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 study will be conducted in order to evaluate the effect of supplementation on the immune response and performance of lambs artificially infected simultaneously with Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus colubriformis. The experiment will be conducted with a 2 x 4 factorial design (lambs infected and non-infected x four diets). Lambs will be allocated into eight groups: four groups…
This study will be conducted to evaluate the protection conferred by a vaccine consisting of purified proteins of the membrane of the intestine de Haemonchus contortus, against artificial infection by H. contortus or Haemonchus placei in calves. Forty male Holstein calves, raised worm free, will be used. The animals will be allocated into four experimental groups as follows: Group 1 (n = …

The postdoctoral student will be involved in all activities of the experiment related to artificial infection of animals, performance, digestibility, methane emission, immune response and gastrointestinal microbiome. Sixty two multiparous non-twin-bearing ewes will be divided into three treatment groups. Control group (n=15) without supplementary Zn; group treated with conventional ZnO (n…
Zinc is a micromineral involved in the immune response that has recently become available as zinc oxide nanoparticles. This work aims to evaluate the influence of dietary supplementation of zinc oxide nanoparticles on the performance and immune response of sheep naturally infected with gastrointestinal nematodes. For this, 28 lambs will be divided into two groups of 14 animals each: each …
The studies will aim to establish the relationship between different dietary zinc levels and the efficiency of immune response against Haemonchus contortus infection in lambs. The postdoctoral will be involved in all activities of the experiment related to artificial infection of animals, determination of parasitic worm burden and immunological analyzes. Every two weeks, blood samples wil…
The objective of this research is to assess whether the integrated crop-livestock systems (ICL) involving corn, pigeon pea and oats in consortium with marandugrass, can be used in the control of worms in sheep. The ICL systems will be evaluated: (1) corn + palisadegrass + oats spread out manually; (2) corn + marandugrass + pigeon pea + oats spread out manually; (3) corn + marandugrass + o…
Two trials will be carried out to assess the efficacy of a vaccine against Haemonchus contortus in sheep. Experiment 1 aims to assess the effectiveness of the vaccine in ewes during the pregnancy and lactation periods, maintained with high or low nutritional level. These ewes will be divided into four groups as follows: Group 1: immunised with the vaccine against haemonchosis and maintain…

This study aims to evaluate the dynamic of simultaneous infection with Haemonchus contortus and Haemonchus placei in sheep, with emphasis on evaluation of the competition or crossing between these two species. In the first trial, six animals (group 1) received 2,000 infective larvae (L3) of H. placei, on day zero and 11 days later the same animals were infected with 2,000 L3 of H. contort…
