The maintenance of wild animals in captivity can be a source for transmission of infectious and zoonotic diseases. In February 2016, blue-fronted amazon parrots that were kept at the Centro de Reabilitação de Animais Silvestres (CRAS) of Campo Grande - MS died suddenly. The specimens were sent to the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia (FAMEZ) to be necropsied. Anatomopathological exams were performed and organ fragments from all systems were collected for histopathological exams. Liver and spleen fragments were also collected for bacteriological exams. Histopathological exam revealed bacterial aggregates distributed through the organs. Bacteriological exam isolated Salmonella spp. from the fragments of liver and spleen. The confirmation of the genus was made by serum agglutination on slide and by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The genetic sequencing identified the sample as Salmonella Typhimurium.

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de diferentes níveis de inclusão do resíduo da extração de própolis marrom na dieta de ruminantes, por meio de medidas de digestibilidade e produção de gás. Foram avaliados cinco níveis de inclusão da própolis marrom sobre a digestibilidade in vitro dos nutrientes, sob incubação de 72 horas (sem e com pepsina, consideradas digestão ruminal e total, respectivamente), e produção de gás in vitro. Como substrato foi utilizado feno de capim Tifton (Cynodon) e concentrado à base de farelo de soja e milho moído, com relação volumoso concentrado de 50:50, com base na matéria seca. Dois inóculos ruminais (oriundos de bovinos e ovinos) foram utilizados. Os tratamentos foram distribuídos em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com inclusão de 4 níveis de resíduo da extração de própolis marrom (5, 10, 15 e 20 g de resíduo/kg MS). O resíduo da extração de própolis apresentou efeito sobre a digestibilidade ruminal in vitro da matéria seca e fibra em detergente neutro, e a digestibilidade total in vitro também apresentou diferença significativa para digestibilidade da matéria seca, proteína bruta, fibra em detergente neutro, fibra em detergente ácido. O melhor nível de inclusão para digestibilidade total in vitro de 13,88 g de resíduo do extrato de própolis/kg MS. Enquanto que para a produção de gás, o melhor nível de inclusão in vitro do resíduo da extração de própolis para bovinos foi de 8,52 g/kg MS e para ovinos foi 5,53 g/kg MS. The objective of this work was to assess the effect of the different inclusion levels of residue from extraction of propolis in the ruminant diet, using the digestibility and gas production measures. Were evaluated five inclusion levels of brown propolis about the in vitro nutrient digestibility with 72 hours of the incubation (with and without pepsin, considered ruminal and total rumination, respectively), and in vitro gas production. Tifton hay (Cynodon) was utilized as substrate and the concentrate was made from the soybean meal and corn, with relation roughage:concentrate around 50:50, based on dry matter. Two ruminal inoculums (from cattle and sheep) were utilized. The treatments were distributed in completely randomized design, with inclusion of the four levels of residue from extraction of propolis (5,10,15 and 20 g/kg DM). The inclusion of residue from extraction of propolis had effect on in vitro ruminal digestibility for dry matter and neutral detergent fiber, and total digestibility in vitro had significative diference for dry matter digestibility, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber. The best level of inclusion for total digestibility in vitro is 13.88 g of residue from extraction of propolis/kg DM. While for gas production, the best level in vitro of residue from extraction of propolis for cattle was 8.52 g/kg DM and for sheep was 5.53 g/kg DM.
