“…Red meat is included in the diet of Brazilians, being a food highly sought after by the population [ 1 – 3 ], thus, it is necessary to inspect the meat efficiently in refrigerated slaughterhouses. Some animals can be carriers of zoonotic diseases, which can cause public health problems and generate economical losses in slaughterhouses, due to the condemnation of carcasses [ 4 – 7 ].…”

Perspectives of economic losses due to condemnation of cattle and buffalo carcasses in the northern region of Brazil

et al. 2023

The work aims to study the economical losses of the condemnation of bovine and buffalo carcasses, in order to estimate the losses in animals slaughtered in Santarém-Pará, Brazil, between 2016 and 2018, with data obtained from the Municipal Department of Agriculture and Fisheries. Sex, age, origin, total number of animals slaughtered and causes of condemnation of carcasses were considered. All analyzes were performed in RStudio version 1.1.463. In this study, 71,277 bovine carcasses and 2,016 buffalo carcasses were inspected, of which 300 bovine and 71 buffalo were condemned. The highest prevalence of causes of condemnation in cattle was recorded for brucellosis (0.0020%) and tuberculosis (0.0019%). In buffaloes, tuberculosis (0.0307%) peritonitis (0,0019%) were the main causes of condemnations. Economical losses were more evident in females, for both species. The projection of economical losses related to the condemnation of carcasses showed a sharp growth for the next three years, if the average growth remains constant. The biggest projected loss was for bovine females, with an accumulated projection of $ 5,451.44. The smallest estimated loss was for buffalo males, projected at more than thirty-two thousand reais. The most important causes of condemnation report the diseases brucellosis and tuberculosis, as the ones with the greatest impact. In the buffalo species this was even more accentuated, even though the number of buffaloes slaughtered is more than 35 times smaller than the number of cattle.

“…Throughout history, animals have been domesticated to meet the needs of humans, such as eating good quality meat ( 1 – 3 ). As a result of this approach, the behavior and lifestyle of these animals have also gone through changes, making it necessary to seek better strategies in order to increase production and productivity, taking into account their adaptations to environmental variables and appropriate management techniques.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the behavior and thermal comfort of 20 Girolando cows (5/8-H/G), with light and dark coats, in the wettest period of the year, in Santarém, Pará, Brazil, in pasture with access to shade, and plenty of drinking water and mineral salt. Animal behavior categories were computed for 12 h a day, on 3 days in a row, by trained observers. Three day shifts were considered: Morning (6:00 a.m. to 9:55 a.m.), Intermediate (10:00 a.m. to 01:55 p.m.) and Afternoon (2:00 p.m. to 05:55 p.m.). The Temperature Index (TI), the Black Globe Humidity Index (BGHI) and the Comfort Index (CI) were calculated to measure thermal comfort. At all times studied, BGHI pointed that the environment was outside the thermal comfort zone. Dark-coated animals spent more 34.26% of the time in activities in the shade. The light-coated animals remained more 11.88% of the time in the sun, performing their natural behaviors. Both light and dark coat animals remained more 77 and 74.44% of the time in the sun, respectively. The behavior “in the sun while grazing” was the most evident, in both coats, in the studied shifts. The behaviors “in the shade while walking” and “in the shade while standing idle” were more evident (p < 0.01) in dark-coated cattle. The grazing behavior was higher in animals with dark coat (p < 0.05). In all evaluated shifts, there was a positive correlation between the behavior “in the sun while grazing” with the CI (r = 0.44211; p < 0.0305). Behaviors performed in the shade, such as “idleness while lying down,” “ruminating while lying down and standing up,” and behaviors “in the sun,” “idleness while lying down” and “ruminating while lying down,” were negatively correlated with CI. It is concluded that, even in the wettest period of the year, in the Eastern Amazon, Girolando dairy cows are exposed to hot environments, which causes thermal discomfort and changes in their natural behavior, as they spend more time standing in shaded areas, usually in rumination. Also, light-coated cows spend more time in the sun, while dark-coated cows spend more time in the shade. Thus, light-coated cows tend to have health and zootechnical performance negatively affected.

“…The Brazilian territory is one of the largest beef producers in the world and, as a result of the increase in demand for beef cattle production, mainly due to greater consumer demand (Silva et al, 2020;Abreu et al, 2021;Silva et al, 2021) and the import and export of raw materials, resulting in the need to produce more without necessarily having a territorial expansion, associated with measures to protect the Brazilian Amazon region, which is important for the growth of national livestock (DIAS -SON, 2015).…”

por se sentirem em muitos casos culpados pelo abuso sofrido. A manutenção do segredo tem a função de manter o equilíbrio familiar (FLORENTINO, 2015; p.18). A não revelação muitas vezes advém de ameaças dos ofensores, gerando medo nas vítimas de sofrerem possíveis censuras, serem desacreditadas, medo da rejeição e das possíveis perdas dos vínculos familiares e sentimentos ambivalentes em relação ao autor do abuso.Efeitos emocionais severos são evidenciados quando a vítima é culpabilizada pelos pais e familiares, pelos fatos ocorridos (FURNISS,1993). Esses fatores contribuem para a perpetuação do abuso, vinculados em dinâmicas familiares abusivas, podendo ocasionar o que a literatura chama de multigeracionalidade, que é a continuação do abuso por meio de ciclos entre gerações, mudando apenas papeis e personagens (SANTOS E DELL' AGLIO, 2009). A importância do rompimento do silêncio por parte da vítima está na possibilidade da quebra do ciclo do abuso, interrompendo novos episódios de violação sexual. A vítima precisa sentir-se minimamente ampara, protegida, acolhida em sua dor física e emocional, pois, é a partir da revelação que se tornam possíveis a assistência psicossocial e legal as vítimas e familiares, e a prevenção da vitimização de outras crianças (BAÍA et al., 2013, p.18).Com relação à vítima, pode-se afirmar que o silenciamento diante de uma situação que lhe viola, oprime, envergonha e, muitas vezes, desumaniza, constitui uma reação natural à situação vivenciada, posto tratar-se de um "cidadão em condições especiais de desenvolvimento", submetido a uma relação assimétrica de poder (física e/ou psicológica) que, muitas vezes, se estende para além do controle e domínio da vítima propriamente dita (CUNHA; SILVA; GIOVANETTI, 2008, p. 283).Nota-se também que um dos motivos que levam a vítima (adolescente ou adulto), em manter o sigilo é a falta de credibilidade na justiça, pois, na grande maioria dos casos não se cumprem a lei, e a vítima se sente insegura, desprotegida e desamparada, o que acaba interferindo na sua decisão de seguir silenciadas. Esse fato pode levar a vítima a preferir guardar o segredo por muito tempo, quanto mais tardia é a revelação, maiores podem ser os danos psicossociais, ocasionando em consequências severas, drásticas, nocivas as vítimas, decorrente de um silêncio imposto e auto imposto na época do abuso, que podem resultar em impactos graves na vida adulta da vítima. Observa-se que o pacto de silêncio que se estabelece nos casos de abuso sexual contra crianças é um entrave para que este seja impedido e os agressores punidos. A falta de punição e a recorrência do ato sexual violento podem, muitas vezes, levar a criança à morte ou deixar graves sequelas físicas e psíquicas (ROMERO; CAPITÃO, 2007, P. 171). Problemas tanto internalizantes como externalizates, segundo Paolucci e colaboradores (2001) podem surgir, dentre as quais, problemas de conduta, agressividade, comportamento sexual inapropriado, Belém 11 O objetivo da psicoterapia em Gestalt-terapia é fazer com que o cliente tenha cond...
