Desempenho de bovinos confinados suplementados com diferentes ionóforos / Performance of beef cattle in feedlot supplemented with different ionophores

Oliveira, Marcos Garcia de 07 December 2004 (has links)
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo a avaliação do desempenho de 36 bovinos castrados Nelore confinados durante 100 dias de experimentação. Os tratamentos foram: controle (sem ionóforo), 44 mg de lasalocida/kg de (MS) matéria seca de concentrado e 44 mg de monensina/kg de MS de concentrado. Como fonte de volumoso, foi utilizado feno de Coast-Cross (Cynodon dactylon) na proporção de 30% da MS da dieta total. Não houve efeito da suplementação de monensina e lasalocida sobre as concentrações sangüíneas de glicose e uréia. Após 35 dias de experimento, foi observada redução da ingestão de matéria seca dos animais submetidos ao tratamento com monensina, sendo -6,3% e -5,9% em relação aos animais do grupo controle e aos do tratamento com lasalocida, respectivamente (P<0,05). No que se refere ao demais parâmetros de desempenho, não foram observadas diferenças significativas no ganho médio diário (havendo apenas tendência, onde P<0,1668), eficiência alimentar, rendimento de carcaça, área de olho de lombo e espessura de gordura subcutânea no decorrer do experimento / The present study was conducted to estimate performance of 36 castrated Nelore steers, in feedlot during 100 days of experiment. Treatments were: control (no ionophore), 44 mg of lasalocid/kg of concentrate in dry matter (DM) and 44 mg of monensin/kg of concentrate in DM. As forage, it was used Coast-Cross (Cynodon dactylon) hay, in 30% of total ration. There was not effect of monensin and lasalocid supplementation in blood glucose and urea concentrations. After 35 days of experiment, the dry matter intake decreased in monensin group, with -6,5% and -5,9%, for control and lasalocid groups (P<0,05). For other performance parameters, there were not significant diferences in daily gain (only tendence, with P<0,1668), feed efficiency, carcass dressing percentage, rib eye area and subcutaneous fat thickness through the experiment

Utilização de antibiótico probiótico, prebiótico, simbiótico e gluconato de sódio sobre o desempenho e características de carcaça de suínos /

Barbosa, Luís Carlos Garibaldi Simon. January 2007 (has links)
Orientador: Otto Mack Junqueira / Banca: Manoel Garcia neto / Banca: Antonio Carlos de Laurentiz / Resumo: O objetivo do trabalho foi o de verificar o efeito de um antibiótico, probiótico, prebiótico, simbiótico e do gluconato de sódio como promotores do crescimento de suínos no período de 28 a 142 dias de idade, envolvendo as fases de creche, crescimento e terminação. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado envolvendo 7 tratamentos: controle- ração basal (controle negativo); ração basal + avilamicina (10ppm); ração basal + probiótico; ração basal + prebiótico; ração basal + simbiótico; ração basal + gluconato de sodio; ração basal + probiótico e gluconato de sódio. Foram utilizados 112 leitões desmamados aos 21 dias de idade, distribuídos em 28 baias suspensas com quatro leitões (duas fêmeas e dois machos castrados) em cada gaiola (unidade experimental) e quatro repetições por tratamento. Aos 71 dias de idade os animais foram transferidos para as baias de crescimento e terminação mantendo os mesmos grupos de animais formados na creche, permanecendo ate o dia de saída para o abate. Quanto às características avaliadas não houve diferença estatística entre os tratamentos, porem, pode-se concluir que no período de 28 a 142 dias de idade, o simbiótico se mostrou mais eficiente, apresentando os melhores resultados de ganho de peso e conversão alimentar. Em seguida, o tratamento com adição do probiótico + gluconato de cálcio, prebiótico e probiótico foram mais eficientes quando comparado ao tratamento controle e ao tratamento com adição de avilamicina. A utilização dos aditivos avaliados, com função de promotor de crescimento, para suínos nas fases de creche, crescimento e terminação, não comprometeu as características de carcaça e de desempenho dos animais. / Abstract: One experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of an antibiotic, probiotic, prebiotic, symbiotic and sodium gluconate as qrowth promoters of swine from 28 to 142 days of age, involving nursery, growing and finishing phases. The experimental design was completely randomized, involving 7 treatments: control basal diet; basal diet + avilamycin(10ppm), basal diet + probiotic, basal diet + prebiotic, basal diet + symbiotic, basal diet + sodium gluconate, basal diet + probiotic and sodium gluconate. One hundred and twelve weaned piglets were used at 21 days of age, distributed in 28 pens with four piglets (two females and two castrated males) in each cage (experimental unit) and 4 replicates of treatment. At 71 days of age, the animals were transferred to the growing and finishing pens keeping the same animal groups formed in nursery, remaining until the slaughter leaving day. The evaluated characteristics did not show statistics difference between the treatments, however, it is concluded that at 28 to 142 days of age, the symbiotic showed more efficient, presenting the best results in weight gain and feed conversion. After that, the probiotic + sodium gluconate addition treatment, prebiotic and probiotic showed best results when compared with the control treatment with avilamycin addition. The evaluated additives used, with growth promoter function, for swine in nursery, growing and finishing phases, did not compromise the characteristics of carcass and performance of the animals. / Mestre

