Abstract Slaughter condemnations are important sources of information on cattle health. The incidence of bovine parasitic diseases is still very high in Brazil. These diseases, in addition to causing harm to the animals health, are neglected zoonotic diseases in several parts of world. The study analysed not only the Carcass losses, but also the economic damage resulting from slaughter condemnations due to parasitic causes. Cattle slaughter data from the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA), over the period of 2012 to 2015 and data from the Secretary of Livestock and Irrigation of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (SEAPI-RS) were analyzed between 2014 and 2018.The number of organs and carcasses condemned was multiplied by the respective values (in Brazilian Real) obtained from slaughterhouses and subsequently converted into dollars. Brazilian analysis in SIF (Federal Inspection System) establishments showed that more than 1.2 million organs (3,884,505 kg) and 20,000 carcasses (4,547,718 kg) were condemned only due to parasitic causes during post-mortem inspection. In Rio Grande do Sul, in state inspection establishments, more than 1.7 million organs (8,210,559 kg) and 5,000 carcasses (1,243,200 kg) were condemned. These data are alarming and support the need for public policies to control these parasitic diseases.

Entre as doenças parasitárias nos ovinos, hidatidose, cisticercose, fasciolose e sarcosporidiose são responsáveis por prejuízos econômicos decorrente da condenação de vísceras e carcaças ao abate, além da diminuição na produtividade. O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a prevalência destas enfermidades no Rio Grande do Sul, em ovinos abatidos em estabelecimentos com inspeção federal. Utilizou-se a Relação de Doenças ao Abate por Município, do Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento, referente ao período de 2005 a 2009. Embora tenha se evidenciado uma tendência à redução na prevalência de hidatiose, cisticercose e fasciolose, esta não foi significativa no período de observação e considerou-se a totalidade dos dados no período, sendo determinada a prevalência anual média de hidatidose (12,30%), faciolose (1,72%), cistecercose (1,37%) e sarcosporidiose (0,58%) no Estado. Hidatidose e outras parasitoses são classificadas mundialmente como endemia negligenciada e, embora o Estado tenha instituído uma política para controle destas enfermidades com foco na saúde humana, ainda serão necessárias décadas para que as metas sejam alcançadas, como foi o caso da Argentina.

Slaughter condemnations are important sources of information on cattle health and handling. The aim of this study was to evaluate the main causes of condemnation of cattle slaughter under the state sanitary inspection by the Diretoria de Inspeção de Produtos de Origem Agropecuária (DIPA) of Agência de Defesa Agropecuária da Bahia (ADAB), in Bahia, Brazil. A retrospective data of all cattle slaughtered from 2012 to 2019 was obtained from DIPA – ADAB. During this period, 4,635,615 cattle were slaughtered and 1,452,472 (31.33%) condemnations were registered to have occurred at varying levels in all regions of the state. The more condemned organs were kidneys and lungs; and the main causes of condemnation were nephritis (11.79%), congestion (11.20%), emphysema (10.72%), blood aspiration (8.36%), renal cysts (5.75%), and abscesses (5.71%). However, other condemnation causes such as cysticercosis, fasciolosis, and tuberculosis were observed at lower rates. Results showed that the main causes of condemnation of cattle slaughter were not related to zoonotic diseases instead were more involved in partial condemnation of organs.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a adequação do uso do sensor AVHRR/NOAA (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) para mapeamento da temperatura da superfície terrestre (TST) no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, por meio da comparação entre três algoritmos clássicos. Foram comparados os métodos de Becker & Li, Sobrino et al. e Kerr et al. para estimativa das TST mínimas, utilizando imagens noturnas e logo após o amanhecer. Os dados de emissividade e TST foram obtidos por meio de combinações matemáticas da radiação detectada nas faixas do visível, infravermelho próximo e termal do sensor AVHRR/NOAA. O sensor AVHRR é adequado para o mapeamento de TST para as condições do tipo de cobertura do solo que predominam no Rio Grande do Sul, visto que a TST estimada pelos três métodos testados foi próxima à temperatura do ar medida nos locais selecionados. O método de Sobrino et al. foi o mais adequado.

