However, crossing these animals with goats that are pure bred for meat production can improve their meat production capabilities. The goal of this study was to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of meat from UDB goats and their hybrids with the Anglo Nubian and Boer breeds. Thirty non-castrated goats, including 10 UDB, 10 ½ Anglo Nubian x ½ UDB and 10 ½ Boer and ½ UDB, with an average age of 150 days and an average initial live weight of 19.05 kg were used. Genotype had no effect on the marbling of the meat, as determined by real-time ultrasound. Cholesterol concentrations in the meat from ½ Anglo Nubian x ½ UDB goats were lower than those in the other genotypes. We also detected a higher percentage of saturated fat and, consequently, a lower percentage of unsaturated fat in the UDB goats. The measurements of shear force, water-holding capacity, weight lost due to cooking and chemical composition of the goat meat were not affected by genotype. The goats that were part Anglo Nubian or Boer had a higher intensity of red colour in the meat, both in the objective evaluation and the subjective evaluation. The meat from the Anglo Nubian x UDB and Boer x UDB genotypes had higher lipid quality than the meat from the UDB goats. Crossing the Anglo Nubian and Boer breeds with UDB goats reduces the percentage of saturated fats and increases unsaturated fat in meat. / Existe um efetivo expressivo de caprinos Sem Raça Definida (SRD) na região Nordeste do Brasil, estes animais são caracterizados pelo baixo potencial em produzir carne de qualidade. No entanto, seu cruzamento com animais de raça pura com de aptidão para corte pode proporcionar melhorias na qualidade da carne. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar as características quantitativas e qualitativas da carne de cabritos SRD e seus cruzamentos com as raças Anglo Nubiano e Boer. Foram utilizados 30 cabritos não castrados, sendo 10 SRD, 10 ½ Anglo Nubiano  ½ SRD e 10 ½ Boer  ½ SRD, com idade média de 150 dias e peso vivo inicial médio de 19,05. A marmorização por ultrassonografia em tempo real e na carcaça não foi influenciada pelo genótipo. A concentração de colesterol da carne dos caprinos ½ Anglo Nubiano x ½ SRD foi menor quando comparadas com os demais genótipos. O maior percentual de ácidos graxos saturados e, consequentemente menor percentual de ácidos graxos insaturados foram detectados na carne de caprinos SRD. Os valores da força de cisalhamento, capacidade de retenção de água, perda de peso por cocção e composição centesimal da carne caprina não sofreram efeito do genótipo. Os caprinos mestiços Anglo Nubiano e Boer apresentaram maior intensidade para a cor vermelha da carne, tanto na avaliação objetiva, quanto na avaliação subjetiva. A carne dos genótipos Anglo Nubiano x SRD e Boer x SRD apresentaram qualidade lipídica superior a dos caprinos SRD. A inclusão das raças Anglo Nubiano e Boer no cruzamento com os caprinos SRD, reduz o percentual de ácidos graxos saturados e aumenta o de ácidos graxos insaturados na carne.

