Therefore, it is very important to know about the chemical-bromatologic changes in the source which was put in a processing for the correct supplementation of the nutritional needs of the species. Also, it allows to find better conditions of processing in the attempt of decreasing degradations and losses of bioavailability of the nutrients in the foods submitted in a thermal treatment. The objective of this study was to characterize the composition of nutrients in the energetic sources which were used in the animal nutrition (corn, wheat meal, broken rice or sorghum), before and after of being submitted to the processing by pelletization and extrusion. There were analyzed the crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), mineral matter (MM), crude energy (CE), crude fiber (CF), fiber in neutral detergent (FND), soluble sugars (SS), starch (ST), amylose (AML), amylopectin (AMP). The gelatinization of the starch there were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Also, the methodology of Weende by equation of the nonnitrogen extract (NNE) and the methodology of Van Soest by equation of the nonfiber carbohydrates (NFC) were compared for fractionation and determination of the digestible carbohydrates. The results showed difference in the determination of carbohydrates (CHO) in both methodologies, with overestimation of the digestible CHO when it is utilized in the methodology of Weende. The extrusion of the energetic sources caused decrease on CP, EE and FND in the wheat meal, with tendency of the same behaviour to the other sources. However, in the analysis of the pelletized sources, no differences were observed, if compared with the crude ones. The micrographs of SEM showed larger areas of gelatinization to extruded sources, especially in the sorghum and broken rice

Black pacu Colossoma macropomum and red pacu Piaractus brachypomus are two endemic fruit and seed-eating Amazon fishes considered to be important seed dispersing agents in flooded forests. Dwindling populations coupled with the omnivorous feeding habits, rapid growth, high meat quality and commercial acceptance of these fishes has led to them becoming prime candidates for aquaculture development. However, high aquafeed prices are the prime limiting factor for the development of pacu culture in the Peruvian Amazon. The main objectives of this dissertation were: 1) to assess the effects of fish size on seed dispersal capacity of black and red Pacu; 2) to compare seed dispersal potential of these two Amazon fishes against two other seed dispersal mechanisms (anemochory and hydrochory); 3) to determine the apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of three local high-carbohydrate feedstuffs (yuca or cassava, plátano or plantain, and pijuayo or peach palm) in black and red Pacu; 4) to examine the feasibility of incorporating cassava, plantain, and peach palm meal in formulated diets for black pacu; and 5) to evaluate and compare black pacu fingerling growth, feed utilization and survival when reared at three water temperatures: 27.5, 30 and 32.5 ºC. In the first study, no significant differences were found for germination rates of seeds ingested among the three different size groups of fish tested. Although germination rates varied, the findings demonstrate both fish species in different ages may play an important role as seed dispersers in the floodplain forests. In a second study, ADC for crude protein, lipid and gross energy from raw and cooked green plantain meal (GPM) and cassava root meal (CRM) were lower compared to values of other common vegetal ingredients like corn and wheat. However, ADC values for raw and cooked peach palm meal (PPM) were, in most cases, higher than those reported for raw or cooked GPM and CRM. In comparison with other traditional feedstuffs, ADC values for PPM are similar to corn and higher than those reported for soybean meal and wheat bran, which suggests this ingredient, has high potential for incorporation in low-cost pacu aquafeed formulations in the Peruvian Amazon. In a third study, weight gain, feed conversion, survival, hematocrit, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, alternative complement activity, and lysozyme were found to be similar among several diets tested; however, protein efficiency ratio (PER) was lower in fish fed the diet containing wheat middlings. Relative to wheat middlings, all feedstuffs tested (cassava, plantain, and peach palm meal) were effective energy sources for juvenile black pacu and can serve as carbohydrate sources in balanced aquafeeds for this species. In a fourth study, black pacu reared at 30 ºC demonstrated significantly higher final body weight, body weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, feeding efficiency, and PER levels than fish reared at either 27.5 or 32.5 ºC (P<0.05). No significant differences (P>0.05) were recorded for feed intake, protein intake, or condition factor. This study suggests that global temperature increase may impair the ability of pacus to efficiently utilize feed and that growth in water temperatures above 30 ºC may become limiting for this species. In summary, growing evidence suggests that over the past two decades black and red pacu populations have significantly declined as a result of human activities and over-exploitation in the Peruvian Amazon, and their substantial role as seed disperers in the flooded forests could result in serious declines of many plant and animal components of the valuable aquatic ecosystem of the Amazon basin. Therefore, aquaculture of black and red pacu in the Peruvian Amazon is an attractive option to satisfy not only the increasing demand for animal protein for human consumption, but also as a viable mitigation measure for wild fish and forestry conservation. Results from this dissertation can serve as a basis for further improvement in culture technology for these two important species.