<p>Atualmente,<strong> </strong>o uso de águas subterrâneas para fins de irrigação tem se tornado uma constante em muitas bacias hidrográficas brasileiras. Contudo, a utilização de águas com alto teor de sódio pode trazer uma série de prejuízos para os solos agrícolas, especialmente aos mais argilosos e com drenagem deficiente. A pesquisa objetivou avaliar o risco de sodificação dos solos da microbacia hidrográfica do Lajeado Erval Novo com a introdução de águas subterrâneas para atividades de irrigação. Para tanto, aplicou-se um modelo quali-quantitativo para cruzar informações das concentrações salinas da água subterrânea de 14 poços tubulares localizados na região com características geomorfológicas da microbacia. Para avaliação do teor de sódio das águas subterrâneas utilizou-se o índice de Relação de Adsorção de Sódio (RAS) como indicador da porcentagem de sódio contido em água que pode ser adsorvido pelo solo. Esse indicador aliado ao mapeamento em Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG) das características de declividade e tipo de solo forneceram um diagnóstico do risco de salinização do solo em diferentes partes da microbacia. Como resultado, evidenciou-se o elevado risco de sodificação na porção sul da microbacia ao utilizar águas para irrigação classificadas com índice RAS alto (&gt;18) e muito alto (&gt;26). Estudos desta natureza visam contribuir para o levantamento de informações de interesse para a realização de práticas mais sustentáveis na agricultura, objetivando o uso dos recursos hídricos na região, servindo de contribuição para as políticas públicas do setor.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p align="center"><strong><em>Sodification risk mapping of soils in micro watershed in Rio Grande do Sul</em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>Currently, the use of groundwater for irrigation purposes has become a constant in many brazilian watershed. However, the use of water with high sodium content can bring a lot of damage to agricultural soils, especially the clay soils and with poor drainage. The research aimed to evaluate the sodification risk of Lajeado Erval Novo watershed with the introduction of groundwater for irrigation activities. Therefore, was applied a quali-quantitative model to crosscheck the salts concentration information of groundwater from 14 wells located in the region with geomorphological characteristics of the basin. To evaluate the sodium content of groundwater was used the Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) index as an indicator of the percentage of sodium content in water which can be adsorbed by soil. These indicators combined with mapping Geographic Information System (GIS) of slope characteristics and soil type provided an assessment of the risk of soil salinization in different parts of the basin. As a result, it was evidenced the high risk sodification in southern portion using water for irrigation classified with high SAR index (&gt;18) and very high (&gt;26). Studies of this nature aim to contribute to collection information of interest to achievement of more sustainable practices in agriculture, aiming the strategic use of water resources in the region, serving as a contribution to public sector policies.</p><p> </p>

ABSTRACT: Necropsy protocols of the “Laboratório Regional de Diagnóstico” of “Faculdade de Veterinária” of the “Universidade Federal de Pelotas” were reviewed, ranging the period from 2000 to 2018. Three hundred eighty one necropsies, 25 refrigerated and/or formaline fixed organs, and seven biopsies were received, representing 413 samples. Most of these materials were sent by the “Núcleo de Reabilitação da Fauna Silvestre” of “Universidade Federal de Pelotas” (NURFS-CETAS-UFPel) and were from municipalities within the range area of LRD-UFPel influence. Of the 413 cases 55 (13.31%) corresponded to metabolic/nutritional diseases; 50 (12.10%) to trauma; 35 (8.47%) to bacterial diseases/toxi-infections; 30 (7.26%) to parasitic diseases; 28 (6.77%) to fungal diseases; four (0.97%) to viral diseases and 17 (4.11%) to other diseases. Cases where it was not possible to determine the etiology, were in severe autolysis or were inconclusive totaled 194 (46.97%). Metabolic/nutritional diseases and traumatic injuries were the main cause of death in wild birds’, being Passeriformes the most affected order.

This research aims to verify the municipalities where it might be interesting to invest in a local beef production in the State of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), southern Brazil. The data analyzed combine the cattle units slaughtered and the estimated beef consumption in each municipality. These indicators were used to identify the capacity of each location to meet the local beef demand. This data were associated to the map of RS by the Quantum GIS 1.8 Lisboa software. The most prominent regions were located at the western frontier, at the southeast Campanha, and at the northeast mountain region of the State. The cattle units slaughtered produced at the municipalities of Aceguá, Pedras Altas, Machadinho, São Valentim, Quatro Irmãos and Sagrada Família is very high, surpassing the municipality’s capacity to absorb it. On the other hand, many municipalities have sufficient productions or little surplus to attend the local beef demand, such as Alegrete, in which a local beef production might benefit a higher number of small producers, but other municipalities also seem to have potential for assisting familiar farmers with this strategy such as Dom Pedrito, Bagé, Santa Maria and Pelotas.

