This study evaluated vaccination and prophylactic use of antimicrobials as strategies to prevent Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy (PPE) during nursery and growth-finishing phases. The prophylactic administration of antimicrobials used in this study did not affect the serological performance post-vaccination&#x...
Abstract: The demand for high-quality soybeans is increasing. The composition of soybean grain can vary with genetics, biophysical, and management factors. In particular, studies on protein concentration are increasing worldwide. The objectives in this study were: (i) to quantify the genetic ...
ABSTRACT: This research evaluated phosphorus availability, from phosphate extracted from swine wastewater, in broilers. Phosphorus inorganic contaminants were determined. Afterward, an experiment was carried out with 2,520 broilers, divided in randomized blocks, 9 treatments (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0...
Objective: The objective of this work was to determine the energetic values of 14 full-fat deactivated soybeans samples, the effect of partial removal of the hull, and to develop equations for predicting digestible (DE), metabolizable (ME), and ME corrected for nitrogen balance (MEn)&#x...
ABSTRACT: The contamination of water bodies through domestic, agricultural, and industrial discharges remains a critical environmental challenge, leading to eutrophication and harmful impacts on aquatic ecosystems and public health. In response, phytoremediation, which utilizes aquatic plants for pollutant ...
Abstract: Zoonotic infections (swine-human) caused by influenza A viruses (IAVs) have been reported and linked to close contact between these species. Here, we describe eight human IAV variant infections (6 mild and 2 severe cases, including 1 death) detected in Paraná, Brazil, during&#...
ABSTRACT: A total of 860 Embrapa 051 pullets were allocated into three groups based on their 19-week body weights (heavy: 1.48 kg ± 0.01 SD, N= 172 birds, medium: 1.32 kg ± 0.039 SD, N= 516 birds, light: 1.19 kg ± 0.019 SD, N=172 birds) and housed in floor&...
ABSTRACT: The inactivated whole soy (IWS) was studied in pigs to determine the energy value through a metabolism trial and evaluate the effect of IWS and protease on performance, carcass traits, and economic viability. Metabolism with pigs (53.80±4.15kg) to determine digestibility coefficien...
