The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design in a 3 × 2 + 1 factorial arrangement, totaling seven treatments. These treatments included three storage periods (3.5, 6.5, and 9.5 days) and two pre-heating periods (0 and 4 h at 37.5°C and 60% RH). Pre-heating was conducted on the third day of egg storage inside the incubator machine, with the control treatment involving the storage of fertile eggs for 12 h without pre-heating. Extended egg storage for more than six days led to an increase in the percentages of yolk and shell, elevated albumen pH, reduced albumen percentage, diminished hatchability rate, and an increased embryonic mortality rate. Pre-heating the eggs resulted in a reduction in the weight, length, and amount of residual yolk sac of the newly hatched chick. No significant effects of pre-heating fertile Japanese quail eggs during storage were observed on the studied variables. Therefore, the protocol involving a 4-h pre-heating at 37.5 ºC and 60% relative humidity during the storage period does not yield improvements in incubation rates or chick quality in Japanese quail. Further studies are warranted to determine the optimal protocol for pre-heating Japanese quail eggs.","PeriodicalId":21921,"journal":{"name":"Semina: Ciências Agrárias","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140483227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tendo em vista essa grande produtividade e a preocupação com a qualidade da carne produzida, os estabelecimentos produtores estão buscando meios para maior conservação do produto, sendo a embalagem a vácuo um dos mais utilizados. O objetivo do trabalho foi acompanhar a microbiota indicadora e patogênica durante a shelf life de Longissimus dorsi bovino embalado a vácuo. Foram avaliadas amostras de contrafilé coletadas e acondicionadas na seção de desossa de um frigorífico sob inspeção federal. Cada amostra foi fracionada em quatro peças e cada peça foi utilizada para compor uma parte de cada um dos pools, sendo totalizado quatro pools mantidos à 7ºC e analisados de 0 até os 60 dias de embalagem primária, com intervalo de 20 dias. Foram quantificados aeróbios mesófilos, psicrotróficos, enterobactérias, coliformes a 30°C, Escherichia coli e Staphylococcus spp. Através de abordagens moleculares foram caracterizados os patótipos de E. coli produtora da toxina shiga (STEC), enteropatogênica (EPEC), enterohemorrágica (EHEC), enteroagregativa (EAEC), enterotoxigênica (ETEC) e enteroinvasiva (EIEC), Pseudomonas spp. entre os psicrotróficos, Salmonella spp. e Listeria monocytogenes. As quantificações dos micro-organismos indicadores foram aumentando progressivamente a cada intervalo de análise, com destaque para os psicrotróficos que aumentaram de 5 x 101 no dia 0 para 4,2 x 108 UFC/g no dia 60, predominando Pseudomonas spp. (48%). As contagens que possuem padrão determinado por legislações vigentes tiveram seus limites ultrapassados, como E. coli, desde o dia 20 (7 x 102 UFC/g). Foram identificadas EPEC, ETEC, STEC e EIEC, além de L. monocytogenes em todas as análises e Salmonella spp., essa última só não detectada no primeiro dia de shelf life.

The Ralstonia solanacearum species complex occurs as a result of variants being widely diverse in terms of adaptation to different climatic conditions, host variations, and aggressiveness, which complicate disease control recommendations. In this study, we employed molecular methods to analyze 26 R. solanacearum isolates collected from tomato plants cultivated in the southwest region of Paraná, Brazil. Isolates were obtained from plants exhibiting wilt symptoms in a protected cultivation system and in an open field. The specific primers 759/760 confirmed the isolates as part of the Ralstonia solanacearum complex, and Nmult primers were used to identify the phylotype. Variability analysis using BOX-PCR with the BOX-A1R primer on 19 isolates revealed molecular diversity. All 26 isolates were confirmed as Ralstonia solanacearum, belonging to phylotype II. Comparison of genomic DNA band patterns amplified by BOX-PCR indicated molecular variability, forming eight groups at a similarity level of 0.63.

Silicon (Si), however, has the potential to alleviate stress and enhance plant performance under unfavorable conditions. This study aimed to analyze the performance of tomato plants cultivated under different water replacement depths and forms of silicon application. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement represented by two water replacement depths (60% and 100% of crop evapotranspiration - ETc) and four forms of silicon application (without application, soil application - full dose, soil application - split dose, and foliar applications). Four replications were used. The plants were cultivated in a protected environment using drip irrigation for water replacement, and silicon oxide served as the source of the element. The analyzed parameters included daily evapotranspiration, leaf spectral reflectance, mass accumulation (root, stem, and leaf), yield indices (fruit weight, plant yield, and defective fruits), water productivity, and post-harvest fruit weight loss. The imposition of water deficit (60% of ETc) in tomato leads to reduced crop development and yield, with the effects partially mitigated by the application of silicon. Conversely, under conditions of adequate water replacement (100% of ETc), silicon application contributes to increased development and yield of tomato. The application of silicon in the soil, whether in a full or split dose, demonstrates a more favorable response in vegetative indices and yield for tomato.","PeriodicalId":21921,"journal":{"name":"Semina: Ciências Agrárias","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140482634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A field trial study was conducted to estimate the effect of the vaccination on the Salmonella spp. seroprevalence, presence in lymph nodes, and fecal content in commercial pig herds in a vertical integration system belonging to an agroindustry. Furthermore, nMPN, qPCR, and phagocytic activity were performed. There were no significant differences in seroprevalence between groups. The mMPN count of Salmonella spp. in feces was higher in vaccinated group (VG), ranging from 0 to 2.46 log mMPN/g, while in control group (CG) it ranged from 0.0 to 4 log mMPN/g, showing a significant group effect (p<0.05), being confirmed in the qPCR. The activity of phagocytic monocytes was not altered by vaccination on farms.
