Compêndio: produção acadêmica Zootecnia CCA/UESPI/2021: Trabalhos de Conclusão de Curso de Bacharelado em Zootecnia produzidos na modalidade artigo científico

Abstract

This compendium brings together Final Course Papers developed by students of the UESPI Animal Science course, presented in 2021, which highlight the diversity of research lines addressed in the field of animal production. The first study evaluated the parameters of in vitro production of bovine embryos in the Xinguara region, in the state of Pará, contributing with data for assisted reproduction in cattle farming. Another study investigated the effect of treatment with low-pressure argon plasma on the germination of Mimosa caesalpiniifolia seeds, a plant of agroecological interest. In the field of morphometry and animal genetics, a study analyzed the correlations between allometric and mass measurements in Curraleiro Pé-Duro cattle, providing useful information for genetic improvement programs. In the area of ​​health, a study discussed the influence of milking protocols on the incidence of bovine mastitis, with a view to improving the health of the dairy herd. In addition, papers were presented on the effect of dry and rainy seasons on the behavior and production of dairy cows, demonstrating the importance of the environment in zootechnical performance, and an economic evaluation of the use of raw bean residue in the feeding of confined sheep, aiming at viable alternatives for animal nutrition. The papers reveal the solid technical and scientific training of the students, with a focus on regional demands and sustainable practices.