Orientador: Heraldo César Gonçalves / Banca: Roberto de Oliveira Roça / Banca: Mauro Sartori Bueno / Resumo: O presente estudo objetivou avaliar o efeito do grupo racial (GR), peso de abate (PA) e gênero (G) na área de fibra muscular, porcentagem de colágeno e perfil de ácidos graxos da carne de cabritos. Foram utilizados 74 animais dos seguintes GR: Alpino (A), ½ Boer + ½ Alpino (½ BA), ½ Anglo Nubiano + ½ Alpino (½ ANA), ¾ Boer + ¼ Alpino (¾ BA) e Tricross (TC- ¼ Boer + ¼ Alpino + ½ Anglo Nubiano), dos quais um animal de cada tratamento, gênero e grupo racial foi selecionado para avaliação do perfil de ácidos graxos. Os animais iniciaram o experimento aos 28 dias, sendo desmamados aos 60 dias de idade. Um terço dos animais foi abatido ao atingir 25, 30 e 35 kg. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado e o teste de Tukey (P<0,05) foi utilizado para comparação das médias. Não houve diferença para a área de fibra muscular e porcentagem de colágeno para os parâmetros utilizados, indicando similaridade na textura da carne dos animais utilizados. O gênero influenciou os ácidos graxos C14:0, C16:0, C16:1, C20:3n3, C20:5n3 e -3; o GR influenciou os teores de C18:2n6c, C20:0, C24:1 e CLA cis. O PA individualmente não interferiu no perfil de ácidos graxos, porém a interação G x PA influenciou os teores de C18:0, AGPI e a relação AGPI/AGS, sendo que os machos com maior peso apresentaram uma carne nutricionalmente mais desejável / Abstract: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of racial group (RG), slaughter weight (SW) and gender (G) on the muscle fiber area, percentage of collagen and fatty acid profile in kid meat. Seventy four animals of the following racial groups were used: Alpine (A), ½ Boer + ½ Alpine (½ BA), ½ Nubian + ½ Alpine (½ ANA), ¾ Boer + ¼ Alpine (¾ BA) and Tricross (TC- ¼ Boer + ¼ Alpine + ¼ Nubian). One animal from SW, G and RG were selected for evaluation of fatty acid profile. When the experiment started the animals were 28 days old and were weaned at 60 days old. One third of the animals was slaughtered when reaching 25, 30 and 35 kg. The experimental design was totally randomized and the Tukey test (P<0,05) was used to compare the means. There was no difference for muscle fiber area and percentage of collagen among the parameters used, indicating similarity in texture of the meat from the animals used. The gender influenced the fatty acids C14:0, C16:0, C16:1, C20:3n3, C20:5n3 and -3; the RG influenced the levels of C18:2n6c, C20:0, C24:1 and CLA cis. The SW did not affect the fatty acid profile, but the interaction G x SW influenced the levels of C18:0, UFA and the PUFA/SFA ratio. Male and heavier animals produced the best meat in terms of nutrition / Mestre

This thesis deals with the composition of milk fat and the proportion of fatty acids in bovine milk fat. Then we evaluated factors that affect the fatty acids in milk fat - in particular the effect of diet. In results is as well mentioned one of the biological factors - the effect of the breed.

Diploma work was concentrated on the evaluation of two metabolic profiles on the milch cows of Holstein breed on the basic of compilated nutritive rations for individual phases of lactation. The metabolic tests were evaluated in the milch cows in the period of making cow milk, the top of lactation and the second phase of lactation. The balance of nutriments was counted out in the nutritive rations. The haemotological and biochemical parameters, macromineral and urinary profiles were evaluated in the metabolic profiles. The work in the both metabolic profiles evidenced the reduced number of erythrocytes which can be connected with the occurence of anaemia. In the period of the top of lactation it is possible to speculate about an energetical deficit with regard to the low content of triacylglycerols. In the profile tests the presence of ketone bodies substances in urine was found out in the period of making cow milk. This finding connects with the negative energetic balance that occurrs in the course of the first two months after calving. Within of mineral profile an attention should be paid to especially the content of calcium, which was reduced in the both profiles. In comparison with the profiles perfomed in 2011 we find out that reached modifications of the nutrive ration and the increase in the content of main nutriments, which shoved in the milch cows by improvement of metabolic effects. Neverthless in breeding of the milch cows the increased emphasis should be put on the period of making cow milk and the recommendation for prevention from anaemia or other disorders is carrying out of the selective metabolic test.

