ABSTRACT

This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro efficacy of commercial disinfectants on Staphylococcus spp., isolated from mastitis cases in goats, and to associate the observed resistance with the presence of the icaD gene. Broth microdilution was employed to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the disinfectants, whereas the Congo Red technique was used for the evaluation of biofilm production and amplification of the icaD gene. All evaluated samples were sensitive to disinfectants, with the following ranges of activity: quaternary ammonium (0.13 - 21.33 µg/ml), chlorhexidine (4.00 - 313.00 µg/ml) and iodine (190.00 - 12500.00 µg/ml); however, the sodium hypochlorite-based disinfectant showed no bactericidal activity in the concentration range from 15.0 to 0.03 µg/ml. The icaD gene presented a frequency of 14.7% in the isolate samples. Fishers exact test showed a significant effect of the relation between the minimum bactericidal concentration value of the quaternary ammonium-based disinfectant and the presence/absence of the icaD gene (P <0.01). Commercial disinfectants with quaternary ammonium, chlorhexidine and iodine active ingredients presented in vitro activity even at concentrations lower than those recommended by the manufacturers. Therefore, the periodic evaluation of the sensitivity profile of the disinfectants must be performed.(AU)


O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a eficácia in vitro de desinfetantes comerciais frente à Staphylococcus spp. isolados de casos de mastite em cabras e, relacionar a resistência observada com a presença do gene icaD. A microdiluição em caldo foi utilizada para avaliar a atividade antimicrobiana in vitro dos desinfetantes, enquanto a técnica de vermelho congo para a avaliação da produção de biofilme e amplificação do gene icaD. Todas as amostras avaliadas foram sensíveis aos desinfetantes, com as seguintes faixas de atividade: amônia quaternária (0,13 - 21,33 µg/ml), clorexidina (4,00 - 313,00 µg/ml) e iodo (190,00 - 12500,00 µg/ml), no entanto o desinfetante a base de hipoclorito de sódio não apresentou atividade bactericida na faixa de concentração 15,0 a 0,03 µg/ml. O gene icaD apresentou frequência de 14,7% nos isolados. O teste exato de Fisher apontou efeito significativo da relação entre o valor da concentração bactericida mínima do desinfetante à base de amônia quaternária e a presença/ausência do gene icaD (P<0,01). Os desinfetantes comerciais com os princípios ativos amônia quaternária, clorexidina e iodo, apresentaram atividade in vitro até mesmo em concentrações inferiores às preconizadas pelos fabricantes o que torna necessária a realização periódica da avaliação do perfil de sensibilidade dos desinfetantes.(AU)

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to detect Mycoplasma agalactiae (Ma) and the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster (Mmcluster) in 373 goat milk samples of different breeds from herds located in Pernambuco and Paraíba states, as well as to evaluate somatic cell count (SCC) and milk composition from positive animals. For this, DNA extraction from milk samples was carried out, followed by generic and species-specific amplification by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Milk constituents were determined by medium infrared spectrometry and SCC by flow cytometry. Analyses of variance and tests of comparison of means verified the effects of positivity on the evaluated characteristics. The frequencies for Ma and Mmcluster were 43.21 and 5.70%, respectively. In all genetic groups, Ma was detected in all positive samples, whereas Mmcluster was only observed in samples from Moxotó, Parda Sertaneja, and that without a defined racial pattern. Statistical difference was observed (p < 0.05) between mean values of protein, casein and SCC in positive and negative Ma samples. In terms of Mmcluster there was only a statistically significant difference in the SCC parameter. The detection of Mycoplasma in samples of goat milk suggests an introduction of infected animals into the evaluated herds, as well as possible contact with the etiological agents at fairs and exhibitions.(AU)


