An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance and nutrient metabolizability of broilers fed diets containing fumonisin B1 (FB1) and an esterified glucomannan (EGM). In total, 420 male broilers were distributed according to a 3 x 2 + 1 factorial arrangement, corresponding to three FB1 exposure times (seven, 21, or 35 days), two dietary glucomannan addition levels (0 or 0.1% EGM), and control diet, totaling seven treatments. The following diets were fed: 1) Control diet, 2) pre-starter diet containing FB1, 3) pre-starter diet containing FB1 and 0.1% EGM, 4) starter diet containing FB1, 5) starter diet containing FB1 and 0.1% EGM, 6) grower diet containing FB1, and 7) grower diet containing FB1 and 0.1% EGM. On d 7, broilers fed FB1 presented lower body weight gain and feed intake (p 0.05) compared with control treatment. On d 21, no significant performance differences were detected among treatment groups (p>0.05). At 35 days of exposure to FB1 body weight gain was reduced (p 0.05) compared with broilers fed fumonisin B1 for seven days. From 4 to 7 days and 18 to 21 days of age, FB1 reduced nutrient metabolizability (p 0.05). From 36 to 39 days of age, the EGM allowed maintaining apparent metabolizability for ether extract. It was concluded that the EGM did not reduce FB1 effects on performance or nutrient metabolizability in broilers, except for apparent metabolizability of ether extract.(AU)

Uma cadela da raça Pinscher Miniatura foi medicada pelo proprietário com enrofloxacina, na dose de 50mg/kg, uma vez ao dia, por dois dias (dose diária 10 vezes maior que a prescrita). Ao exame clínico o animal apresentou-se deprimido, em cifose lombar, hipotérmico, com mucosas pálidas, dispnéia, sialorréia, vômitos e anúria, evoluindo para parada respiratória, convulsões e coma. Foi realizado tratamento sintomático. O fluxo urinário retornou ao normal em 12 horas e as convulsões foram controladas, mas o animal permaneceu em coma, morrendo 72 horas após o início do tratamento. A necropsia e o histopatológico confirmaram insuficiência renal e hepática agudas, e choque hipovolêmico, compatível com intoxicação por enrofloxacina.(AU)
A Miniature Pinscher bitch was treated by the owner with enrofloxacin at dose of 50 mg/kg, once a day, for two days (daily dose rate 10 times greater than prescribed). Physical examination showed depression, lumbar cifosis, hipotermia, pale mucosa, dispneia, drewling, vomiting and anuria, followed by respiratory failure, seizures, and coma. Symptomatic treatment was performed, and the urinary flow returned to normal in 12 hours, and seizures were controlled. However, the animal stayed in coma, and died 72 hours after the beginning of the treatment. Acute renal and hepatic failure, and hipovolemic shock, compatible with enrofloxacin intoxication, were observed through necropsia and histopatology.(AU)

The production performance and egg quality of laying hens receiving increasing levels of pearl millet grain in rations were studied. Two hundred 30-week-old LSL Lohmann white hens, allotted in a completely randomized design with five treatments, five replicates with 10 hens, were fed with 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of pearl millet grain in rations as corn substitute. The performance was evaluated by egg production, feed intake, feed conversion in terms of dozen eggs and egg mass, and egg quality measured as egg weight, shell, albumen and yolk porcentages. No differences among treatments were observed for all characteristics, but the yolk color index measured by the Roche fan indicated decreasing in yolk colour as the level of pearl millet increased. Pearl millet did not affect the production performance, and a synthetic or natural pigment should be included in rations.
Avaliaram-se o desempenho produtivo e a qualidade dos ovos de poedeiras comerciais alimentadas com milheto como substituto do milho em rações de postura. Duzentas poedeiras comerciais, da linhagem LSL Lohmann branca, com 30 semanas de idade, receberam rações com níveis crescentes de substituição da energia metabolizável fornecida pelo milho por milheto. As aves foram distribuídas em um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso com cinco tratamentos, cinco repetições e 10 aves por repetição. Foram avaliados a porcentagem de postura, o consumo de ração, a conversão alimentar em termos de dúzias e de massa de ovos, o peso médio de ovos, a porcentagem de casca e de gema, e a porcentagem de clara. Não se observou diferença estatística significativa em todas as características. O índice de coloração de gema, pelo leque colorimétrico Roche, apresentou pior coloração à medida que os níveis de milheto foram crescentes nas rações. Os resultados indicam que o milheto não afetou o desempenho produtivo das aves, devendo-se recomendar o seu uso com pigmentantes sintéticos ou naturais.

Murine hybridomas producing IgG1 monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) against N and S2 proteins (53KDa and 82KDa, respectively) from avian infection bronchitis virus (IBV) strain M41 were generated by the fusion of a myeloma cell line (Sp2/0-Ag14) with spleen cells from Balb/c mice previously immunized with whole virus IBV M41. Post-fusion screening criterion was by ELISA and 36 positive hybrids were generated after fusions. Two hybrids specific to N (N3F10) and S2 (S12B2) proteins from M41 (serotype Massachusetts) were selected by western blotting. These Mabs recognized the Ark-99 (serotype Arkansas) and A5968 (serotype Connecticut) IBV strains in addition to M41. By ELISA, the Mab against the S2 (S12B2) recognized all reference and Brazilian strains (M41, SE-17, H52, 297, 283, PM-1, PM-2, PM-3, 351, 29-78 E 327) studied, while the Mab against N recognized only six (M41, SE-17, H52, 283, 327 e 297) strains. The Mab against S2 may become a useful tool for IBV detection on the routine diagnosis of infectious bronchitis, especially for helping the differential diagnosis of clinically and pathologically confusing diseases, while the Mab against N (N3F10) recognized a probably less conserved region among the strains and may be interesting to comparing IBV isolates.
Foram produzidos anticorpos monoclonais (AcM) da subclasse IgG1 contra as proteínas N (53KDa) e S2 (82KDa) do vírus da bronquite infecciosa das galinhas (VBIG) amostra M41. Os híbridos secretores originaram-se da fusão entre células de mielomas da linhagem Sp2/0-Ag14 e linfócitos B de camundongos Balb/c previamente imunizados com o vírus completo. O primeiro critério de seleção foi por ELISA, no qual 36 híbridos originados de duas fusões reagiram positivamente; destes, foram selecionados dois AcM que reagiram contra as proteínas N (N3D4) e S2 (S12B2) do VBIG da amostra M41 (sorotipo Massachusetts) no western blotting. Os mesmos AcM foram também capazes de reconhecer as estirpes Ark-99 (sorotipo Arkansas) e A5968 (sorotipo Connecticut) do VBIG no western blotting. No ELISA, o AcM contra S2 (S12b2) reconheceu 11 estirpes das 11 estudadas (M41, SE-17, H52, 297, 283, PM-1, PM-2, PM-3, 351, 29-78 E 327), enquanto o AcM contra a proteína N reconheceu apenas seis estirpes (M41, SE-17, H52, 283, 327 e 297). O anticorpo monoclonal contra S2 comportou-se como uma boa ferramenta de diagnóstico do VBIG, independentemente do sorotipo que pode ser aplicado em ensaios de rotina laboratorial, especialmente no diagnóstico das doenças que se confundem com a BIG nas galinhas, enquanto o AcM contra N (N3F10) demonstrou reconhecer uma região menos conservada entre as estirpes de VBIG e pode ser útil em estudos comparativos entre isolados de VBIG.
