Species identification in dairy products has a notable importance food traceability and adulteration control consequently significant effect on the final economic value of foods. In present study, we developed method based real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) for detection quantification cow DNA samples from milk buffaloes, goats, sheep. The qPCR reactions showed high specificity, amplifications only occurred to species-specific primers. calibration curves allowed amount each primer,...
This study evaluated the resistance of cattle different genetic groups to tick Rhipicephalus microplus and relationship with traits animals' hair coat. Cows Senepol×Nelore (SN), Angus×Nelore (AN) Nelore (NX) were submitted four consecutive artificial infestations, at 14-day intervals, each one approximately 20,000 larvae placed on lumbar region. From 19th 23rd day infestation five counts number ticks performed animal's left body side. The count data (TTC) transformed into log(10) (n+1), also...
The effect of four extracts from neem seeds (Azadirachta indica) containing 2000, 5000, 9000 and 10,000 ppm azadirachtin A (AZA), quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) diluted to 1.25%; 2.5%; 5.0%; 10.0% 12.8% was verified in vitro tests with engorged females larvae the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus. results bioassays showed that main toxic reduction reproductive parameters, a sharp drop number eggs laid hatching rate, mainly when were 12.8%. product effectiveness...
Resistance to natural infection by gastrointestinal nematodes was compared in 67 female calves of the following genetic groups: Nelore (NX); 1/2 Senepol+1/2 (SN); and Aberdeen Angus+1/2 (AN). The NX (n=26), SN (n=23) AN (n=18) animals were monitored for 14 months, during which they remained without treatment, allowed graze a tropical environment. Eggs per gram feces (EPG), coprocultures packed cell volume (PCV) carried out monthly. No significant effects interaction between groups month/year...
The study assessed the acaricidal properties of 20 compounds derived from essential oils against Rhipicephalus microplus tick, a significant menace to tropical livestock with considerable economic losses. A novel methodology was devised, involving determination mortality times for R. larvae upon direct contact these compounds. Mortality were compared negative control (soybean oil) and two positive controls (commercial pour-on products). Tests conducted in 48-well polyethylene plates, around...
