Resumo
Na bovinocultura de leite, a alta contagem de células somáticas (CCS) é considerada indicativo da condição de mastite. A mastite ainda continua sendo a doença de maior prevalência em gado leiteiro, causando altos custos. Em rebanhos bufalinos no estado de São Paulo, a presença de mastite subclínica e clínica representam 1,5% e 18,77%, respectivamente, das búfalas em lactação. Isto pode levar à diminuição na produção e na qualidade do leite. Considerando-se que não é possível erradicar essa doença devido a sua origem ser multifatorial (fatores genéticos e ambientais), todos os esforços devem ser concentrados no sentido de manter sua prevalência a mais baixa possível. Assim sendo, o objetivo de nosso estudo foi estimar os parâmetros genéticos para a CCS e produção de leite e identificar polimorfismos nos genes B-defensina 1 e 4. Na estimação dos parâmetros genéticos para a CCS e produção de leite (P305) foram utilizadas 4.907 lactações de 1986 búfalas contidas no arquivo zootécnico mantido pelo Departamento de Zootecnia da Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias da UNESP de Jaboticabal, as quais foram analisadas por meio de inferência bayesiana em análises bicaracterística, empregou-se um modelo animal. Para a caracterização dos genes b-defensina 1 e 4 foram utilizadas amostras de DNA genômico de 132 búfalas de diferentes regiões do estado de São Paulo, empregou-se a técnica de PCR/RFLP (Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase/ Polimorfismo do Comprimento dos xiii Fragmentos de Restrição). As estimativas de herdabilidade da CCSt (h2=0.27) e da P305 (h2=0.25) foram...
In dairy cows, high-somatic cell count (CCS) in milk is considered indicative of the mastitis condition of the mammary gland. Mastitis, inflammation of the mammary glands of dairy animals both clinical and subclinical, results in significant economic losses because of lower milk yields and its degraded quality, early culling and loss of genetic potential, higher veterinary expenses and increased labour costs for a farmer. In buffaloes from São Paulo State, the presence of clinical and subclinical mastitis represent losses between 1,5% and 18,77% of dairy milk buffaloes. This fact causes a diminution of production in the milk quality, interfering in mozzarella production, which is to making utilizing this specie milk. We known that is not possible disappear this illness because their multifactorial source (genetics and environmental factors), all effort will be concentrated in the direction of to keep the prevalence as low that possible. Because the importance of the mastitis in animal dairy, in the last year increase the number of study of defensin genes, which are a group of multifunctional peptides, due to the role played by defensins in defending animals from bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, the genes encoding them seem to be potential markers of the genetically determined susceptibility (or resistance) of the mammary gland. Defensins are present not only in the mammary gland, but also in milk, as well as in leukocyte granules and in macrophages which constitute a part of milk cell population. The β-defensins are cationic peptides. It is a group of antimicrobiana peptides with antibiotic and cytotoxic activity against bacterium xv viruses and fungi. Interest in the β-defensins has grown substantially in recent years, because of their antimicrobiana properties and because... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