Avaliação da degradação de polietilenos contendo aditivo pró-degradante / Evaluation of the degradation of polyethylene containing prodegradant additive

Dalmolin, Emilene January 2007 (has links)
Filmes de polietileno (PE) contendo aditivo pró-degradante à base de um composto de cobalto foram expostos a intemperismo natural por 12 meses, em Canoas, RS (30º S, 59º W), sob condições de umidade ambiente e saturação de umidade. Procurou-se desenvolver condições de ensaio adequado para a degradação abiótica e biótica, visando monitorar alterações na estrutura da cadeia e propriedades mecânicas. Obtiveram-se valores crescentes de índice de carbonila com o aumento do tempo de exposição ao intemperismo natural, por meio de espectroscopia de infravermelho por transformada de Fourier (FTIR). A massa molar ponderal média decresceu de 170.000 para próximo de 8.000 g mol-1 com 4 – 5 meses de exposição, com fragilização progressiva das amostras e diminuição da resistência mecânica. A degradação biótica dos resíduos de PE originados a partir da degradação abiótica foi realizada em células fechadas, a 58º C. Após 90 dias de ensaio, as amostras de PE tiveram 12 % do seu carbono convertido a CO2, contra 70% obtidos com celulose (padrão positivo). Mesmo com essa diferença elevada em relação ao padrão positivo, a biodegradabilidade desenvolvida pelo PE pode ser considerada muito boa, uma vez que a biodegradação dessa poliolefina sem aditivo promotor de degradaçao é extremamente pequena. Assim, o aditivo pródegradante teve uma eficiência significativa em acelerar a degradação abiótica dos filmes de PE expostos ao intemperismo natural, em condições de umidade ambiente ou saturação de umidade. / Plastic bags of polyethylene (PE) containing cobalt prodegradant additive were exposed to natural weathering for 12 months, in Canoas, RS (30° S, 59º W). An appropriate test methodology for monitoring abiotic and biotic degradation was chosen, with evaluation of changes in the structure of the polymeric chain, mechanical parameters and biodegradation. Increasing results of carbonyl index demonstrated accelerated oxidation of the samples. The molar mass (weight average) decreased from 170.000 to 8.000 g mol-1 after 4 – 5 months of exposure, being followed by fragilization and mechanical resistance decrease. Biotic degradation tests of PE bags residues were performed in closed vessels, at the temperature of 58 ºC. According to the tests, residues of PE films reached a mineralization of 12% after 90 days, compared to 70 % for cellulose. That degree of biodegradation may be considered high, because biodegradation of PE films not containing prodegradant additives is very slow. Thus, the additive was showed efficient to accelerate the abiotic degradation, conferring biodegradability to PE films.

Permanent deformation characteristics of dense-graded mixes using asphalt pavement analyzer

Sandoval-Gil, Jesus A. 16 November 2004 (has links)
The Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) device was used to characterize the impact of various mix factors on the development of permanent deformation in dense-graded mixes given a standard compactive effort. Factors included two aggregate sizes, three VMA levels, two fines contents, three binder contents and four binder types. All specimens received the same compactive effort (100 gyrations) using the Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC). For some tests, testing temperatures followed the standard APA test protocol (64C) and for some others, the test temperature was set at the high temperature of standard performance asphalt binder grade (e.g. 70C for a PG 70-22 asphalt binder). Statistical results showed that increased binder content increased permanent deformation in the 19.0 mm dense graded mixes prepared with the PG 64-22 binder irrespective of the other mix parameters. These effects were not noted in the mixes prepared with PG 70-22 and PG 76-22 binders, when tested at 64C. However, the same effect was noted when mixes prepared with PG 70-22, PG 70-22 Modified and PG 76-22 binders were tested at the high temperature of standard performance asphalt binder grade. All mixes prepared with the stiffer binders showed very low permanent deformation when tested at the standard 64C regardless of the value of the other mix parameters. The statistical analysis of permanent deformation provides evidence that the mixes prepared with the PG 76-22 and PG 70-22 Modified binders perform better than mixes prepared with the PG 70-22 and the PG 64-22 binders. The effect of VMA on permanent deformation depends on the maximum aggregate size used, test temperature, binder type and the fines content. It was not possible to separate these interaction effects. The results of this study suggest that the APA is relatively insensitive to changes in mix properties within the range of variables studied, when using the standard APA test temperature (64C). However, the APA device is sensitive when the test temperature matches the high temperature of the standard performance binder grade (e.g. 70C for a PG 70-22 binder). Based on the results of this study, it appears that the APA can be used to indicate the rut resistance of a mixture. Although some of the mix factors have an interactive effect in the mixes, the APA has a potential to predict the relative rutting of the hot mix asphalt mixes even when polymer modified mixes are used, provided that testing is conducted at the appropriate test temperature. / Graduation date: 2005