Parasitic diseases in cattle represent a worldwide health problem, with emphasis on toxocariosis involved in animal mortality in the first weeks of life. The purpose of this report is to record the prevalence of Toxocara eggs (Neoascaris) in the feces of cattle in RS. Fecal samples were processed using the Willis-Mollay method. In the present study, it was observed that 41.36% (67/162) of fecal samples from cattle (162) had Toxocara (Neoascaris) vitulorum eggs, with 49.25% of calves and 50.75% of cows being positive. The high degree of infection demonstrates that there is a lack of knowledge of parasitosis on the part of producers, requiring further studies in livestock.

ABSTRACT: The increase in the commercialization of sheep products requires an equivalent improvement in flock health and rapid disease identification. Data regarding the cause of death in sheep were reviewed from the database of the “Setor de Patologia Veterinária” from the “Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul”, from January 2004 and December 2019. Epidemiological features, such as breed, sex, and age, in addition to the clinical and pathological features, were analyzed. During this period, tissues from 523 sheep were evaluated, in which a conclusive diagnosis was obtained in 457 (87%) of the cases. The majority of sheep were from the metropolitan mesoregion of Porto Alegre. The most common breed was Texel 171/523 (33%). From all the conclusive diagnoses, 158/457 (35%) corresponded to infectious non-parasitic diseases, 117/457 (26%) were caused by toxic etiology, 95/457 (21%) were infectious parasitic diseases, 42/457 (9%) were included in the nutritional and metabolic category, 38/457 (8%) were in the “others” category, and 7/457 (1.5%) were congenital defects. The age of sheep included in this study ranged from 1 day to 7 years. Among cases with conclusive diagnosis, the main cause of death was haemonchosis with 83/457 (18%) of cases, followed by pneumonia 29/457 (6%), Baccharis sp. poisoning 25/457 (5%), and bluetongue 22/457 (5%).

The authors focus on land ownership distribution of Santa Maria municipality, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, under two aspects: possession and dimension. At first instance, the authors observe the number of rural properties considering intervals of 15 years. Activity and property size are analyzed noting primarily the significant increase in the number of properties with less than 100 ha and the causes of land pulverization, while at the same time the authors search for a cause to explain property division in a general way amongst any of the dimensional groups. Secondly, the level of concentration of land ownership is made by using the Gini Coefficient. The high to very high concentration found, lacks significance, considering the analysis of the district's landscape. Consequently it is obvious that considering the physical conditions at the present stage of regional development, the concentration can be much more important than the unestimulating pulverization which is alds a cause of rural exodus.

Uma avaliação inicial das condições do desenvolvimento da safra nacional, enquanto as plantas ainda estão nos campos, é altamente necessária para o cálculo correto das projeções na tomada de decisão e políticas relacionadas com o planejamento governamental e segurança alimentar. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a adequação dos dados NOAA/AVHRR (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration / Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) em detectar mudanças nas condições da vegetação, devidas à ocorrência de estresse hídrico, na soja, por meio de uma combinação do índice NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) e da LST (Land Surface Temperature). Os dados LST e NDVI foram combinados e comparados pixel a pixel, sobre uma área de cultivo de soja, no Rio Grande do Sul. A relação teórica inversa prevista na combinação de LST e NDVI foi detectada. Foi observado que ocorre um aumento médio na LST em uma safra de ciclo normal (de 301,02 K para 308,36 K), quando comparada a uma safra sob condição de estresse hídrico, no desenvolvimento da cultura. Uma redução média do NDVI foi observada no ciclo normal (de 0,65 para 0,53), comparada com uma safra sob efeitos ocasionados pela estiagem no desenvolvimento da cultura. Foi observado maior correlação da produtividade municipal com LST (R2=0,78) do que com o NDVI (R2 = 0,59). Os resultados obtidos indicam que a integração de imagens do sensor AVHRR, proveniente de diferentes instituições, proporciona a adequada combinação espacial e temporal dos dados LST e NDVI, a fim de detectar a ocorrência de estresse hídrico, bem como sua intensidade, caracterizando as condições do ciclo de desenvolvimento da soja.
