Simple Summary: Annually, various corn hybrids are introduced to the market for cultivation. Companies engaged in developing these technologies aim to enhance genetic traits, with a focus on creating productive hybrids capable of addressing the challenges of agriculture. The global corn market predominantly concerns livestock feed production, particularly for poultry farming, which seeks nutrient-rich raw materials with high digestibility for broilers. Nevertheless, when comparing the diverse transgenic technologies of corn, even when cultivated under the same conditions, significant differences were observed. Surprisingly, in the present study, the most productive corn transgenic technology in the field exhibited increased contamination by mycotoxins and a lower content of some important nutrients for poultry. This outcome highlights the critical need for a comprehensive assessment of the implications of transgenic technologies for nutritional composition and agricultural product safety, especially when intended for animal feed. Consequently, we concluded that the integration of nutritional considerations into the genetic improvement of transgenic corn, along with detailed information about resistance to Fusarium, holds great significance and may yield positive outcomes in the future. This approach ensures the production of nutritionally balanced, mycotoxin-safe, and economically viable livestock feed. Corn is one of the most produced cereals in the world and plays a major role in poultry nutrition. As there is limited scientific information regarding the impact of transgenic technology on the quality and nutrient composition of the grains, this study investigated the effect of three major transgenic corn varieties—VT PRO3®, PowerCore® ULTRA, and Agrisure® Viptera 3—on the field traits, nutrient composition, and mycotoxin contamination of corn grains cultivated in southern Brazil during three consecutive harvests. VT PRO3®, while demonstrating superior crop yield, showed susceptibility to mycotoxins, particularly fumonisins. In contrast, PowerCore® ULTRA, with the lowest yield, consistently exhibited lower levels of fumonisins. VT PRO3® had higher AMEn than the other varieties, while PowerCore® ULTRA had the highest total and digestible amino acid contents over the three years. The study's comprehensive analysis reveals the distinct impact of transgenic corn technologies on both productivity and nutritional levels. Balancing the crops yield, mycotoxin resistance, and nutritional content of corn is crucial to meet the demands of the poultry feed industry. Such insights are essential for decision-making, ensuring sustainability and efficiency in agricultural production as well as meeting the demands of the poultry industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Strains P17 and P113 were isolated from animals hospitalized in the same clinic, whereas strain P112 was isolated from another veterinary clinic. Although carbapenems are not routinely used in veterinary medicine, reports of infection or colonization by carbapenemase-producing I Enterobacterales i and non-fermenters are increasing in companion animals worldwide.[[1], [3]] In Latin America, KPC-2-producing I Escherichia coli i ST648 and I Klebsiella pneumoniae i ST11 have been recently reported in dogs with urinary tract infections in Brazil.[5],[6] In this study, we report the emergence of the human-associated NDM-1-producing I Enterobacter hormaechei i clone ST136 as a pathogen of pets.

The present work is a study about the produced garbage in Escola Estadual de Educação Básica Professor Willy Roos, in Agudo-RS. It is founded in bibliographic researches about Environmental Education, solid residues and recycling, with these researches is possible to form ideas and thoughts about the biggest environmental problems that increase and that are in an inadequate garbage disposal. The schools attends around 840 pupils, distributed in the morning, afternoon and evening turns, therefore there is a big and accented daily garbage production. There are produced many kinds of garbage like plastics, papers, aluminum and organic garbage in the school, and in the research all this garbage was destined to a garbage collect or common garbage, and with the implantation of recycling the entire material produced, the final destination of it was done in a right form. The recycling material was separated, labeled and kept in a deposit and after sold in a recycling factory and the money of the material was given to the directive group of the school. So, the referred work was responsable by the implantation of environmental actions that focus the produced garbage in the school giving to the produced residues of this garbage a right and adequate end. This study served as an example to those people who think globally and act for this mentioned cause, and it instigated these people who also adhered the idea of this research, and they recycled garbage in their houses and after they sent the discarded material to the school and then it was given a right end to it.

B Background: b Emergence of acquired carbapenemases and their worldwide dissemination are a major global threat to antibiotic era and represent a major clinical challenge in both human and veterinary contexts. Carbapenems are broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotics employed for treatment of serious infections, usually considered as the last-line available therapy against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections like those caused by extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) pathogens.