O presente trabalho teve como objetivo detectar Mycoplasma agalactiae (Ma) e Mycoplasma mycoides cluster (Mmcluster) em 373 amostras de leite caprino de diferentes raças, pertencentes a rebanhos localizados nos estados de Pernambuco e Paraíba, bem como avaliar a composição e a contagem de células somáticas (CCS) de leite de animais positivos para aqueles agentes. Para isso realizou-se a extração de DNA de amostras de leite, seguida de amplificação genérica e espécie-específica por Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase (PCR). Os constituintes do leite foram determinados por espectrômetro de infravermelho médio e a CCS, por citometria de fluxo. As análises de variância e testes de comparação de médias verificaram os efeitos da positividade sobre as características avaliadas. As frequências para Ma e Mmcluster foram de 43,21 e 5,70%, respectivamente. Em todos os grupos genéticos foram detectadas amostras positivas para Ma, enquanto que para Mmcluster só foram observadas em animais das raças Moxotó, Parda Sertaneja e sem padrão racial definido. Observou-se diferença estatística (p < 0,05) entre as médias de proteína, caseína e CCS de amostras positivas e negativas para Ma. Para Mmcluster, verificou-se diferença estatística significativa apenas para o parâmetro CCS. A detecção de Mycoplasma em amostras de leite caprino sugere a introdução de animais infectados nos rebanhos avaliados, como também o possível contato com os agentes etiológicos em feiras e exposições.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Os objetivos do presente trabalho foram determinar a prevalência de caprinos leiteiros soropositivos para a infecção por Lentivirus de pequenos ruminantes no semiárido do Estado da Paraíba, Nordeste do Brasil, identificar fatores de risco associados à prevalência de rebanhos positivos, e realizar a detecção molecular do agente. Foram utilizadas 1047 cabras leiteiras de 110 propriedades selecionadas aleatoriamente no Município de Monteiro, Estado da Paraíba, no período de março de 2009 a dezembro de 2011. Para o diagnóstico da infecção por Lentivirus, foi utilizado o teste de imunodifusão em gel de ágar (AGID). Um ano após foi realizada nova sorologia, e PCR em tempo real foi aplicada em amostras de sangue e leite de 48 cabras procedentes de quatro propriedades com animais soropositivos. As prevalências de propriedades positivas e de animais soropositivos na AGID foram 44,6% (IC 95% = 35,1% - 54,3%) e 8,1% (IC 95% = 5,6% - 16,8%), respectivamente. Realizar corte e desinfecção de umbigo (odds ratio = 2,44; p = 0,048) e condições de aglomeração de animais (odds ratio = 3,45; p = 0,048) foram associadas com a prevalência de propriedades positivas. Um ano após a realização do inquérito sorológico, foi verificada a permanência de animais infectados, detectados por PCR em tempo real a partir de amostras de sangue e leite. A PCR em tempo real das amostras de leucócitos circulantes apresentou boa performance, com sensibilidade de 100%, especificidade de 92,86%, concordância de 93,75% e indicador Kappa de 0,765. Sugere-se que seja realizado um trabalho de educação sanitária junto aos produtores sobre medidas de prevenção com o objetivo de reduzir a disseminação da infecção nos rebanhos.(AU)


