Abstract

This compendium brings together the Final Course Works presented by Animal Science students at the State University of Piauí (UESPI) in the 2023.1 semester, highlighting the thematic diversity, technical-scientific depth, and commitment to the regional productive reality. The study on the ingestive behavior of Dorper sheep grazing at different physiological stages addressed the dietary needs according to the animals' reproductive phase, contributing to adjustments in nutritional management. The research entitled Economic viability of finishing cattle on a high-grain diet in the Mid-North region: case study presented a practical analysis of the costs and benefits of using intensive diets, with direct applicability in regional livestock farming. In the field of poultry farming, two studies were developed with free-range Canela-Preta chickens: correlation of egg weight with chick weight at birth of free-range Canela-Preta chickens, which evaluated the relationship between physical characteristics of eggs and the initial performance of chicks, and phenotypic pattern of males, females, chicks and eggs of free-range Canela-Preta birds, with emphasis on morphological characterization as a strategy for the conservation and valorization of this native breed. Finally, the study Pollen types used by stingless bees in Piauí: literature review provided a comprehensive view of the interaction between these bees and the local flora, highlighting their ecological role and the importance of environmental preservation. These studies reinforce the course's commitment to applied research, sustainability and valorization of zoogenetic and environmental resources in the state of Piauí.
