What role does Christianity, in particular the Christian account of flesh, play in Michel Foucault’s Critique of the present? Instead of adopting a genealogical perspective according to which Christianity tends to be conceived as the historical origin of modern dynamics of power, this article analyses the conceptual relevance of Flesh in Foucault’s account of critique.. To do so, the article investigates Foucault’s definition of Flesh as a “subjective experience” through which individuals transform themselves. Such an account of experience entails a reformulation of Georges Bataille’s approach to experience, which results in a paradoxical perspective on freedom. My hypothesis is that Foucault’s account of critique draws on and further develops the account of Flesh as a “subjective experience”. The conclusion of the article addresses some of the consequences of such a conceptual development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bovine cysticercosis (BCC) is an important disease in Brazil due to its detection in abattoirs, resulting in economic losses for cattle farmers, and a public health corcern. Besides its importance, the knowledge about BCC epidemiology and impact remains not fully described in several areas in this country, requiring more studies. Thus, this study focused on establishing BCC prevalence in the regions and municipalities of the state of Espírito Santo from 2017 to 2019, establishing the associated risk factors, and estimating the economic losses for cattle farmers. A set of 2,330 cases of BCC was detected in the 407,529 bovine inspected by Federal Inspection Service (0.57%; C.I. 95% 0.55 - 0.60%) with a higher detection of unviable cysticercus (66.14%). The beef producers lost at least US$153,000.20 due to BCC through this period. The highest risk for BCC infection occurred in Metropolitana (OR = 9.19), Litoral Sul (OR = 7.77), Caparó (OR = 7.44), and Central Sul (OR = 7.19) mesoregions, respectively. The BCC was detected in animals from 67 municipalities and its prevalence increased in areas with high human population density (OR = 1.58;; p = 0.01). In conclusion, BCC is an important disease for beef production chain in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo and a cause of economic losses, mainly in some areas, and urgently requires the adoption of prophylactic strategies to reduce the ocurrence of this parasite.

Se estudió el efecto de la raza en el crecimiento, las características y la clasificación de la canal utilizando 11 corderos Charollais x Pelibuey (ChP), 10 corderos Dorper x Pelibuey (DP) y 18 corderos Pelibuey (P) bajo un sistema de producción intensiva en un clima cálido-húmedo. Se observó un efecto significativo del genotipo (P<0.05) en el peso al nacer (PN), el peso al destete (PD) y la ganancia diaria de peso (GDP), todos ellos fueron mayores en el genotipo ChP. Los corderos ChP y DP alcanzaron el peso comercial 35 y 23 días antes, respectivamente, que los corderos P. El genotipo tiene una marcada influencia en las características de la canal, afecta la conformación y la clasificación de la canal. La probabilidad de obtener una canal con buena conformación y clasificación MEX 1 (buena: MEX 1) es 72 % mayor para el genotipo ChP que para el genotipo P. Los rendimientos de lomo y pierna del genotipo ChP fueron mayores que los de los otros genotipos. El pH, la temperatura y el color instrumental de la canal, la carne y la grasa subcutánea fueron afectados por el genotipo. Los corderos ChP mostraron un mejor crecimiento, características y clasificación de la canal que los corderos de los genotipos DP y P. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Vaccination of cattle and buffaloes against foot-and-mouth disease is of paramount importance for the eradication of the disease, however there may be vaccine reactions at the place of application. The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of vaccine reactions at the application site after vaccination of two different brands of FMD vaccine, quantifying the tissue losses and economic losses caused by these reactions in confined cattle. The research was carried out in the confinement of Fazenda Vale do Rio do Ouro, located in the rural area of Mutunópolis - GO, where 76 animals, 63 Nellore and 13 Brangus, were randomly selected. The animals were weighed and vaccinated. Before the vaccine administration, each animal was inspected to ensure that they did not have a previous lesion at the vaccine site and measurement with the use of a caliper. A new inspection at the vaccination site was performed on the tenth and twenty-first day after vaccination, determining the presence or absence of a vaccine reaction. At the end of the confinement, the animals were slaughtered and evaluated. From the three evaluations carried out, the data were consolidated by the frequency of occurrence of vaccine reaction, in addition to the economic losses from the removal of these reactions in the slaughter line. The results of the present study showed that, according to the variables studied, it was observed that on the tenth day (vaccinal reaction 1), twenty-first day (vaccinal reaction 2) and on the day of slaughter (vaccinal reaction 3), there was no significant difference in vaccine reactions between the two vaccine brands.

