RESUMO
SUMMARY The objective of evaluating sources of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) combined for supplementation of Nelore steers in deferred pasture. After the deferral of four pickets of Brachiaria brizantha cv. MG4 (20 ha each) of 60 days, 80 Nellore steers, with average body weight 280.40 ± 19.59 kg, were evaluated for 120 days. The management adopted was rotational grazing, with pickets changes every 15 days. We evaluated four treatments with different combinations of NNP sources: Urea +Urea extruded + Urea coated; Urea + Urea coated; Urea + Urea extruded and Urea extruded. In all treatments were provided protein supplement-mineral energy ad libitum, with 30% of crude protein and 40% of total digestibility nutrient. When evaluated individually, the NPN sources presented different solubility in water and buffer, and lowest value observed for coated urea (P 0.05).The animals of the treatments Urea + Ureaextruded + Urea coated and Urea extruded showed average daily gain (0.4 kg/day; P 0.05) of animals treatments Urea + Urea extrudedthe animals(0.34 kg/day).The animals of the Urea extruded treatment higher carcass gain (1.71 @/animal) compared to other (P 0.05).The net margin of the Urea extruded treatment (R $ 158,20/animal) was superior in 10.8%, 8.2% and 35.8% to treatments Urea + Urea + Urea coated, Urea + Ureaextruded and Urea + Ureacoated, respectively. It is recommended to use extruded urea as source of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) in supplements of Nellore steers in deferred pasture.
RESUMO Objetivou-se avaliar fontes de nitrogênio não-proteico (NNP) combinadas para suplementação de novilhos Nelore na recria mantidos em pastagens diferidas. Após o deferimento de quatro piquetes de Brachiaria brizantha cv. MG4 por 60 dias (20 ha cada) 80 novilhos Nelore castrados, com peso corporal médio de 280,40±19,59kg, foram avaliados durante 120 dias. O manejo adotado foi pastejo rotacionado, com mudanças de piquetes a cada 15 dias. Foram avaliados quatro tratamentos com diferentes combinações de fontes de NNP: Ureia + Ureia extrusada + Ureia revestida; Ureia + Ureia revestida; Ureia + Ureia extrusada; Ureia extrusada. Em todos os tratamentos foram fornecidos suplemento proteico-energético-mineral ad libitum, com 30% de proteína bruta e 40% de nutrientes digestíveis totais.Quando avaliadas individualmente, as fontes de NNP apresentaram solubilidades distintas em água e solução tampão, sendo o menor valor observado para ureia revestida (P 0,05). Os animais dos tratamentos Ureia + Ureia extrusada + Ureia revestida e Ureia extrusa da apresentaram ganho médio diário superior (0,4kg/dia; P 0,05) aos animais dos tratamentos Ureia + Ureia extrusada (0,34kg/dia). Os animais do tratamento Ureia extrusada apresentaram maior ganho de carcaça (1,71 @/animal) em relação aos demais (P 0,05). A margem líquida do tratamento Ureia extrusada (R$ 158,20/animal) foi superior em 10,8%, 8,2% e 35,8% aos tratamentos Ureia + Ureia extrusada + Ureia revestida, Ureia + Ureia revestida e Ureia + Ureia extrusada, respectivamente. Recomenda-se a utilização de ureia extrusada como fonte de nitrogênio não proteico em suplementos para novilhos Nelore em pastagem diferida.
RESUMO
Background: Urethral neoplasias are rare in small animals and normally have slow growth, but tissue invasion and urethral obstruction are frequent. Prognosis usually is poor due to the high degree of malignity of the main neoplasias involved. Surgical excision is the main form of treatment, but it should be complete with wide safety margins, making partial or complete removal of the bladder with transplantation of the ureters necessary. This report aims at describing a surgical technique, used in a bitch with urethral tumor, which involved complete resection of vulva, vagina and bladder, followed by ureterocolic anastomosis without pelvic osteotomy.Case: A 10-year-old female White Swiss Shepherd dog, weighing 35 kg, was presented with partial ischuria and haematuria for approximately 30 days, with fi nal development of complete ischuria, vomit and anorexia. Urethral swab was performed, and the material obtained was fi xed for cytological examination, which revealed the presence of malignant epithelial neoplasias, giving the case a direction. Staging was achieved through thoracic radiographs in two recumbent views, and metastatic lesions were not found. A radical surgery was proposed to the owner for the treatment of the patiente. The surgical procedure involved complete removal of the lower urinary tract, vagina and vulva, followed by reimplantation of the ureters in the colon
