The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of the inclusion of biological silage of fish residues (BSFR) in the digestibility of the dry matter (DMD), organic matter (OMD), crude protein (CPD), neutral detergent fiber (NDFD) and energy (ED). During 21 days (14 for adaptation and 7 for collections), 16 sheeps of Morada Nova crossbreed, caudectomized, with 30 kg of life weight were put in metabolism cages, distributed in a completely randomized experimental design, with four treatments (Levels of BSFR in the diets: T1=0 %, T2=5 %, T3=10 % and T4=15 %) and four replications. There were no significative differences (P>0.05) for DMD, OMD, NDFD and ED, with the values 65.5, 86.2, 62.1 and 63.1 %, respectively. Its was observated significative differences (P<0.05) for CPD, which were, 78.0a, 76.9ab, 72.4b and 73.0b, to the treatments T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. In the levels evaluated, BSFR is a product of nutritional quality for use as proteic ingredient in diets for sheeps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective : To describe the knowledge of the professionals involved in the prenatal care to normal risk women (doctor, nurse and dentist) regarding the oral health during pregnancy. Method : An integrational review of literature was conducted. The bibliographic review was carried out using Medline, Lilacs and SciELO for the term February-March 2019. The PICO technique was used to ask the driving question and the Prisma checklist was used to extract and organize the studies. The selection was carried out independently by two authors. The review targeted original articles dealing with the knowledge of those professionals working in the prenatal care regarding the oral health during pregnancy. Results : Twelve articles were obtained from the search, which dealt with different professional categories related to the prenatal care. The categorization allowed the construction of three large thematic areas that fed the analysis of the described knowledge: oral health under an approach including the dentist's accompaniment in the prenatal care; to educate them in oral health and adverse results from the pregnancy; and any perceived weakness and its potential solution(s). Conclusion : This work confirmed some limitations in the knowledge of the prenatal care suppliers regarding the relation between oral health and pregnancy. The foregoing indicates the need to carry out studies, discussions and professional training on this topic in order to strengthen the interdisciplinarity in the prenatal care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It were performed two experiments to evaluate the utilization of industrial enzymes in the evaluation of NDF contents in high-starch materials. In the first experiment, it was verified the accuracy of estimates of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) obtained with the utilization of three industrial enzymes (Termamyl 2X, Liquozyme Supra 2.2.X, and Amylase AG 300L) at different volumes (50, 100, 250 or 500 mL/ sample). Samples were simulated to contain starch at 0, 100, 300, 500 and 1000 g/kg using purified cellulose and starch (n = 240). In the second experiment, samples of corn grain and sorghum grain were evaluated considering the same enzyme types and volumes used in the first experiment adding aliquots without using enzyme (n = 104). There was no significant bias of NDF recovery for simulated samples containing starch up to 300 g/kg. Considering those samples, none difference among enzymes was observed. It was observed a more intense decrease in NDF content according to each enzyme unit added on corn when compared to sorghum. Considering NDF evaluation in samples with mass of 0.7 to 1.0 g, it can be recommended the utilization of 250 mL the ?-amylases Termamyl and 2X Liquozyme 2.2X with activities of 240 and 300 KNU/g, respectively.

The objective of this study was to estimate and evaluate the contents of apparently digestible fractions of crude protein, ether extract and non-fibrous carbohydrates, the digestible fraction of the neutral detergent fiber and the content of total digestible nutrients (TDN) from the chemical composition of feeds in growing cattle fed different diets. Fourteen F1 Red Angus × Nellore young bulls with average age and weight of 12 months and 287±36 kg were used. Animals were fed elephant grass silage, corn silage or signal grass hay, with or without supplementation of 200 g concentrate per kg of the total diet. The experiment consisted of two 13-days periods, in which the concentrate supplementation was crossed over animals. The values of digestible fractions and the TDN content observed were obtained based on total collection of feces. Several sub-models applied to the different digestible fractions were assessed and discussed. Estimates of the TDN content in the diet were produced from the combination of sub-models applied to the individual digestible fractions. The TDN content was more efficiently predicted from the sub-models proposed by Detmann et al. (2010) when biological procedures for the estimation of the undegradable fraction of the protein and the potentially degradable fraction of the neutral detergent fiber were considered.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition and pH silage from different fractions of the aerial part of the cassava plant treated with increasing doses of calcium oxide. We used a completely randomized design with factorial 3 × 3, composed of three types of silages of different fractions of the aerial parts of the plant (1/3 above, 2/3 above and whole plant) and three doses of calcium oxide (0; 0.5 and 1.0%). The dry matter values found for both doses of lime, as for the fraction of aerial parts showed differences (P<0.05). The concentrations of neutral and acid detergent fiber were not influenced by lime doses (P>0.05). The levels of ash and pH showed interaction between dose of lime and fractions from the ensiled aerial part (P<0.05). The silage made from the 1/3 of the aerial parts above presents the best chemical values. Not recommended to apply of calcium oxide during ensilage of aerial parts of cassava plant.

The aim of this research was to evaluate growth and body composition of jundiá farmed at different stocking densities (SD: 4.2, 6.4, 8.6 and 10.8kg m-3) in a water re-use system. During 120 days, 420 fish were fed near to satiation once a day. It was observed that in the highest SD, the individual fish weight was lower, however the biomass per tank increased (P<0.05). The best feed conversion ratio (1.69) and intraperitoneal fat (3.92%) were observed in fish subjected to density of 4.2kg m-3. The body protein was affected by SD. Saturated fatty acids decreased and unsaturated fatty acids increased according to the increase of SD. It was concluded that stocking density influences the final size and yield per volume of jundiá.
