Infection control is generally performed with synthetic anthelmintic compounds; however, indiscriminate use of these drugs can stimulate the emergence of resistant nematodes. Thus, alternatives to the use of synthetic anthelmintic compounds have been proposed, such as the inclusion of medicinal plants in animal feed. The objective of this study was evaluate the anthelmintic activity of the leaves of the medicinal plant Psidium cattleianum Sabine (Araca) through its hydroalcoholic extract, and using in vitro assays with the eggs and larvae of gastrointestinal nematodes obtained from naturally infected donor sheep. The extract exhibited good in vitro ovicidal and larvicidal activity, with IC50 values of 0.55 mg mL(-1) for egg hatching inhibition, 0.20 mg mL-1 for larval development inhibition and an efficiency greater than 80% in the inhibition of larval migration at all concentrations evaluated (IC50 < 0.19 mg/mL). Phytochemical analysis detected higher concentrations of saponins, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, anthraquinones and tannins in the extract. Our results demonstrated that the Psidium cattleianum Sabine's leaves exhibit in vitro anthelmintic activity, which suggests that in addition to its other medicinal properties, this plant can help control gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep. Future in vivo assays should be performed to confirm antiparasitic efficacy.

Six adult dogs were distributed in a double latin square desing (3 × 3), with three treatments and three periods, in a total of six replications per treatment. Tukey's test was used to compare the means. The home-made diet presented the highest CAD, not differing only of the CAD of acid ether extract of the super-premium food. The standard food was the lowest digestive, producting more feces. Fecal dry matter of dogs fed home-made diet was lower than in the standard and super-premium foods, which did not differ among then. Fecal score presented low variability among treatments, remaining in the considered ideal range. Home-made diet can be an alternative in the feeding of dogs.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2009-12-01 It was evaluated the effect of nonphytate phosphorus (NNP) and phytase on broiler tibia. One thousand and two hundred chicks were allocated in a completely randomized design and factorial arrangement 4 x 3 (NPP x phytase levels), with four replicates. NPP levels, at each phase, were 0.45, 0.37, 0.29 and 0.21% - initial, 0.41, 0.33, 0.25 and 0.17% - growth, and 0.37, 0.29, 0.21 and 0.13% - withdrawal. Phytase levels were 0, 500 and 1000 FTU/kg of diet. There was no effect on diameter at 21 days of age. Tibia with lower weight, length and diaphysis, distal epiphysis and average densities e proximal epiphysis density resulted from NPP reduction from 0.37 to 0.29% and from 0.29 to 0.21%, respectively. Inclusion of 500 FTU/kg of phytase improved length and diaphysis density of the tibia, independent of NPP levels. Diets with NPP, at initial, growth and final phases, of 0.37, 0.33 and 0.29%, respectively, supplemented with 1000 FTU/kg of phytase, can be used with no negative effect on bone quality in broilers.