No primeiro avaliou-se o efeito do tratamento de esterilização (135ºC e 3 bar por 20 min), seguido ou não de extrusão, da farinha de carne e ossos (FCO) sobre a energia metabolizável (EM) e os coeficientes de digestibilidade aparente (CDA) dos nutrientes para cães e gatos e sobre a digestibilidade verdadeira de aminoácidos para galos cecectomizados de dietas contendo esses ingredientes. No segundo ensaio avaliou-se a EM, os nutrientes digestíveis e a qualidade fecal da farinha de vísceras de frango (FVF), farelo de glúten de milho 60% (GM), soja micronizada (SM), farelo de soja (FS) e FCO em gatos. No terceiro ensaio avaliou-se a EM, os nutrientes digestíveis e a qualidade fecal da FVF, FS, SM e GM em cães. No primeiro ensaio verificou-se que a esterilização aumenta o valor nutricional da FCO para cães, gatos e galos, e que o processo de extrusão não altera a digestibilidade dos nutrientes das dietas para cães e galos, mas eleva a digestibilidade da proteína da dieta para gatos. Além disso, os gatos se mostraram mais sensíveis que os cães às diferenças de tratamentos industriais da FCO. No segundo ensaio verificou-se que o GM, FVF e SM são os ingredientes com maiores CDA dos nutrientes e EM pelos gatos. A FCO e FS reduzem a digestibilidade da MS da dieta e aumentaram o volume fecal produzido. No terceiro ensaio verificou-se que GM e SM são os ingredientes com maiores CDA dos nutrientes e EM pelos cães. O FS e FVF apresentam aproveitamento intermediário, entretanto comparáveis entre si, podendo sua inclusão ocasionar aumento da produção de fezes. / This thesis is composed by 3 experiments. The first one aimed to evaluate a stronger manufacturing process system (135ºC, 3 bar, 20 min) of meat and bone meal (MBM) than usual process, followed or not to extrusion process, on metabolizable energy (ME) and apparent digestibility (AD) of nutrients for dogs and cats, and on true digestibility of amino acids for cecectomized roosters of diets contained these ingredients. In the second trial were evaluated the ME, digestible nutrients and fecal quality of poultry by-products meal (PPM), corn gluten meal (CGM), micronized soybean (MS), soybean meal (SM), and MBM for cats. In the third trial were evaluated the ME, digestible nutrients and fecal quality of PPM, CGM, MS, and SM for dogs. In the first experiment was verified that strongest process of MBM increased their nutritional value to dogs, cats and roosters. The association with extrusion process of MBM not changed the digestibility of nutrients for dogs and roosters, however, increased the protein digestibility for cats. Moreover, cats were more sensitive to changes in manufacturing process of MBM than dogs. In the second experiment CGM, PPM, and MS were the ingredients that presented the highest AD of nutrients and ME in cats. MBM and SM decreased the diet digestibility of dry matter and increased the fecal output. In the third experiment CGM and MS were the ingredients that propitiated highest AD of nutrients and ME in dogs. For SM and PPM intermediate and comparable values were observed, but their inclusion may increase fecal output.

Master of Science / Food Science Institute / Elizabeth Boyle / Consumer demand for clean-label and 'all natural' food products has created the need to investigate antimicrobials derived from natural sources. Multifunctional ingredients are food additives that have multiple properties to reduce fat, limit salt, retard oxidation, increase water-holding capacity and inhibit bacterial growth in foods. Multifunctional ingredients that exhibit antimicrobial effects in meat and poultry products can facilitate consumers demand for clean and 'all natural' labels while reducing foodborne illness risk. Previous scientific research has shown that plant essential oils are known to contain active components to prevent oxidation in meat products, but emerging data have shown that these plant-based ingredients also contain antimicrobial properties. Plant essential oils such as basil oil has shown limited Salmonella Enteritidis inhibition in meat model systems and thyme oil has shown Listeria monocytogenes inhibition in low fat beef hotdogs. Intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of meat systems can alter the antimicrobial efficacy of plant essential oils. Although antimicrobial effects were observed with plant essential oils, effective usage levels may be limited to sensory characteristics in certain meat and poultry products. Natural extracts have shown potential antimicrobial properties in meat and poultry applications. Rosemary extract has been shown to suppress the growth of Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, and yeast and molds in fresh sausage. Grapefruit seed extract has shown inhibition against Campylobacter jejuni in poultry skin and meat models and E. coli O157:H7 in moisture enhanced beef homogenate models. The addition green tea extract in ground beef has been shown to reduce D-values while cooking and inhibit outgrowth of C. perfringens spores during extended chilling of cooked ground beef. Grape seed extract has been shown to reduce Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium populations in cooked lean ground beef stored for 9 days at 4°C. Scientific research findings for plant essential oils and extracts confirm that multifunctional ingredients are relevant to meat and poultry products as potential food additives to control undesirable pathogen and spoilage bacteria while meeting consumer demand for natural, clean-label ingredients.

The aim was to assess the level of nutrition of dairy cows with regard to the parameters of milk in the farm economy and appreciation of farming. Nutrition cows was assessed on the basis of rations compiled a profile of the ruminal sample cows. Content of milk constituents were identified from the analysis supplied by dairy and compared with the standard. Evaluation of economics of farming has been carried out both on the total cost and sales business. Cows were fed the same year pooled rate. The basis of each mix was preserved voluminous fodder own production. According to the spreadsheet from the ration nutrient differed slightly, but without significant differences. Content of milk constituents in both years was relatively balanced and meet the standards. In the evaluation of protein content and urea were observed in compound doses deficit protein or energy. When comparing the economics of farming, production of milk in 2009 suffered a loss due to low purchasing prices of milk.