The aim of the thesis was to capture trends in population of Prestice Black Pied breed. In the literature section there was described formation and regeneration of breed characteristics and typical features of Prestice Black Pied breed, breed performance, the structure of the breeding base and the expected utilization and marketing. In own work there were described changes in the breeding base, which were in western Bohemia and moved to other places in the country. The largest companies that breed Prestice Black Pied breed are the ZD Mladotice and Žihelský statek SpA, located in the Plzeň region and Zemet Ltd. Tečovice, based in Zlin region and Chovservis Inc. Radostov breeding, based in Hradec Kralove region. In 2013 it was bred 348 sows, in 2014 404 sows, 2015 sows and 413 in 2016, 369 sows. Furthermore, the age structure was evaluated in basic herd of sows. The farmers had the most sows in the first and second litter, compared to that of the fifth litter sows had a few breeders. The requirement for longevity therefore not been complied with. The results of performance tests were evaluated reproductive performance of sows of basic herd in collections (the number of all born piglets, the number of live born piglets, the number of surviving piglets and milkiness). The average value of a breeding population did not meet the target. Some companies, however, had excellent results, especially ZD Mladotice and Zemet Ltd. Tečovice. In field tests were evaluated gain, the percentage of lean meat and backfat thickness. Breeding goal was achieved with values backfat thickness and percentage of lean meat. Gilts had lower gain than required by breeding goal. The gain for young boars has been in 2013 and 2016 higher than the required target and breeding in 2014 and 2015 below the required target. There were also evaluated linear track sires in breeding. It was found that, of the 10 extant lines has long represented the biggest line Wiskont and least represented of the Sudet line. The entire work was focused on monitoring results of individual breeders and their comparison with the breeding goal for Prestice Black Pied breed. Furthermore, the evaluation of the quality of semen of boars Prestice Black Pied breed, operating in the artificial insemination center in Kout Na Šumavě. All boars met the minimum parameters.

The aim of this work was to assess the meat performance of hens and bulls of the Galloway breed and their crossbreeds from organic farming and their subsequent comparison with each other. Further comparing the yields of their JUT with the results of another six breeds of cattle that were behaving in a non-organic conventional manner.

National Curriculum Guidelines (DCN) conceive a comprehensive proposal for the formation of a degree in Pedagogy. This theme firm in the Brazilian educational scenario as discussion agenda of the new course curriculum. Among the issues brought to reflection highlights are those who understand teaching as the basis for training in pedagogy courses. Based on the characteristics of the object of research there has been a case study as a qualitative methodological resource. In the data collection used a semi-structured interview with students and graduates of conclusive pedagogy course of FAEC / UECE and documents pertaining to this. The categories are based, in order to understand the contribution of research as teacher training and the development of teaching practice and as a field that produces knowledge itself, supported by the theories of education. Regarding the formative dimension of monographic research in teacher education, it is concluded that a joint is required and a payment structure of the course curriculum. One can think of the stage-research part of the project of institutional course, linking theory and practice continuously, where the task of the input stage has to break disciplinary boundaries in the pedagogy course. Furthermore, it is proposed also that an assessment is made of the first class of graduates of the new curriculum. / O presente estudo analisa o caráter formativo da atividade de pesquisa monográfica do curso de pedagogia da Faculdade de Educação de Crateús – FAEC/UECE. Tendo por base as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN), que concebem uma proposta para a formação do licenciado em Pedagogia, compreende-se por abrangente. Tal temática firma-se no cenário educacional brasileiro como pauta de discussão do novo currículo do curso. Entre as questões trazidas à reflexão destacam-se aquelas que compreendem a docência como base de formação no curso de Pedagogia. Pelas características do objeto da pesquisa observa-se um estudo de caso de natureza qualitativa como recurso metodológico. Na coleta dos dados utilizou-se uma entrevista semi-estruturada, com alunos concludentes e egressos do curso de pedagogia da FAEC/UECE e documentos inerentes a este. As categorias são fundamentadas, no sentido de compreender a pesquisa como aporte da formação e prática docente, como campo que produz conhecimento próprio, alicerçado nas teorias da educação. Quanto à dimensão formativa da pesquisa monográfica na formação docente, conclui-se que é necessária uma articulação e uma integralização da estrutura curricular do curso para sua efetivação. Pode-se pensar no estágio-pesquisa inserido no projeto de curso institucional, articulando teoria e prática de forma contínua, onde a tarefa do estágio tenha aporte para romper com os limites disciplinares no curso de pedagogia. Ademais, propõe-se, ainda, uma avaliação da primeira turma dos egressos do novo currículo.

The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative parameters of boar semen for insemination center Radouňka. There were 74 breeding boars of Czech Large White, Czech Landrace and line L48 monitored at the station. Basic quantitative and qualitative parameters of semen were monitored (volume in ml, sperm concentration in 1mm3. motility in % and the percentage of pathological sperms) which were assessed according to breed, age of boar, influence of season and sperm production. The individual parameters of breeding boar?s semen were monitored from January 2009 to December 2011.

