,2 g.m-2. In the seasonal variation, the Ilha Grande Lake shows the main biomass variation with range of 0,39 a 1,2 g.m-2 during the wet season and 0,66 g.m-2 during the dry season. A similarity analysis indicated a 35% for all the environments studied in the seasonal variation, with seven similar groups identified. The group G included the Pimental Lake in the wet season as more dissimilar. A SIMPER analysis shows a high mean internal similarity (58%) between the rapid environments during the wet season. The slow river waters with a mean similarity of 48% and, finally lakes with an internal similarity of only 23%. The main dissimilarity was founded for the rapids and lakes environments, during the wet season (70%). A bi-factorial analysis not shows significant differences between the environments studied (ANOSIM r = 0,263; P = 0,2). The Lakes show zooplankton communities statistically different of other environments in the middle Xingu river. The detritivore, filter and omnivore feeding habits predominated in the more abundant forms. In summary, the aquatic environments in the Xingu river, show a pattern of main diversification of Rotifera and Cladocera, which corroborated the founded for another Amazon environments with different types of waters in the Sioli classification. A reduction of the zooplankton viii density related to the wet season, can be associated with the dilution by the waters of the Xingu river, and a perturbation effect in the Lake environments stability.
