Fauna silvestre recebida pelo Cetras/IEF de Patos de Minas, MG em 2020 / Fauna silvestre recibida por CetrasS/IEF de Patos de Minas, MG, Brazil en 2020 / Wild fauna received by Cetras/IEF Patos de Minas, MG, Brazil, in 2020

Foi realizada análise da documentação de animais silvestres recebidos pelo Cetras/IEF de Patos de Minas, MG, durante o ano de 2020, obtendo-se dados da origem dos animais, dos índices de soltura e óbito, da permanência em cativeiro e de condições clínicas na época do recebimento. No período foram recebidos 1.306 animais, sendo 86,9% de aves. A forma de recebimento mais comum foi apreensão por autoridade competente (36,1%), seguida de entrega voluntária (33,2%) e recolhimento em zona urbana/rural (30,8%). Do total, 44,3% dos animais foram reintroduzidos, 39% vieram a óbito, 10% permaneceram no Cetras até o fim do período analisado e 6,7% foram destinados a outras instituições. Animais feridos e filhotes apresentaram taxa de mortalidade de aproximadamente 50%. Observa-se que a entrega voluntária tem crescido, praticamente equiparando-se às apreensões. A taxa de reintrodução é considerada satisfatória em relação à de instituições semelhantes.(AU)

An analysis of the documentation of wild animals received by Cetras/IEF from Patos de Minas, MG, Brazil, during the year 2020 was carried out, obtaining data on the origin of animals, release and death rates, permanence in captivity and data on clinical conditions at the arrival. During the period, 1,306 animals were received, 86.9% of which were birds. The most common form of admission was apprehension by competent authority (36.1%), followed by voluntary delivery (33.2%) and collection. in urban/rural areas (30.8%). Of the total, 44.3% animals were reintroduced, 39% died, 10% remained at Cetras until the end of the period and 6.7% were destined to other institutions. Injured animals and offspring had a mortality rate of approximately 50%. It is observed that the voluntary delivery has increased and almost equaled the apprehensions. The reintroduction rate is considered satisfactory in relation to similar institutions.(AU)

Protocolos para contenção química e eletroejaculação para coleta de sêmen de queixadas (Tayassu pecari) / Chemical restraining and electroejaculation protocols for semen collection in white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari)

Background: In order to reverse the White-lipped peccary decline, besides protecting its habitat and controlling hunting,it is necessary a captive breeding program. There are reports, however, on the low fertility of white-lipped peccary, makingit difficult its reproduction in captivity, making artificial insemination one of the main tools to prevent the loss of geneticdiversity of species kept in captivity. Information on safe methods of anesthesia and the collection of semen should beinvestigated. Therefore, we aimed to compare the effects of the anesthetic protocols acepromazine/ketamine and xylazine/ketamine, as well as electroejaculation protocols, for semen collection in white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari).Materials, Methods & Results: Twelve adult male white-lipped peccaries were submitted both to the xylazine/ketamineand acepromazine/ketamine anesthetic protocols. The anesthetic induction time and duration, the degree of muscle relaxation, the time for anesthetic recovery and the quality of the animals’ recovery were evaluated. Additionally, the qualityof the sedation was evaluated based on the animal’s behavior. We also evaluated the effect of drugs on erectile functionsas well as the efficiency of 3 electroejaculation protocols with increasing or fixed voltages (2 to 4 V; 5 to 12 V; 12 V). Theacepromazine/ketamine combination promotes shorter induction time, duration and recovery from anesthesia than thexylazine/ketamine association. There were no differences, however, between the tested anesthetic protocols in relation toheart rate, respiratory rate and temperature. Ejaculate was obtained from only 2 animals when using the xylazine/ketamineprotocol and adoption of stimuli between 5 and 12 V, with 10 stimuli at each voltage. In turn, ejaculate was obtained from4 animals submitted to the acepromazine/ketamine protocol, 3 of them with the adoption of stimuli between 5 and 12 V...