Com a finalidade de estabelecer os valores de referência das características físico-químicas e celulares do leite de bovinos da raça Jersey, criados no Estado de São Paulo, durante o primeiro mês de lactação, bem como avaliar a influência da fase colostral, do número de lactações e do crescimento bacteriano em quartos mamários sadios na composição do leite, examinaram-se 617 amostras de leite, sendo 418 amostras provenientes de quartos mamários sadios e sem crescimento bacteriano e 199 amostras obtidas de quartos mamários sadios com crescimento bacteriano.

Milk samples were collected aseptically before milking and the following parameters were evaluated: pH, electrical conductivity, chlorate, lactose, chlorate/lactose ratio, fat, proteins, total solids, California Mastitis Test (CMT), and somatic cell count. Significant influences was demonstrated during the first month of lactation relative to the physicochemical characteristics, since the pH values were lower during the first three days of lactation and were increased gradually; electrical conductivity was reduced during the first five days of lactation; the levels of chlorate and the chlorate/lactose ratio were reduced; there was an abrupt increase in the levels of lactose during the first two days, after which this increase was gradual; the levels of fat were varied during the first days and were reduced with effect from the 7th day of lactation; the levels of protein and total solids were reduced. The lactation phase also demonstrated significant influence on the frequency of CMT reactions and the somatic cell count. The frequency of the negative CMT reactions was higher during the first 12 months of lactation while the somatic cell count was reduced during the same period. The physicochemical and cellular characteristics of milk were influenced by the number of lactations for the following variables: chlorate was higher in pluriparous cows; lactose was higher in primiparous cows; the chlorate/lactose ratio was higher in pluriparous cows, and protein was elevated in pluriparous cows. It was demonstrated that milk obtained from healthy mammary glands with bacterial growth within the samples influenced the milk composition since the pH values, electrical conductivity, protein, and the somatic cell count were higher in samples from milk bacterial growth, and the frequency of negative California Mastitis Test reactions were lower in samples with bacterial growth. Considering the first 24 hours after partition the following reference values were established for physicochemical and cellular characteristics of milk of Jersey cows raised in the State of São Paulo: pH, between 6.37 ± 0.14 and 6.43 ± 0.23; electrical conductivity, between 5.24 ± 0.61 and 6.00 ± 0.16 mS/cm; chlorates, between 154.10 ± 29.03 and 155.50 ± 56.66 mg/dl; lactose, between 3.14 ± 0.66 and 3.69 ± 0.77 g/dl; chlorates/lactose ratio, between 4.80 ± 3.99 and 5.22 ± 1.84; fat, between 1.35 ± 1.17 and 2.90 ± 2.29 g/dl; protein, between 8.09 ± 2.35 and 10,95 ± 1.24 g/dl; total solids, between 13.01 ± 1.98 and 18.18 ± 3.20 g/dl; and number of somatic cells, between 946.444 ± 1.1198.319 and 1.355.273 ± 1.829.318 cells/ml. The frequency of occurrence of negative CMT reactions was: negative, between 87.8 and 96.30%; half cross, between 0.00 e 4.87%; one cross, 0.00 %; two crosses, 0.00 %; and three crosses, between 3.70 e 7.31%. The following reference values were established between the 2nd and 7th day of lactation: pH, between 6.50 ± 0.15 and 6.61 ± 0.16; electrical conductivity, between 5.12 ± 0.66 and 5.72 ± 0.69 mS/cm; chlorates, between 89.97 ± 24.80 and 114.40 ± 39.28 mg/dl; lactose, between 4.18 ± 0.50 and 4.42 ± 0.57 g/dl; chlorate/lactose ratio, between 2.23 ± 1.78 e 2.94 ± 2.03; fat, between 2.06 ± 1.50 and 3.09 ± 2.19 g/dl; protein, between 4.09 ± 0.35 and 4.83 ± 0.66 g/dl; total solids, between 12.07 ± 1.33 and 12.98 ± 1.93 g/dl; and number of somatic cells, between 555.553 ± 1.265.531 and 874.677 ± 1.443.014 cells/ml. The frequency of the occurrence of CMT reactions was: negative, between 72.34 and 87.20%; half cross, between 2.00 and 6.38%; one cross, between 2.00 and 8.51 %; two crosses, between 2.32 and 8.51%; and three crosses, between 2.12 and 14.00%. The following reference values were established between the 8th and 30th day of lactation: ph, between 6.61 ± 0.12 and 6.71 ± 0.13; electrical conductivity, between 5.14 ± 0.53 and 5.23 ± 0.59 mS/cm; chlorates, between 92.58 ± 29.08 and 96.73 ± 28.86 mg/dl; lactose, between 4.42 ± 0.51 and 4.74 ± 0.41 g/dl; chlorates/lactose ratio, between 2.11 ± 0.96 and 2.20 ± 1.01; fat, between 1.96 ± 0.99 and 2.49 ± 1.27 g/dl; protein, between 3.56 ± 0.29 and 4.02 ± 0.72 g/dl; total solids, between 11.23 ± 1.13 and 11.70 ± 1.27 g/dl; and the number of somatic cells, between 121.632 ± 316.269 e 433.419 ± 1.297.486 cells/ml.