The aims of this study were to determine the seroprevalence of infection by ruminants Lentivirus in dairy goats in the semiarid of the Paraiba State, Northeastern Brazil, to identify risk factors associated with the herd-level prevalence and to perform molecular detection of the agent. A total of 1,047 dairy goats from 110 herds were randomly selected from the county of Monteiro, Paraiba State, and serum samples were collected from March 2009 to December 2011. For the diagnosis of Lentivirus infection, the agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGID) was used. One year after that a new serology was performed and the real-time PCR assay was applied in blood and milk samples from 48 goats from four herds with seropositive animals. Prevalence of positive herds and seropositive animals at AGID were 44.6% (95% CI=35.1-54.3%) and 8.1% (95% CI =5.6-16.8%), respectively. Umbilical cord cutting and disinfection (odds ratio = 2.44; p = 0.048) and conditions of animal agglomeration (odds ratio=3.45; p=0.048) were associated with herd-level prevalence. One year after the serological profile, the permanence of infected animals detected by real-time PCR in blood and milk samples was verified. Real-time PCR using white blood cells had a good performance, with sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 92.86%, concordance of 93.75% and Kappa index of 0.765. It was suggested to teach sanitary measures to the herd owners in order to encourage them to adopt prevention measures aiming to reduce the spread of the infection in the herds.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Um inquérito soroepidemiológico foi conduzido para a pesquisa de anticorpos anti-Chlamydophila abortus, anti-Toxoplasma gondii, anti-Neospora caninum e anti-Brucella abortus em caprinos leiteiros do semiárido da Paraíba. A amostragem foi delineada para a determinação da prevalência de propriedades positivas (focos) e de animais soropositivos. Foi realizada uma seleção aleatória de propriedades (unidades primárias) e, dentro dessas, foi escolhido, de forma aleatória, um número pré-estabelecido de fêmeas caprinas (unidades secundárias). Ao todo foi colhido sangue de 974 fêmeas caprinas provenientes de 110 propriedades. [...] Sugere-se que esforços sejam concentrados na condução de medidas de prevenção e controle das infecções por C. abortus, T. gondii e N. caninum em caprinos leiteiros do semiárido da Paraíba, especialmente aquelas relacionadas à correção de fatores de risco, visando a redução da prevalência e da disseminação desses agentes nesses animais e a possível exposição de seres humanos


A seroepidemiological study for anti-Chlamydophila abortus, anti-Toxoplasma gondii, anti-Neospora caninum and anti-Brucella abortus antibody research was carried out in dairy goats from the semiarid of Paraíba state. Sampling was delineated for the determination of positive flocks (foci) and seropositive animals prevalences. A random selection of flocks (primary units) was performed and a pre-established number of female goats (secundary units) were sampled in each of these flocks. A total of 975 serum samples from 110 flocks were collected. [...] It was suggested that efforts be concentrated on the application of control and prevention measures for C. abortus, T. gondii and N. caninum infections in dairy goats from the semiarid of the Paraíba state, especially those related to the correction of risk factors, aiming to reduce the prevalence and spread of these agents and possible exposure of humans

ABSTRACT

Foram utilizados 12 animais da raça Saanen, com peso vivo de 35 kg e produção leiteira de 1,2 kg, para avaliação da suplementação lipídica sobre o consumo, digestibilidade, produção e composição do leite e quatro animais fistulados no rúmen para observação do pH. Os tratamentos consistiram de uma dieta-controle e três dietas suplementadas com semente de faveleira, torta de faveleira e caroço de algodão. Os dados foram analisados em quadrados latinos 4 x 4, com três repetições e as análises estatísticas feitas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. A suplementação lipídica diminuiu o consumo de matéria seca e da maioria dos nutrientes, com reflexo sobre a produção e composição do leite de cabras Saanen. A suplementação com torta de faveleira e com caroço de algodão pode ser considerada uma boa alternativa alimentar para cabras Saanen.(AU)