This study was looking for the effects of energy levels and growth performance on physical characteristics of Iranian lambs' meat. Forty-eight male lambs (initial BW 31.6kg) and 5-month age were assigned to a completely randomized design with factorial method includes fattening periods (12weeks and 15weeks) and levels of metabolism energy (ME) (2.36 and 2.62 ME M cal/kg DM intake). Diets were iso-nitrogenous (14.1 percent crud protein on DM). The rations were mixed and have been fed ad-libltum. The lambs were weaned at 90±5 days of age and divided randomly in two fattening periods groups includes 12weeks and 15weeks (2×24 lambs) and each fattening periods split in two energy levels (2×12). At the end of each fattening period, half of the lambs (24 lambs) were randomly selected and after 18h fasted slaughtered. After trimming and skinning, all the abdominal and interior organs were removed and weighed. The warm carcasses were chilled at 3±2°c for 24 h and weighed, after that their carcass cuts composition was measured. All data were analysed as a completely randomized design with factorial experiment using the GLM procedure of SAS (2010). The average of final, metabolic and hot carcass weight for 12 weeks fattening were 48.1, 18.2 and 25.5 kg and for 15 weeks fattening were 50.9, 19.1 and 27.5 kg (p< 0.05). Among fattening period (12weeks and 15weeks) and different levels of metabolism energy for final, metabolic and carcass weight had significant (p< 0.05). The total mean of dressing percentage between fattening periods and different levels of energy was not significant. The mean of total carcass meat, bone, and subcutaneous fat and fattail percent for 12weeks fattening were 46.7, 11.7, 15.3 and 22.5 percent and 15weeks fattening were 45.9, 11.7, 16.1 and 23.6 percent respectively. But between fattening period and different levels of energy for carcass meat, bone, subcutaneous fat and fat-tail percent were not significant. However, the 12weeks fattening period and 2.36 M Cal ME/kg DM of metabolism energy positive effects on some carcass characteristics, because lower subcutaneous fat and fat-tail percent and carcass composition were not significant.

La tendencia en la literatura contemporánea a la figuración de las problemáticas animales se enmarca en una sensibilidad creciente de la sociedad hacia la alteridad no humana. Poniendo el foco en la temática de la industria cárnica, este artículo se propone investigar cómo la narrativa breve española contemporánea se sirve del mecanismo de animalización del ser humano para efectuar un desplazamiento del binomio ontológico animal-humano al binomio biopolítico bíos-zoé, en términos de Agamben. La figura del ser humano considerado vida fisiológica destinada al consumo, paradójicamente, restaura al animal ausente en la cultura de la carne. Así, este tipo de ficciones —fábulas invertidas— tratan al animal en sí mismo y no como medio para acceder a lo humano. Se recoge, en primer lugar, un corpus de quince relatos publicados desde el año 2014 que problematizan la cultura de la carne a través de la animalización del ser humano. En segundo lugar, se analizan dos ejemplos representativos de tales relatos: “El Pastor”, de Cristina Jurado, y “La granja”, de Izaskun Gracia. Se estudia además, desde una perspectiva de género, la vinculación entre violencia patriarcal y violencia especista planteada en las ficciones literarias.

La creciente riqueza en el mundo en los últimos setenta y cinco años ha llevado a una cada vez mayor demanda de proteína animal barata. Mientras que la moderna carne de pollo o la industria broiler fue desarrollada primero en los Estados Unidos y Europa Occidental, hoy es Brasil el principal exportador de pollos broiler. Este artículo examina el origen y expansión de esta industria en Brasil, explicando cómo y por qué este país ha emergido como el principal exportador mundial tanto de carne de pollos broiler en general, como de carne de pollo halal en particular.

