The experiment was conducted at Instituto Federal Goiano – Campus Ceres, using cut, chopped plants ensiled with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 40% cornmeal in 14 L experimental silos, stored for 6 months. After opening, losses by gases and effluents, silage density, fermentative profile (pH, solu-ble carbohydrates, organic acids, ammoniacal nitrogen), chemical composition (dry matter, crude protein, fiber, starch, total digestible nutrients), and animal performance estimates were evaluated. Data were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA), and means were compared by Tukey’s test at 5% significance level using R statistical software. Increasing cornmeal inclusion caused a linear increase in dry matter content from 17.94% in the control (0%) to 35.76% in the 40% cornmeal treatment. Total loss-es (effluents + gases) decreased from 75.55 to 11.11 kg/m³ in the 0% and 40% corn-meal treatments, respectively. Fermentative parameters also improved with inclusion, showing a reduction in pH, increased lactic acid and soluble carbohydrate contents, and decreased butyric acid and ammoniacal nitrogen, indicating lower protein degra-dation. Bromatological composition was also enhanced, with increased crude protein (from 6.77% to 9.58%), digestible protein, ether extract, starch, and non-fibrous carbo-hydrates, along with reductions in neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and lignin contents. The higher energy supply reflected in greater total digesti-ble nutrients (from 36.95% to 74.02%) and estimated average daily gain (from -0.09 to 1.32 kg/animal unit/day). It is concluded that adding cornmeal to BRS Capiaçu silage improves preservation and nutritional value, making it more suitable for animals with higher nutritional requirements. Levels up to 40% provided the best responses, alt-hough economic feasibility should be considered before practical adoption of the technique.

This study aimed to investigate the best care and management practices for horses in equine-assisted therapy, ensuring the animals' well-being and the therapy's effectiveness. Through a qualitative bibliographic research approach, studies and scientific publications were analyzed, focusing on key aspects such as training, desensitization, nutritional and sanitary management, and appropriate environmental practices. The findings highlighted that training and desensitization of the horses foster harmonious interactions during therapy sessions, reducing patient anxiety and enhancing motor skills. Furthermore, balanced diets, rigorous hygiene, and environmental enrichment significantly contribute to the health and well-being of the horses, improving their readiness and performance in therapeutic activities. It is concluded that the proper management of horses is essential for the safety and effectiveness of equine-assisted therapy, reaffirming the importance of an interdisciplinary approach and specialized veterinary oversight. These practices offer mutual benefits to both horses and participants, solidifying equine-assisted therapy as a valuable strategy in biopsychosocial rehabilitation.

Milk quality is na essential element in this context, as it directly influences food safety, industrial performance, shelf life of dairy products, and farmers’ income. This quality is determined by physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics, with Total Bacterial Count (TBC) and Somatic Cell Count (SCC) standing out as important indicators used in its evaluation. Animal-related factors, such as age, parity, stage of lactation, and the occurrence of clinical or subclinical mastitis, directly influence SCC levels, which is widely used to assess mammary gland health and milk quality. In addition, milk production level may also impact quality indicators, since variations in productivity are associated with physiological and metabolic changes that affect milk composition and microbiological characteristics. Furthermore, seasonal variations significantly influence these indicators, as climatic changes such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall patterns may favor increased bacterial load and mastitis incidence, directly affecting milk quality. This study aimed to analyze the main influences of seasonal variations and production level on TBC and SCC values in milk production through a literature review. The analyzed studies indicate that climatic factors, production level, sanitary management, and storage conditions are directly related to the increase in microbiological indicators Editor: Instituto Federal Goiano Tipo: Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.ifgoiano.edu.br/handle/prefix/6546 2026-04-10T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ifgoiano.edu.br/handle/prefix/6530 Título: DIETA DE GRÃO INTEIRO PARA BOVINOS DE CORTE: UMA REVISÃO Autor(es): Silva, Luzileide Rodrigues Primeiro Orientador: Ribeiro, Jeferson Corrêa Primeiro Membro da Banca: Santos, Wallacy Barbacena Rosa Segundo Membro da Banca: Biachini, Eliandra Oliveira Abstract: Beef cattle farming is of great economic and nutritional importance in Brazil, particularly for the production and export of beef. The sector's performance is directly related to productive efficiency, the adoption of intensive systems, and the proper use of animal nutrition. Given this, the general objective of this study is to analyze the nutritional, physiological, productive, and economic implications of using whole grain diets in finishing beef cattle. This work is characterized as an exploratory and descriptive literature review. Therefore, it is concluded that whole grain diets can be considered a viable and efficient alternative for finishing beef cattle when applied technically and in a balanced way. The integration of adequate nutrition, feed management, rumen health, animal welfare, and economic analysis is essential to guarantee positive results.