This study used 12 Saanen goats with BW of 35 kg and daily milk production of 1.2 kg, in order to evaluate the effect of fat supplementation on the intake, digestibility and milk yield. Four animals were fistulated in the rumen for pH observation. The treatments consisted of a control diet and three diets supplemented with faveleira seed, faveleira cake and cotton seed. The data were analyzed in 4 x 4 chi squares, with three repetitions and the statistical analyses by Tukey's test at 5% probability. Fat supplementation decreases the intake of dry matter and of most nutrients, affecting milk yield and the composition of Saanen goat milk. Supplementation with faveleira cake and cotton seeds can be considered as an alternative feed for those animals.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Conduziu-se o estudo do perfil metabólico, com o objetivo de avaliar o estado nutricional ou possíveis distúrbios metabólicos que podem comprometer a saúde e, consequentemente, o desempenho do rebanho. No presente trabalho foi avaliado o perfil metabólico de cabras em lactação, submetidas a dietas com diferentes fontes de lipídios. Foram utilizadas 16 cabras da raça Saanen com peso vivo médio de 35 Kg e produção média diária de 1,2 kg de leite, distribuídas em quadrado latino com três repetições. Os tratamentos experimentais consistiram nas seguintes dietas: sem suplementação lipidica (TC); semente de faveleira (SF); torta de faveleira (TF) e caroço de algodão (CA). O experimento foi desenvolvido em quatro períodos experimentais de 14 dias, sendo 10 dias de adaptação à dieta e quatro dias de coleta de dados. No último dia de cada período foram coletadas amostras de sangue. A inclusão de semente de oleaginosa na dieta de cabras em lactação diminuiu o consumo de matéria seca por unidade metabólica (CMSU) e consumo de proteína bruta por unidade metabólica (CPBU). Dentre os quatro tratamentos não se observou diferença significativa no que se refere à concentração sérica de uréia, creatinina, GGT (gama glutamiltransferase), cálcio, fósforo, magnésio e glicose. Os níveis séricos de albumina dos animais que receberam TF foram maiores (P<0,05) do que os animais do grupo controle. Este trabalho sugere que as fontes de oleaginosas podem ser utilizadas na suplementação lipídica de cabras Saanen em lactação, entretanto animais alimentados com TF apresentaram um perfil metabólico mais saudável em função da suplementação lipídica.


The study of the metabolic profile has as objective to evaluate the nutritional status or possible metabolic disturbances that can damage the health and consequently the herd performance. In this work, the metabolic profile of lactating goats was evaluated, submitted to diets with different fat sources. 12 Saanen goats with BW of 35 kg and daily milk production of 1,2 kg were used, distributed into a Latin square with three repetitions. The diet comprised, without fat supplementation, TC (control) and with fat supplementation: SF (favelone seed); TF (favelone cake) and CA (cotton seed).The experiment was developed in four experimental periods of 14 days, with 10 days of adaptation to diets and four days for samples collection. In the last day of each period were collected blood samples. The inclusion of oleaginous seed into the lactating goats' diet decreased the dry matter consumption for metabolic unit (CMU) and consumption of crude protein for metabolic unit (CPMU). No significant differences in serum urea, creatinine, GGT (gamma glutamyltransferase), calcium, phosphorus, magnesium or glucose values were noticed in any of the four treatments. The serum levels of albumin in the animals that received TF were higher (P<0.05) than the animals of the control group. This work suggests that the oleaginous sources can be used as fat supplementation of lactating Saanen goats; however, animals fed the TF showed a healthier metabolic profile due to the fat supplement.

ABSTRACT

Background: Milk is one of the most used foodstuffs by humans in their diet. The quality of goat milk is already regulated by Law, which takes into consideration its physical-chemical and microbiological composition parameters. Several factors contribute for the alteration of the physical-chemical and microbiological parameters of caprine milk. These include breed, age, lactation phase and diet, among others. The health status of animals may interfere in the quality of the milk produced, both regarding food safety and milk processing and, for that reason, the identification of mastitis-causing agents is important, so that prevention and control measures can be implemented. The present study aimed at analyzing the occurrence of mastitis and the milk composition of dairy goats in a semi-intensive production system. Materials, Methods & Results: In a private goat farm with a flock composed of 32 female animals of breeds such as Saanen and Anglo-Nubian, raised on a semi-confined system, the diagnosis of mastitis was made through methods such as California Mastitis Test (CMT), Somatic Cells Count (SCC) and bacterial isolation. A total of 136 milk samples were analyzed, which were individualized per teat. Additionally, the study determined the volume of milk produced individually and the chemical composition of milk samples (fat, raw protein, lactose and total solids). In 37 (27.2%) samples, subclinical mastitis caused by CNS was identified. A negative response to CMT was observed in 125 (91.92%) samples. Only four samples presented a coincidence (OR =1.239) between CMT and bacterial isolation (P =0.7470). It was observed that the daily milk production ranged between 207.90 mL and 2.68 L. Moreover, it became clear that the milk production in half of the teats with subclinical mastitis was smaller (P =0.0026).(...)