Objetivo. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la función zootécnica de ovinos Blackbelly utilizando índices morfométricos (IM). Materiales y métodos. Se utilizaron 525 hembras y 67 machos adultos para analizar el peso vivo (PV) y once IM, uno de tipo etnológico: índice corporal, y diez de tipo funcional: índice de cortedad relativa, índice de profundidad, índice de profundidad relativa del tórax, índice longitudinal, índice pelviano longitudinal, índice de longitud de la pata delantera, índice dáctilo torácico, índice dáctilo costal, índice de capacidad corporal 1, e índice de capacidad corporal 2. Resultados. Los promedios del índice etnológico en machos (68.8) y hembras (74.2), indicaron que los ovinos Blackbelly de esta población se clasifican como brevilíneos. Los resultados de los índices de aptitud cárnica indicaron en los machos una clara orientación para producción de carne. Sin embargo, los resultados de los índices de aptitud lechera mostraron en las hembras una tendencia eumétrica, lo que significa una aceptable orientación para producción de leche. Se encontró un marcado dimorfismo sexual con promedios mayores (p

Cysticercosis is a parasitoses caused by Taenia saginata characterized by the presence of cysts in bovine tissues. It is one of the most important cause of viscera and carcasses condemnation and undervaluation of beef in slaughterhouses under official inspection. Therefore, this study aimed to establish the prevalence of bovine cysticercosis during the year in the 2021 in a slaughterhouse under Federal Inspection located at the state of Espirito Santo. During the study, the annual prevalence was 4%, being the months of higher occurrence May, September, and November. Additionally, the found frequency of calcified cysts (3,3%) was higher compared to live cysts (0,76%). These data indicate that this is an endemic disease in the region, and more effective actions are required to avoid transmission of this parasitosis between humans and animals and reduce cysticercosis frequency on cattle and its economic losses.

I propose to elucidate the theoretical foundations of Merleau-Ponty’s thought to elaborate the way to a phenomenological aesthetics in his philosophy. For this, it is necessary to delimit the technical concepts to which Merleau-Ponty appeals and, renewing the Husserlian method, exposes them as a phenomenological opening to the sensible world. The concepts that will guide the investigation are: expression, flesh and the dynamics between the visible and the invisible. All of this will allow us to present the discoveries made by the French philosopher, while opening a series of consequences that still need reflection and analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The commercialization of beef is an activity of great relevance for the department of Antioquia (Colombia), particularly in the Urabá region. The objective of this study was to evaluate the fat content, lipid composition, and some indicators of lipid oxidation and protein in beef from the Urabá region. 72 samples of beef cuts (loin and neck) of categories 3, 4 and 5 stars were analyzed. There were no statistical differences (p > 0.05) between the fat content of cuts from the neck (11.64 ± 7.25 %) and loin (10.49 ± 5.60 %), or in the amount of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fat. There was no difference between the samples evaluated for lipid oxidation (TBARS). The lowest protein oxidation (4.48 ± 0.21 nmol carbonyl compounds/mg protein) and peroxide values (2.71 ± 0.12 mEq oxygen/kg sample) coincided with the samples with the lowest total fat content. The results provide tools for establishing quality standards for meat from this region that will allow it to enter new markets in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Salmonella es una bacteria patógena considerada una amenaza para la industria alimentaria, siendo relevante su detección oportuna. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la reacción en cadena de polimerasa en tiempo real acoplado a separación inmunomagnética (rtPCR-IMS) como método alternativo a la Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM-114-SSA1-1994) para la detección de Salmonella en carne de res. Los parámetros evaluados fueron límite de detección, sensibilidad, especificidad, selectividad (inclusión y exclusividad), y grado de concordancia entre ambos métodos para la detección de Salmonella en muestras de carne de res presuntivas y contaminadas artificialmente. La incidencia de Salmonella en las muestras presuntivas de carne (n= 60) osciló de 20.0 a 21.6 % por ambos métodos. En las muestras inoculadas (n= 60), la tasa de detección de Salmonella por rtPCR-IMS (93.3 %) y NOM-114-SSA1-1994 (98.3 %) mostró una coincidencia de 56 ocasiones con una desviación negativa. La comparación de rtPCR-IMS y NOM-114-SSA1-1994 en carne de res reportó una exactitud de 98.3 %, sensibilidad de 98.2 %, especificidad de 100 % y selectividad de 100 %. El límite de detección para ambos métodos fue 1-5 UFC-25 g'1 de carne. El análisis estadístico indica que el rtPCR-IMS es equivalente al método de referencia para la detección de Salmonella en carne de res. Estos resultados advierten la alta incidencia de Salmonella en carne de res y proponen al rtPCR-IMS como un método idóneo y rápido para el control de Salmonella en la industria cárnica.