Percepção dos moradores sobre os impactos do lixo na saúde pública, Guanambi-BA

The study aimed to understand the perception of the community guanambiense about the impacts of garbage for health. The research had a qualitative exploratory approach, conducted through individual interviews with 25 participants from Guanambi-BA. The data were organized, identified, transcribed and analyzed for further analysis, divided into two categories: Knowledge of the population about garbage collection in the living territory, and the consequences of garbage accumulation for public health. Among the research findings, it was noted that the interviewed population reports doubts about the city's garbage collection process. It is worth noting that the population realizes that open-air garbage implies diseases, but they do not identify the care needed to minimize and prevent this process. Given this, there is a need to formulate and strengthen public policies of a municipal nature for the collection, disposal and education of the population regarding the risks of waste and its repercussions for public healt.

O estudo objetivou compreender a percepção da comunidade guanambiense sobre os impactos do lixo para saúde. A pesquisa teve abordagem qualitativa exploratória, realizado por meio de entrevistas individuais com 25 participantes de Guanambi-BA.Os dados foram organizados, identificados, transcritos e analisados para posterior análise, sendo divididos em duas categorias: O conhecimento da população sobre a coleta do lixo no território de vivência, e as consequências do acúmulo do lixo para a saúde pública. Dentre os achados da pesquisa, notou-se que a população entrevistada relata dúvidas quanto ao processo de coleta de lixo da cidade. É válido ressaltar que a população percebe que o lixo exposto a céu aberto implica em doenças, mas não identificam os cuidados necessários para minimizar e impedir esse processo. Diante disso, há uma necessidade de formular e fortalecer as políticas públicas de cunho municipal para a coleta, destinação e educação da população quanto aos riscos do lixo e suas repercussões para a saúde pública.

Evaluation of injuries caused by anthropic action in snakes from Brazil / Avaliação das lesões causadas pela ação antrópica em serpentes do Brasil

Human behavior toward wild animals is defined by cultural influences and often is affected by lack of knowledge, mainly in situations of confrontation. The present study was conducted between 2008 and 2013, involving analysis of snakes that had suffered injuries belonging to the reptile collections of Centro Universitário de Lavras and Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora. The injuries were classified according to location on the body. Among the 449 specimens analyzed, 245 specimens showed injury to some part of the body. The nonvenomous snakes were the most representative and had a higher rate of injury (66.3%) than the venomous ones (18.2%). The body region where the greatest percentage of injuries was recorded was the anterior (39.6%), followed by the middle (36.5%) and posterior (8.4%). We believe this fact may have resulted due the lack of knowledge on how to differentiate species. Studies of the relationship between schooling level and contact with environmental education activities demonstrate reduction of attacks on these animals. This fact indicates that the preservation of many species is related to awareness and education of the population.(AU)

O comportamento humano para com os animais selvagens é definido por influências culturais e muitas vezes é afetado por falta de conhecimento, principalmente em situações de confronto. Podendo levar à matança indiscriminada, consequentemente a um estado de declínio. O presente estudo foi realizado entre 2008 e 2013, envolvendo a análise de serpente que sofreram lesões pertencentes às coleções de répteis do Centro Universitário de Lavras e Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora. As lesões foram classificadas de acordo com a localização no corpo. Entre os 449 espécimes analisados, 245 mostram lesões. As serpentes não peçonhentas foram as mais representativas e apresentaram uma maior taxa de lesão (66,3%) do que os peçonhentos (18,2%). A região do corpo onde ocorreu a maior percentagem de lesões registada foi a anterior (39,6%), seguido pelo meio (36,5%) e posterior (8,4%). Acreditamos que este fato pode ter resultado devido a falta de conhecimento sobre como diferenciar espécies. Estudos sobre a relação entre nível de escolaridade e contato com atividades de educação ambiental demonstram redução dos ataques a esses animais. Este fato indica que a preservação de muitas espécies está relacionado à conscientização e educação da população.(AU)
