The objective of this work was to characterize technified cow-calf systems farms. Descriptive statistics and multivariate analyzes were performed at a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. Stocking rate (cows ha -1 ), weaning rate (%) and beef production (kg LW ha -1 year -1 ) of the surveyed farms were 15, 38 and 84% higher, respectively, compared with typical systems of the region. The higher area with cultivated species was positively correlated with pregnancy rate (p = 0.0269) and weaning rate (p = 0.0051). Supplementation level of cows (p = 0.0259) was positively associated with stocking rate (cows ha -1 ). Furthermore, stocking rate (cows ha -1 ) correlated positively with higher calf production (kg LW ha -1 year -1 ; p < 0.0001) and total beef production (kg LW ha -1 year - 1 ; p < 0.0001). Technified farms showed a better productive performance compared to that of typical cow-calf systems in the region studied.","PeriodicalId":42485,"journal":{"name":"Chilean Journal of Agricultural & Animal Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45609012","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}

The objective of this study was to determine the milk quality of the first Normande cowherd in the Nuble Region (Chile) compared with that of Holstein Friesian cows, and to developdairy products. The study was carried out with Normande (N) and Holstein Friesian (HF) cows in thefirst lactation. Milk quality parameters included titratable acidity, pH, density, fat content, and milkcomposition; whereas product development included production of Chanco cheese and mozzarellasticks. Chanco cheese was made from N and HF milk, and yield and composition were determined.Mozzarella sticks were made using N milk and two different salting processes (pre-salting andbrining); color, texture, melting capacity, proximal analysis, and sensory analysis were compared.Fat and protein content of HF cow’s milk was 3.35% and 2.87%, while values for the N were 3.35%,and 3.16%, respectively. Since there were no differences in fat content between breeds (P > 0.05),Chanco cheese yield was similar despite the fact that protein content of N milk was higher (P ? 0.05).Mozzarella sticks with a salting step at the end (brine at 25%) had greater firmness, melting capacityand acceptance (P ? 0.05). In conclusion, milk from N and HF breeds has different protein and lactosecontent but similar technological performance for the production of Chanco cheese. It is possible toproduce mozzarella cheese sticks using milk from Normande cows and to recommend raising thisdual-purpose breed in this Region.","PeriodicalId":42485,"journal":{"name":"Chilean Journal of Agricultural & Animal Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44478067","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}

Ants were collected by hand and pitfall traps in the Spring and Summer season of 2016, 2017 and 2018, in apiaries found at three different localities of Valles Templados: Río Blanco, Tilquiza and Severino. Pitfall trapping resulted in 824 specimens belonging to 10 species in Severino, 208 individuals of 9 species in Tilquiza, and 289 individuals of 2 species in Río Blanco. The most common ant species found were: Pheidole sp. (56.07%), Linepithema humile (94.81%), and Solenopsis sp. (56.73%) in Severino, Rio Blanco and Tilquiza, respectively. The hand collection of ants yielded 248 individuals of 7 species collected in Severino, 35 individuals of 3 species in Tilquiza, and 294 individuals of 2 species in Río Blanco. The most common species was Linepithema humile 67.3%. The abundance figures showed significant differences among sampling sites. Several species collected by hand were the same as those collected with pitfall traps at the three localities.

The native strains of Bt were isolated from soil samples from different cotton areas of the Piura, Perú. 600 colonies of the genus Bacillus were obtained, of which 37 native strains presented morphological characteristics similar to the standard strains of Bt (HD1 and NA118). The morphological and biochemical characterization showed that 15 strains showed parasporal crystal of bipyramidal form of toxic action against Lepidoptera, exhibiting biochemical characteristics equal to the standard strains of Bt. The toxic effect of these 15 native strains was evaluated through a food poisoned test using lettuce and cotton leaf discs. The results showed that strains IN-24, IN-30 and IN-34 caused 100% mortality in S. frugiperda; strains IN-19, IN-24 and IN-25 caused 100% mortality in A. argillacea; while strain IN-24 caused 100% mortality in both species. The artificial diet test showed that strains IN-34, IN-01 and IN-31 caused the highest mortality rates in S. frugiperda and A. argillacea, respectively, when compared with the standard strains HD1 and NA118.

The experiment was carried out at the San Pedro farm located in the municipality of Cota, Cundinamarca Department, Colombia. Sixteen experimental paddocks were used, composed of 30% L. perenne and 70% C. clandestinus; 25 samples per paddock were taken on a daily basis throughout the experimental period. A linear regression analysis was performed for compressed height (CH) and AHM expressed in kg DM ha-1. The resulting equation for the RPM calibration showed a high level of precision and indicated that AHM (kg ha-1) is highly dependent on CH.

However, the cpci-sc method was the only one that had relatively better DNA quality, which allowed the amplification of molecular markers. Regarding chañar flour, the CPCI-SC method showed the highest yield, DNA quality and good amplification with molecular markers.