Os animais foram pesados aos 120 e aos 205 dias (desmama), aos 12, 18 e 24 meses, e ao embarque para o abate. Além disso, na desmama, aos 18 e 24 meses, os animais foram avaliados individualmente, sendo atribuídos escores de 1 a 6, com base na conformação frigorífica. Ao abate, foi determinado o rendimento de carcaça, a área de olho de lombo e o grau de acabamento de gordura. A cor, a textura, a espessura da gordura de cobertura e o teor de gordura intramuscular foram determinados em amostras do músculo Longissimus dorsi, retiradas na altura da 12ª costela. O peso aos 120 e aos 205 dias demonstrou a maior habilidade materna das vacas ½ sangue Aberdeen. Após a desmama, os animais Nelore apresentam média de peso inferior aos cruzados até os 18 meses. Aos 24 meses, a diferença de desempenho diminui entre os grupos raciais, mantidos em sistema de criação extensivo. No confinamento, essa diferença entre os grupos volta a se acentuar, demonstrando o maior potencial de ganho de peso dos cruzados. As médias de escore de conformação frigorífica, rendimento, área de olho de lombo e gordura intramuscular não diferiram entre os grupos genéticos. Os animais Nelore apresentaram menor peso ao abate que os cruzados. Os animais ½ sangue apresentaram maior acabamento, maior espessura de gordura, carne mais macia e mais vermelha que os animais Nelore. Os animais ¾ Nelore não diferiram dos outros dois grupos genéticos em relação a esses atributos. O estudo de correlação revelou que os animais com mais gordura de cobertura apresentaram carne mais macia. Esses resultados demonstram o efeito... / The objective was to study the performance and carcass characteristics and meat of cattle from three genetic groups using 57 steers blood ½ Nellore x Angus, 79 Nellore steers ¾ x 21 ¼ Aberdeen Angus and Nelore steers in the same breeding system. The animals were weighed at 120 and 205 days (weaning), 12, 18 and 24 months, and shipment to slaughter. Moreover, at weaning, at 18 and 24 months, the animals were evaluated individually, and assigned scores from 1 to 6, based on carcass conformation. At slaughter, were determined the carcass yield, the rib eye area and degree of fat distribution. The color, texture, thickness, fat thickness and intramuscular fat content were determined in samples of Longissimus dorsi, withdrawn at the 12th rib. The weight at 120 and 205 days showed the greatest ability maternal blood of cows ½ Aberdeen. After weaning, the Nellore have lower average weight to the Crusaders by 18 months. At 24 months, the performance difference decreases between the racial groups, kept in extensive husbandry system. In confinement, the difference between the groups back to grow, demonstrating the greatest potential for weight gain of the crusaders. The mean carcass for slaughter conformation, performance, loin eye area and intramuscular fat did not differ between the genetic groups. The Nellore weighed less at slaughter than the Crusaders. The animals had higher blood ½ finish, higher fat thickness, meat more tender and redder than the Nellore. ¾ Nellore animals did not differ from the other two genetic groups in relation to these attributes. The correlation study showed that animals with more fat cover most tender meat. These results demonstrate the positive effect of the degree of blood in Aberdeen Angus precocity of fat and meat quality. The carcass conformation correlated with slaughter weight at all times evaluated, demonstrating the usefulness... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
