ABSTRACT

The quail for being an alternative species will be able to supply a new market niche due to its fast growth, high laying rate, low feed intake, in addition to the increase of the acceptance of its products by the consumer. A growing interest in raising the stocking rates in the cages as an alternative to increase the performance of the stock is noticed; although studies demonstrate that high densities can result into unfavorable environment to the birds welfare with alterations in the performance of the flocks and as a stressing factor being able to alter the production and profitability of the flock. At high stocking rates, the birds become predisposed to aggressiveness reactions, presenting cannibalism behavior, besides the combination of factors such as pH, temperature, ventilation and humidity deficiency which create environmental conditions favorable for certain benign bacteria which utilize uric acid of the manure through their enzymatic complexes and produce ammonia, causing stress to birds and which can cause damages to performance with significant economic losses to the producer.  The experiment with 112-day duration was conducted with the objective of evaluating the inclusion of acidulants in the Japanese quails drinking water and verifying the effect on the stocking rate in cages.

ABSTRACT

This study was developed to evaluate the effect of adding natural pigments on the storage of eggs from laying hens in the second production cycle submitted to diets based on corn and low-tannin sorghum. A total of 160 eggs from Hy-Line Brown laying hens at 90 - weeks old after forced molting were used. The study evaluated the isolated effect and the interaction of two factors: the inclusion of natural pigments (control diet - 50% low-tannin sorghum replacing the corn; RC - 2% powdered dry turmeric rhizome; PU - 2% dry annatto powder; RCPU - 1% turmeric rhizome + 1% dry annatto powder) combined with the storage period (0, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days). The studied variables were: specific gravity, percentages of yolk, albumen and shell in relation to the egg weight, and yolk color. Yolk color was more intense with increasing percentage of annatto. The inclusion of 2% annatto powder promotes and maintains an adequate pigmentation of egg yolk when stored for up to 21 days. Regardless of natural pigment supplementation, the egg quality decreases as storage time increases.


A pesquisa foi desenvolvida objetivando-se avaliar o efeito da inclusão de pigmentantes naturais no período de estocagem de ovos de poedeiras em segundo ciclo de produção, submetidas a dietas à base de milho e sorgo baixo tanino. Foram utilizados 160 ovos, provenientes de aves da linhagem Hy-Line Brown de 90 semanas pós-muda forçada. Foi avaliado o efeito isolado e a interação de dois fatores: inclusão de pigmentantes naturais na dieta-controle - 50% sorgo baixo tanino em substituição ao milho; RC - 2% pó de rizoma de cúrcuma seco; PU - 2% pó de urucum seco; RCPU - 1% cúrcuma + 1% urucum associada ao período de estocagem (zero, três, sete, 14 e 21 dias). As variáveis estudadas foram: gravidade específica (GE), percentagens de gema, albúmen e casca em relação ao peso do ovo, e coloração da gema. A coloração da gema apresentou-se mais intensa quanto maior foi a percentagem de urucum utilizada. A inclusão de 2% de pó de urucum promove e mantém adequada a pigmentação das gemas dos ovos quando armazenados por até 21 dias. Independente da suplementação de pigmentantes naturais, a qualidade do ovo decresce com o incremento do tempo de armazenamento.

ABSTRACT

In order to keep a good position in the world poultry production, Brazilians producers have to improve their knowledge about stress conditions in high temperatures, due to the temperatures of most area of our country and mainly in the scene of global warming. Research has shown higher needs of vitamins and minerals in the diet of heat stresses birds, but during the hotter periods of the year their consumption of food decreases and the vitamins stability of the pre-mixes also tend to decrease. This literature review resumes some strategies to minimize heatwarming effects in the poultry production.


