Conformação de úbere de caprinos da raça Saanen: parâmetros estéticos ou funcionais? / Udder conformation of Saanen goats: aesthetic or functional parameters?

Diversos fatores predisponentes são descritos para as afecções mamárias ou distúrbios secundários que comprometem a qualidade e produtividade de leite de fêmeas nas diferentes espécies. As características fenotípicas do úbere são consideradas na avaliação econômica de uma fêmea caprina, tanto pelo potencial de produção como pelo registro genealógico dessa fêmea. A limitação de estudos correlacionando essas características com a saúde do úbere gera a dúvida a respeito do significado da conformação do mesmo à saúde e produtividade da glândula mamária. Sendo assim, este estudo teve como objetivo relacionar os parâmetros da conformação do úbere com a celularidade da glândula mamária aferida pelo teste California Mastitis Test (CMT) e contagem de células somáticas (CCS) em 80 cabras da raça Saanen sem alterações no exame clínico da glândula mamária nem no teste de Tamis. Observou-se que a maioria dos parâmetros fenotípicos de úbere não influenciou a CCS, sendo considerados puramente estéticos. A circunferência e profundidade de úbere demonstraram correlação negativa com a celularidade e, por serem características de herdabilidade moderada a alta, podem ser parâmetros considerados para seleção genética de caprinos.(AU)

Several predisposing factors are described for mammary diseases or secondary disorders that compromise the quality and productivity of milk from females in different species. The phenotypic characteristics of the udder are considered in the economic evaluation of a female goat, whether for production potential, or as the genealogical record for these females. The limitation of studies correlating these features with the udder health raises doubt about the meaning of the conformation to the health and productivity of the mammary gland. Therefore, this study aimed to list the parameters of the udder conformation with the cellularity of the mammary gland checked by California Mastitis Test (CMT) and somatic cell count (SCC) in 80 Saanen goats without alterations in the clinical examination of the mammary gland or the Tamis test. It was observed that most of the phenotypic parameters of the udder did not influence the CCS, being considered purely esthetic. The circumference and udder depth showed negative correlation with the cellularity and moderate to high heritability traits can be considered parameters for genetic selection of goats.(AU)

First record of Neosilba (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) on Jatropha curcas L. in Brazil

Neosilba spp. is firstly reported in physic nut fruits (Jatropha curcas), in Rio Largo, State of Alagoas, Brazil. A total of 438 specimens were found on 1,000 fruits between May and July 2010. Five species were recorded in the State of Alagoas: Neosilba zadolicha McAlpine & Steyskal 1982, Neosilba glaberrima (Wiedemann, 1830), Neosilba certa (Walker, 1850), Neosilba pendula (Bezzi) and Neosilba bella Strikis & Prado 2008. This is the first record of J. curcas as host plant of Neosilba in Brazil.

CONTRIBUIÇÃO AO ESTUDO DO CONTROLE DE QUALIDADE NO CAMARÃO SETE BARBAS (Xiphopeneus kroyeri) / CONTRIBUIÇÃO AO ESTUDO DO CONTROLE DE QUALIDADE NO CAMARÃO SETE BARBAS (Xiphopeneus kroyeri)

Little is known about chemical composition, spoilage patterns and microbiology of sea bob shrimp (sete barbas), in Brazil. This shrimp has, actually, an important position among the fish landed in Santos (1,997.777 t during 1971 and 4,402.348 during 1972) due to its great acceptance for consumption "in natura" or processed. The authors tried several compounds and tests to evaluate the quality of the ice preserved shrimp and concluded that: 1) TMA and Indol, in the conditions of the experiment, are not suitable as quality tests for this species; 2) in the experimental conditions, the most available quality tests for sea bob shrimp are TMAO, the Picric Acid Turbidity Test(PAT) and the pH measurement.