The quality of goat milk is already regulated by Law, which takes into consideration its physical-chemical and microbiological composition parameters. Several factors contribute for the alteration of the physical-chemical and microbiological parameters of caprine milk. These include breed, age, lactation phase and diet, among others. The health status of animals may interfere in the quality of the milk produced, both regarding food safety and milk processing and, for that reason, the identification of mastitis-causing agents is important, so that prevention and control measures can be implemented. The present study aimed at analyzing the occurrence of mastitis and the milk composition of dairy goats in a semi-intensive production system. Materials, Methods & Results: In a private goat farm with a flock composed of 32 female animals of breeds such as Saanen and Anglo-Nubian, raised on a semi-confined system, the diagnosis of mastitis was made through methods such as California Mastitis Test (CMT), Somatic Cells Count (SCC) and bacterial isolation. A total of 136 milk samples were analyzed, which were individualized per teat. Additionally, the study determined the volume of milk produced individually and the chemical composition of milk samples (fat, raw protein, lactose and total solids). In 37 (27.2%) samples, subclinical mastitis caused by CNS was identified. A negative response to CMT was observed in 125 (91.92%) samples. Only four samples presented a coincidence (OR =1.239) between CMT and bacterial isolation (P =0.7470). It was observed that the daily milk production ranged between 207.90 mL and 2.68 L. Moreover, it became clear that the milk production in half of the teats with subclinical mastitis was smaller (P =0.0026).(...)(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivando avaliar a ocorrência de anticorpos anti-Toxoplasma gondii, em caprinos leiteiros do estado de São Paulo, e verificar possíveis associações com idade, sexo, presença de gatos, problemas reprodutivos e potenciais riscos à saúde pública, foram considerados soros de 923 caprinos, de ambos os sexos e idade acima de três meses, provenientes de 17 propriedades de diferentes municípios. Para o diagnóstico, utilizou-se a reação de imunofluorescência indireta (RIFIe"16) e, também, um inquérito sobre saúde, a fim de se coletarem informações epidemiológicas e de esfera reprodutiva de todos os capris. Os resultados foram discutidos no nível de 5% de significância. Do total das 17 propriedades, foram diagnosticados 15 focos de T. gondii, com positividade entre 2,70% e 81,25%. Não foram verificadas associações entre freqüência de soropositividade e sexo dos animais nem ocorrência de falhas reprodutivas, nos capris. Constatou-se influência positiva na taxa de anticorpos anti-T. gondii pelo aumento da idade dos caprinos e presença de gatos, nos capris. Além de a enfermidade encontrar-se amplamente difundida no estado de São Paulo, o risco eminente de transmissão de T. gondii à saúde pública também deve ser considerado, uma vez que se encontraram focos onde se comercializavam produtos "in natura", como leite e carne.(AU)


The study evaluated the anti-Toxplasma gondii antibodies occurrence in dairy goats in São Paulo State, and also verified likely associations with age, sex, presence of cats, occurrence of reproductive problems, and potential risks to public health. Serum was obtained from 923 animals of both sex, over three months of age from 17 properties in different cities. For the diagnosis, the indirect immunofluorescence reaction (RIFIe"16) and a questionnaire about health to collect epidemiological information and the reproductive cycle of every goat were used. Among all properties, 15 foci of T. gondii were diagnosed with seropositivity ranging from 2.70% to 81.25%. Neither association between the frequency of seropositivity and the sex of animals nor occurrence of reproduction failure of goats was identified. There was positive influence of anti-T. gondii antibody rate due to the older age of the animals and the presence of cats in pens. The risk of transmitting T. gondii to the public health must be considered, once in some properties where the positive serology was verified natural, products such as milk and/or meat are commercialized. Results were discussed at 5% level of significance.(AU)
