Three poultry farms (A, B and C) of Cobb breeder broilers were blood monitored at 30, 45, and 60 weeks of age to assess the level and persistence of sera antibodies against chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) under two vaccination strategies. Hens in farm A were vaccinated via drinking water and hens in farm B via intramuscular (IM) during the rearing period, whereas farm C was only exposed to a field virus. Progeny´s sera was evaluated at one day old to determine antibodies level and percent of transference. Serum samples were analyzed by a commercial ELISA test. A total seroconversion was detected in farms A and B at the age of 30 weeks while 10.5% of layers in farm C were negative. All hens in the three farms seroconverterd at 45 and 60 weeks old, but antibody titers decreased at the age of 60 weeks. The passive transference of antibodies to the progeny was much lower in farm A as...

El presente estudio se llevó a cabo en tres granjas de reproductoras de carne de la línea Cobb para determinar el nivel y persistencia de anticuerpos al virus de la Anemia Infecciosa Aviar (CIAV) en aves que fueron fueron vacunadas en la etapa de levante. Las aves de una granja (G1) se vacunaron vía oral y las aves de otra granja (G2), por vía intramuscular. Las aves de la tercera granja (G3) no fueron vacunadas pero estuvieron expuestas al virus de campo como todas. Las aves se muestrearon a los 30, 45 y 60 semanas de edad. Además, se evaluó el nivel y porcentaje de transferencia de anticuerpos a la progenie de estos lotes de reproductoras al día de edad. Las muestras fueron procesadas en forma conjunta con la prueba de ELISA para CIAV de los Laboratorios IDEXX. Se detectó una seroconversión total en las granjas vacunadas A y B a las 30 semanas, mientras la granja no vacunada t...

The valorization and use of lignocellulosic biomass from food processing to obtain value-added products is crucial to improve sustainability and reduce waste management costs. This potential for cost reduction is a reason for optimism, as it allows agro-industrial waste to be transformed into valuable resources, contributing to the circular economy. This study focused on the compositional and structural characterization of eleven types of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) to evaluate their potential in producing nanopolysaccharides and polyhydroxyalkanoates. Parameters such as humidity, ash, proteins, extractives, structural carbohydrates, and lignin were analyzed in passion fruit peels, artichoke bracts, asparagus peels, lemon peels, orange peels, avocado seed, potato peels, cassava peels, sugar cane bagasse, rice husk, and rice straw. The results showed that fruit peels and other waste had...