A questão da intersubjetividade está presente ao longo de toda a obra de Merleau-Ponty, desde A Estrutura do comportamento, a partir do debate com a psicologia e a fisiologia clássicas, até a ontologia indireta desenvolvida em O visível e o invisível. Suas teses evidenciam um aprofundamento em direção à carnalidade de outrem enquanto experiência de um estranho/familiar, que é central para se compreender a possibilidade da intersubjetividade e da experiencia estética do mundo. Desse modo, o presente estudo visa compreender a forma como Merleau-Ponty desenvolveu sua teoria da intersubjetividade na última fase de seu pensamento, considerando a aproximação existente entre a experiência de outrem e a experiência artística, a partir do Logos do mundo estético.

A healthy and sustainable diet reduces the impact on the environment and promotes health. From public health, diet is a crucial determinant of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and coronary diseases known as non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Adopting a healthy and sustainable diet can contribute to their prevention. The study's objective was to describe the environmental impact of several typical dishes from the different geographical regions of Colombia, considering their original recipe initially and then eliminating red meats and processed meats. The study calculated the total CO2-eq/kg of the typical dish from the Food Impacts on the Environment for Linking to Diets database, allowing the CO2-eq/kg of each food. The results showed that the typical dish with the most significant environmental impact was the goat friche with 21,719 CO2-eq/kg. By eliminating red meats and processed meats from the typical dishes, we obtained values lower than 1 CO2-eq/kg, except for the paisa tray, which had a final value of 2,035 CO2-eq/kg. We concluded that adopting a healthy and sustainable diet would reduce mortality from non-communicable diseases and reduce the environmental impact of food production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En España, hay un interés creciente por la conservación de las razas caprinas autóctonas con formas de producción basadas en el pastoreo y por la posibilidad de transformación en producciones ecológicas. El objetivo ha sido evaluar las características sensoriales de la carne de cabrito lechal de dos razas autóctonas, criados en sistemas de producción convencional y ecológica, basados en el pastoreo. Se utilizaron 21 cabritos lechales de los cuales 12 fueron criados en un sistema ecológico (6 de raza Payoya y 6 de raza Blanca Andaluza) y 9 en un sistema convencional (3 de raza Payoya y 6 de raza Blanca Andaluza). El perfil sensorial de la carne se evaluó mediante un panel analítico. Con relación al sistema de explotación, los resultados obtenidos indican que las carnes procedentes de sistemas ecológicos tenían menos intensidad de olor y una textura más blanda, tierna y jugosa que las carnes del sistema convencional. Respecto a la raza, el estudio mostró que las carnes de cabrito de la raza Blanca Andaluza presentaron una intensidad de olor menor y una textura más blanda, tierna y jugosa que las carnes de cabrito de la raza Payoya. Estos resultados preliminares podrían ser favorables para la transformación de las explotaciones convencionales, basadas en pastoreo, a ecológicas.

El mercado de carne bovina en Costa Rica ha presentado algunos cambios en el consumo a nivel nacional, entre otras razones, se estima que debido a los cambios en los gustos y preferencias de las personas hacia otras fuentes de proteína de origen animal. El objetivo de esta investigación fue el de pronosticar el comportamiento de la oferta y la demanda de carne bovina en Costa Rica, mediante un modelo econométrico estructural y un modelo vectorial autorregresivo (VAR). Las variables que fueron significativas para el pronóstico del mercado de carne bovina fueron los precios de los sustitutos y el PIB per cápita en lo que respecta a la demanda, mientras que, para la oferta, las variables que explican su comportamiento fueron el precio rezagado un periodo y el precio de los hidrocarburos. El análisis de los resultados demostró que ningún modelo aplicado logró ajustar la curva de oferta con las variables explicativas, mientras que, sí se logró un pronóstico de la curva de demanda de carne bovina a cinco años, presentando un movimiento total, debido a que se ha generado un efecto sustitución, por lo que al haber menos consumidores demandando este producto existe una presión del mercado que hace que el precio disminuya. La elasticidad del efecto del precio sobre la cantidad demandada de carne bovina indica un comportamiento inelástico, lo que significa que las variaciones en el precio no afectan significativamente la cantidad solicitada por los clientes.

