The objective will be to modernize and adapt the bioterium of the Laboratories of Animal Nutrition (LANA) and Ecotoxicology from of the Center for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture (CENA)/USP Piracicaba, licensed by the National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN) to use radioisotopes in order to meet the principles of the 3Rs. At CONCEA, it is called "Animal Installation of the Animal Nutrition…
It is intended to evaluate the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract in sheep supplemented with a zinc oxide nanoparticle (NP-Zn) as a functional food. In the digestive system of ruminants there is an intimate and complex relationship between the animal and the ruminal microbiota and the other compartments. Through the taxonomic diversity and function of the microbiota, he hoped to adv…
In this project the validity of zinc oxide nanoparticle (Zn-NP) supplementation in ruminant as a functional feed will be investigated, integrating different areas of knowledge (inter and multidisciplinary) such as chemistry, microbiology and animal sciences (nutrology , parasitology, genetics, reproduction and immunology) using advances of the "Omics" era. In an inedited and innovative w…
The hypothesis of this trial is to verify if there are differences associated with system and agro ecological zone in terms of the prevalence of AMR. Dietary and management interventions (such as tannins) might alter the microbiome of the host animal to alter its level of AMR. To test this, we would sample faeces from beef animals of different ages from a range of different systems and ag…
In Brazil, the meat production from sheep does not attend to domestic market, demand, it is required importation of this type of food. In this case the sheep production represent is a good opportunity in brazilian agribusiness. The herd nutrition, as well as, reproduction are key points for development of this sector. Measures aimed at reducing production costs are welcome. The availabili…

The gastrointestinal microbiota plays an essential role in the health and development of ruminants, and changes in its composition can significantly impact the performance and well-being of these animals. Recent studies have shown that parasitic infections, such as those caused by Haemonchus contortus, are not only one of the main health challenges in sheep farming but can also alter the …
Zinc (Zn) particles are involved in many reactions of animal cellular metabolism, including physiological processes such as immune function, growth, and organism development. The lack of availability of this mineral in the body can lead to alterations in immune system cells, which are responsible for ensuring the body's defense, present in the blood of animals. This occurs because the…
Zinc (Zn) is an essential micromineral for animal metabolism, playing a key role in the immune system, antioxidant defense, and development. Its deficiency in ruminants may cause growth retardation and increased susceptibility to infections, making daily supplementation necessary. Traditionally supplied as inorganic salts (ZnO and ZnSO¿), Zn in the form of nanoparticles (ZnO-N) has gained…
Objetiva-se com esta proposta a determinação do tamanho da NP-Zn absorvida por ovinos suplementados com zinco e nas células CACO-2 cultivadas in vitro, através da avaliação em amostras obtidas dos experimentos que estão sendo realizados pela equipe do projeto em tela e nas células Caco2 cultivadas in vitro no Laboratório de Cultivo de Células do Departamento de Agroindústria, Alimentos e …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace mineral for animals, playing various important physiological roles. Since animals do not have any specific tissue or organ to store it, it is necessary to include zinc in their daily diet. Zinc contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system, has antioxidant properties, and supports growth and reproduction, among other functions. In sheep and oth…
The gastrointestinal microbiota plays a key role in ruminant health and productivity, contributing to digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune regulation. In sheep, factors such as diet, genetics, and parasitic infections can significantly influence the composition and functionality of these microbial communities. Among parasites, Haemonchus contortus causes major economic losses, and t…
The sheep production represent is a good opportunity in brazilian agribusiness. The herd nutrition, as well as, reproduction are key points for development of this sector. Cottonseed is an importante food source can be used to ruminants diet. However, this seed has anti-nutritional factor called gossypol, that it has toxicity and can provide negatively affect on fertility in male. Thus, f…
