ABSTRACT

The present study evaluated the heat stress response pattern of dual-purpose Guzerá cattle for test-day (TD) milk yield records of first lactation and estimated genetic parameters and trends related to heat stress. A total of 31,435 TD records from 4,486 first lactations of Guzerá cows, collected between 1986 and 2012, were analysed. Two random regression models considered days in milk (DIM) and/or temperature × humidity-dependent (THI) covariate. Impacts of -0.037, -0.019 and -0.006 kg/day/THI for initial and intermediate stages of lactation were observed when considering the mean maximum daily temperature and humidity to calculate THI. Heritability estimates ranged from 0.16 to 0.35 throughout lactation and THI values, suggesting the possibility to expect gains from selection for such trait. The variable trajectory of breeding values for dual-purpose Guzerá sires in response to changes in THI values confirms that the genotype × environment interaction due to heat stress can have some effect on TD milk yield. Despite the high dairy performance of Guzerá cattle under heat stress, estimated genetic trends showed a progressive reduction in heat tolerance. Therefore, new strategies should be adopted to prevent negative impacts of heat stress over milk production in Guzerá animals in future.

ABSTRACT

O rinofima é um tumor benigno reconhecido clinicamente por uma hipertrofia nasal, decorrente de hiperplasia das glândulas sebáceas, com eritema da pele e telangiectasias. O resultado é um desfiguramento podendo ocasionar bloqueio funcional nasal e infecçäo recorrente. O termo é derivado do grego e foi utilizado pela primeira vez por Hebra, em 1845. E 12 vezes mais frequente em homens e atinge caracteristicamente caucasianos brancos, entre 40 e 60 anos. E raro em negros e orientais. Usualmente restrito à metade inferior do nariz, pode ainda desenvolver-se em outros locais, como o mento, pavilhäo auricular, regiäo malar e glabela. Embora a causa seja desconhecida, múltiplos fatores devem estar envolvidos, como a açäo dos hormônios androgênicos, fatores ambientais, alimentares e psicossomáticos. Várias modalidades terapêuticas têm sido reportadas na literatura, como a eletrodissecçäo, a dermoabrasäo, a ressecçäo com laser, bisturi de Shaw, entre outras
