Adequação de sistemas de produção leiteira da região de Maringá frente à instrução normativa 51 (IN-51/2002) e impacto sobre o preço de venda / Suitability of dairy production systems in the area of northwest of Parana front normative instruction number 51 of ministry of agriculture and impact on the selling price

Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a adequação de sistemas de produção leiteira da região de Maringá à Instrução Normativa-51 (IN-51/2002) e os impactos destas obre o preço de venda do leite, usando como parâmetros os níveis de contagem de células somáticas (CCS) e contagem bacteriana total (CBT). Foi realizado um levantamento da qualidade do leite e do preço pago ao produtor, com base nos valores médios do CONSELEITE, durante o período de janeiro de 2010 a março de 2011. As análises de CCS e CBT foram realizadas no Laboratório da APCBRH em Curitiba-PR, utilizando os equipamentos Somacount 500® e Bactoscan®, respectivamente. Em função das amostras de leite coletadas pode-se inferir que apenas 28% das propriedades avaliadas encontram-se enquadrados na IN-51/2002.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of dairy production systems in the area of Northwest of Parana front of Normative instruction number 51 and their impact on the selling price of milk using the levels of SCC and TBC in milk. A survey on milk quality and the price paid to producers, based on average values of CONSELEITE, was carried out from January 2010 to March 2011. Analyses of milk SCC and TBC were conducted at the Laboratory of APCBRH in Curitiba-PR using the Somacount 500 ® and Bactoscan ® equipment, respectively. Only 28% of the properties were set within the normative instruction 51 using milk samples collected for the present survey.

Production, Composition, Fatty Acids Profile and Stability of Milk and Blood Composition of Dairy Cows Fed High Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Diets and Sticky Coffee Hull

Four lactating Holstein cows were assigned to a 4 × 4 Latin square design to determine the effects of feeding sticky coffee hull (SCH) as a source of antioxidants on dairy cows fed with high PUFA diets. The treatments (on DM basis) were control diet, diet with 30 g/kg of soybean oil, diet with 30 g/kg of soybean oil and 100 g/kg of SCH, and diet with 30 g/kg of soybean oil and 150 g/kg of SCH. Inclusion of 150 g/kg of SCH decreased the crude protein digestibility. Lower values of NDF digestibility were also observed when cows were fed with 100 g/kg and 150g/kg of SCH. The digestibility of NDT was lower in the control and 150 g/kg of SCH diets. Milk production and composition did not differ among the treatments. Inclusion of SCH increased the total polyphenols and flavonoids in the milk and reducing power as well. Soybean oil and SCH supplementation increased the LDL and total cholesterol concentration in the plasma. Milk fatty acid profile was barely altered by the treatments. In conclusion, the results confirmed that SCH added up to 15% in the diet did not alter milk production, improved its stability, and incorporated antioxidants substances in the milk, improving its quality for human health.

Monitoring the nutritional and reproductive state of dairy cows through the presence of urea in milk

The effects of farm, parity (PO) and month of parturition on milk production, percentage of fat and protein, somatic cell count (SCC), and milk urea nitrogen (MUN) concentration were assessed on four specialized dairy farms using 120 cows. Also, the effects of MUN on gestation rate (GR) and artificial insemination rate (AIR) in early lactation were studied. The parameters of production and milk quality were similar among farms and were not influenced by the month of parturition. Farm D presented the highest MUN concentration. Concentration of MUN, percentages of fat and protein and SCC were not influenced by PO. Cows with a value of MUN between 10.1 and 13.0 mg/dL had the highest AIR and GR between days 55 and 70 postpartum and after 70 days in milk. These data suggested that MUN concentration was a useful parameter to predict the nutritional and reproductive stages of dairy cows.

Avaliaram-se os efeitos de fazendas, ordem de parto (OP) e mês de parição sobre a produção de leite (PL), porcentagem de gordura, de proteína, contagem de células somáticas (CCS) e nitrogênio uréico no leite (NUL) de quatro fazendas leiteiras especializadas, totalizando 120 vacas em lactação. Estudaram-se, também, os efeitos do NUL sobre a taxa de gestação (TG) e taxa de inseminação (TIA) no início da lactação. Os parâmetros produtivos e de qualidade do leite foram semelhantes entre fazendas e não sofreram influência do mês de parição. A Fazenda D apresentou a maior taxa de NUL. A OP não influenciou a NUL, por cento de gordura, por cento de proteína e CCS. Os animais com NUL entre 10,1 - 13,0 mg/dL apresentaram as maiores TIA e TG, tanto nas fases de 55 - 70 dias como após 70 dias pós-parto. Conclui-se que o NUL é um parâmetro útil para monitorar o estado nutricional e reprodutivo de vacas leiteiras.