Altas temperaturas prevalecem na maioria das regiões brasileiras a maior parte do ano, e para manter a posição obtida em escala de produção e exportação, torna-se relevante que o estímulo às novas pesquisas e informações técnicas sejam melhor detalhadas, na determinação da otimização da criação em condições de estresse por calor. De maneira geral, pesquisas têm demonstrado que aves estressadas necessitam de maior aporte de vitaminas e minerais. Aliado a isto, soma-se o fato de que nas épocas quentes do ano o consumo voluntário de ração diminui e que a estabilidade das vitaminas nos premixes tende a diminuir no verão. Esta revisão procurou apresentar de maneira resumida algumas estratégias, principalmente no que se refere ao uso de alguns minerais e vitaminas, na tentativa de minimizar os efeitos deletérios do calor na produtividade de frangos de corte.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of diets supplemented with vitamins C and E and organic minerals Zn and Se on hematological and serum biochemical parameters in broilers under cyclic heat stress (HS) (25 to 35oC or termoneutral environment (TN) (21 to 25 oC), both with 70% humidity. A 4x2 factorial design was used with four levels of vitaminmineral supplementation (T1-control diet: 60/30 UI vitamin E in starter and grower diets, respectively; no vitamin C, 80 ppm of inorganic Zn e 0.3 ppm of inorganic Se); T2- control diet + 100 UI vit E and 300 ppm vit C/kg; T3- control diet + 40 ppm of organic Zn and 0.3 ppm of organic Se/kg and T4- control diet + supplementation levels of T2 and T3) and two environments: cyclic heat stress and termoneutral, from the 14o day of age. The experimental period was from 1 to 35 days of age. By the slaughtering, at 35 days of age, 10mL of blood from six birds per treatment were collected from jugular and sent to analysis of total proteins, glucose, fructosamine, albumin, glubulin, hematocrit, hemoglobin, total and differential leukocyte counting and heterophils/ linphocytes (H/L). The lymphoid organs bursa and spleen were weighted and the weight of lymphoid organs/ body weight ratio was established. The cyclic heat stress caused a reduction in the absolute and relative weight of bursa and spleen), reduction in the hemoglobin c

ABSTRACT

This research aimed to verify the effect of two nutritional profiles with more fat (2.4 x 4.0%) and less crude protein (19.5 x 18.5%) in the abdominal fat of broilers with 21 to 42 days submitted to cyclic heat stress (25-32C). The direct effect of heat in the abdominal fat of the birds in a pair feeding consumption treatment was also verified. The factorial 2x2+2 was used, being the factors two environments thermoneutral (21-25C and UR 73%) and cyclic heat stress (25- 32C and UR 65%), and two diet profiles - control (2.4% fat and 19.5% protein) and summer (4.0% fat and 18.5% protein) with supplement of Lys and Met + Cys to the level of the control diet. Two treatments were applied in the thermoneutral environment: broilers received paired feeding diet with the birds stressed by heat, for both kinds of ratio. The animals were slaughtered in the 42nd day of treatment. After weighted and slaughtered, their abdominal fat was removed and weighted. The yield was calculated as fat weight by carcass weight. The diet with 1.6 % more fat and 1% less protein did not interfere with the abdominal fat yield. In the equalized consumption treatment, the environmental temperature did not influence the abdominal fat yield.

Utilizouse um fatorial 2x2+2, sendo os fatores dois ambientes - termoneutro (21-25C e UR 73%) e estresse cíclico por calor (25-32C e UR 65%), e dois tipos de dieta- controle (2,4% gordura e 19,5% proteína) e verão (4,0% de gordura e 18,5% de proteína com suplementação de Lys e Met + Cys ao nível da dieta controle). No ambiente termoneutro, foram criados mais dois tratamentos, nos quais as aves receberam dieta em quantidade pareada com as aves do estresse por calor, para ambos os tipos de ração. O abate dos animais foi realizado aos 42 dias, para todos os tratamentos. Após a pesagem das aves para se determinar o rendimento de carcaça, a gordura abdominal foi retirada manualmente, pesada e em seguida foi calculada a percentagem de gordura abdominal na forma de rendimento, isto é, peso da gordura dividido pelo peso da carcaça.