Parte-se da constatação de que, apesar da mediação que implica e define os modos de relacionamento entre indivíduos e real, a realidade é incontornável. No entanto, e tendo em conta a diluição da importância do referente enquanto forma de legitimação da produção de imagens na passagem do século XIX para o século XX, e apesar da emergência da fotografia enquanto meio que implica a presença do referente, defende-se que a relação entre indivíduos e imagens se funda, em grande medida, numa relação entre estas duas entidades, que prescinde do referente, e que é esta relação, quando específica, que pode justificar aproximações como a do punctum, de Roland Barthes. Nesta aceção, existe um espaço, proposto pela imagem, que permite que, para lá dela, o sujeito se possa projetar, e que existe como definição da imagem enquanto superfície e profundidade. Como contraponto, aproxima-se a situação das imagens à situação do corpo e, através desta comparação, defende-se que a importância e realidade do referente, como “coisa em si”, existe quando a imagem não consegue controlar o excesso que o referente é, tal como o corpo, quando não consegue controlar a carne, a torna visível. A imagem está para o corpo como o referente para a carne. As imagens de entes queridos, ou de atrocidades de guerra, são tidas como exemplo desta emergência do referente, como sintoma.

Introduction: Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite with great zoonotic potential. It can infect a broad range of warm-blooded hosts (including livestock) and causes significant losses in the industry. In humans, it has been described as a pathogen in immunosuppressed people, it affects the fetus development in congenital infections, and is associated with various behavioral disorders in healthy people. Humans can acquire T. gondii by consuming undercooked, contaminated meat. Objective: To determine T. gondii positivity (currently unknown) in meat for human consumption (i.e., beef, chicken, and pork) in the city of Ibague, Colombia. Materials and methods: We used conventional nested PCR and the T. gondii B1 gene sequence as amplification target. We collected samples of meat (N=186) sold in the urban area of Ibagué (62 beef, 62 chicken, and 62 pork samples) and determined the T. gondii positivity percentage for each type of meat. Results: The study found an average of 18.8% positivity for all meat samples, pork having the highest percentage (22.5%; 14/62), followed by beef (19.3%; 12/62) and chicken (14.5%; 9/62). The best-amplified products were sequenced by macrogen and aligned with the B1 gene sequences in GenBank, thereby confirming their identity. Conclusions: This is the first study of T. gondii prevalence in meat for human consumption carried out in the city of Ibagué and the department of Tolima. All three types of meat sampled represent a risk for local human infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this article is to show that the flesh and the body are endowed with different meanings according to the philosophical paradigm from which they are thought. Specifically, the author proposes various considerations about the flesh and the body based on four historical paradigms: substance, subject, existence and phenomenon. This journey makes it possible to recognize the semantics of both concepts and clear the way for their use in the theological sphere. Taking into account that Christianity can be defined as religion of the flesh, it concludes with the proposal to turn the flesh into the key to understanding reality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cooking indexes and surface temperatures of grilled meats on a commercial restaurant grill in Fortaleza. Methods: Characterized as descriptive-exploratory and quantitative research, the selected cuts (all beef) were Sirloin, Filet Mignon, and Top Sirloin Cap (picanha), grilled to the following cooking points: rare, medium, and well-done. During the months of September through November 2020, thirty-eight samples were collected. Net weight, cooked weight, cooking index (CI), and average temperatures were measured, in addition to average grill temperatures. Statistical analysis involved Shapiro-Wilk and ANOVA tests. Results: For Sirloin, the CIs ranged from 0.76 to 0.92; for Filet Mignon, from 0.69 to 0.92; and for Top Sirloin Cap, from 0.66 to 0.85. There was a reduction in Filet Mignon weight when cooking from rare to medium. The CI range (0.65 to 0.90) in the Ornelas study corroborated our findings. According to the WHO classifications, Sirloin (rare) would be classified as potentially safe. According to the Prill et al. Model, the Top Sirloin Cap classified as rare. The Sirloin followed a decreasing temperature trend, which was contrary to the anticipated standard. Conclusion: Appropriate temperature control is essential in obtaining ideal models, and this detailed investigation provides an important reference for the use of CIs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The implementation of productive strategies using semi-captivity hens under more familiar conditions to the natural behavior of the species requires adapted phenotypes. These populations require dual-purpose animals, which can produce meat and eggs as part of the current industrial aviculture. Aim. To evaluate the dynamic growth patterns and egg weight, compared to the commercial heavy breeders. Materials and methods: The body weight was checked weekly, between birth and 60 weeks, and the eggs were weighed between sexual maturity and the end of the cycle, in 100 Campero Casilda hens. The body weight data versus chronological age were adjusted according to the Gompertz model, and the egg's weekly weight versus egg age, according to the Weatherup & Foster model. The same adjustment was done to the data collected from the managing guides corresponding to heavy breeding hens Ross308® and Cobb500®. The average values of parameter estimators with a biological significance for the Gompertz and Weatherup & Foster for the Campero Casilda were compared to the reference values corresponding to the commercial breeders, using Student T for a single population sample. Results: Campero Casilda showed the best asymptotic body weight and lowest rate of maturation than the two reference genotypes. The asymptotic weight and egg maturation rates did not differ significantly from Ross308®, and were higher than Cobb500®. Conclusions: Campero Casilda showed a favorable combination of both dynamic patterns -body weight and egg weight. It is a choice of dual-purpose genotype for alternative poultry systems.

Zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) supplementation is marketed for cattle only, and its use has not been widely adopted as growth promoter in other species. The objective of this study was to assess the residual ZH in various tissues of feedlot hair lambs administered with this growth promoter. Forty Intact male lambs were randomly assigned to one of the following four treatments: ZH for 0, 10, 20, and 30 d before the end of the fattening period. All lambs were fed a basal diet and slaughtered 48 h after the feeding trial. Regarding muscle, a linear increase (P=0.05) in ZH concentrations with increasing days of administration was observed (0.0, 0.19, 0.26, and 0.64 ng/g for 0, 10, 20, and 30 d of administration). For the liver, a linear increase (P=0.05) in ZH concentrations with increasing days of administration was also observed (0.0, 0.18, 0.27, and 0.44 ng/g for 0, 10, 20, and 30 days of administration). Higher values of ZH were found in the kidney with 0.0, 0.49, 0.66, and 0.71 ng/g for 0, 10, 20, and 30 days of administration). It was concluded that, regardless of tissue, residues of ZH increased with increasing days of administration of this growth promoter. Also, the observed levels of ZH were lower than those established by SENASICA (Mexico) for cattle, and the values presented in the present study could be the basis for establishing the maximum permissible limits of this growth enhancer in various tissues of sheep.

Objetivou-se quantificar os cortes comerciais e seus tecidos em relação às diferentes faixas de peso corporal de abate de cordeiros. Foram utilizados 150 cordeiros sem raça definida e divididos nas faixas de peso corporal de abate, entre 16 a 20 kg; 21 a 25 kg; 26 a 30 kg; 31 a 35 kg; 36 a 40 kg e 41 a 45 kg. Os cortes comerciais avaliados foram o pescoço, paleta, pernil, costilhar, costelas fixas, costelas flutuantes, lombo com vazio e baixo. A partir desses dados calculou-se o rendimento dos cortes comerciais em relação ao peso de carcaça fria, rendimento de gordura (subcutânea e intermuscular) e de músculo e a relação músculo/gordura. Nos animais abatidos com 21 a 25 kg foi verificado maior rendimento da paleta em relação ao grupo de animais com 41 a 45 kg. Para o pernil, os resultados foram semelhantes aos da paleta. De um modo geral, os cortes comerciais dos animais abatidos mais leves apresentaram maiores rendimentos de músculo e menores de gordura. Os pesos corporais considerados como leves e medianos apresentaram uma melhor relação tecidual, proporcionando melhor porção comestível.

Se evaluó el efecto del aceite esencial de orégano (AEO) y bagazo de orégano (BO) incorporados en la dieta sobre los parámetros productivos, variables de sacrificio y calidad de la carne de conejos. Un total de 100 conejos (30 d de edad) fueron distribuidos en seis tratamientos T1: control, T2: 0.25 g/kg de AEO, T3: 0.40 g/kg de AEO, T4: 20% de BO, T5: 0.25 g/kg de AEO + 20% de BO y T6: 0.40 g / kg de AE + 20% de BO. El mayor peso vivo fue el T6 (P˂0.0001). En 37, 44 y 51 días, T3 presentó el menor consumo de alimento (P=0.0089) y T6 tuvo la mejor ganancia de peso (P=0.0172). La conversión alimenticia fue mejor (P=0.0138) en T5 a los 37 días. El rendimiento de la canal fría y lomo fue más alto en T2, T4 y T5 (P

Este estudio evalúo el efecto del nivel dietético de lípidos y densidad de cultivo sobre parámetros de desempeño, características de carcasa y composición nutricional de la carne de trucha arco iris alimentada con dos piensos, conteniendo dos niveles de lípidos, 12 y 18%, y dos densidades de cultivo, 5 y 15 kg/m3. Las truchas fueron distribuidas en 12 estanques con cuatro combinaciones de tratamientos, tres repeticiones por tratamiento. Se evaluó durante 112 días divididos en dos fases de engorde y acabado. Se determinó que el mejor peso final y conversión alimenticia (p < 0,05) de la trucha arcoíris se obtiene con un nivel de lípidos en la dieta de 18% y una densidad de cultivo de 5 kg/m3. Se encontró que los dos factores evaluados no influyen (p > 0,05) en el rendimiento de carcasa, peso de hígado e índice hepático-somático, pero sí en otras características de la carcasa. Del mismo modo el nivel de lípidos de 18% en la dieta genera mayor contenido lipídico (p < 0,05) en el músculo de la trucha.

Partiendo de la discusión del concepto de carne, en este trabajo analizo la común estructura ontológica/biopolítica que comparten los animales humanos y no humanos. Para ello me sirvo de los feminismos materiales y utilizo los hallazgos teóricos del feminismo animalista. También examino la noción de "encierro" en tanto concepto biopolítico que produce un nuevo tipo de ser vivo. Todo ello para, en último lugar, articular un sentido positivo del concepto de encarnación que permita construir comunidad animal (humana y no humana).

A la luz del nomadismo de Rosi Braidotti y del grotesco estudiado por Bajtín, se pretende abrir una vía para pensar afirmativamente el cuerpo en la literatura. Luego de analizar los mitos de caída a través de la antropología de Ricoeur, se observan las imágenes del hueco en Sanguínea (2019) de Gabriela Ponce para proponer a este como una figuración del cuerpo, es decir, la carne como hueco que desfundamenta los discursos normativos del cuerpo. A través de esta figuración se propone una conexión entre la escritura del cuerpo y el desarrollo del grotesco renacentista. En esta conexión se encuentra la risa necesaria para escribir sobre la carne, una risa desestabilizadora del reino del Sujeto como Mismidad (universal, masculino, blanco, heterosexual, racional).

Antecedentes: la carne DFD (del inglés Dark‚ Firm‚ Dry) es una anomalía que se presenta cuando las reservas de glucógeno muscular no son suficientes para que el pH descienda a su punto óptimo 24 h después del beneficio; se caracteriza por presentar color oscuro y textura defectuosa‚ lo que conlleva al rechazo por parte del consumidor y a la generación de grandes pérdidas económicas en la cadena cárnica. Objetivos: caracterizar la presencia de la anomalía DFD en planta de beneficio animal del departamento de Sucre. Métodos: a través de la prueba de Chi cuadrado‚ setenta y cinco canales bovinas fueron caracterizadas a través de edad‚ sexo‚ tipo racial‚ pH y color. Los valores de pH fueron tomados con un potenciómetro (Hanna instruments 981036) mientras que los de color fueron tomados con un colorímetro portátil NIX sensor color‚ ambas mediciones se realizaron 36 horas post beneficio. Resultados: se presentó una incidencia de 22‚7 % de la anomalía DFD y un 77‚3 % de carne normal‚ los valores promedios de pH fueron de 5‚54 y 5‚96 respectivamente. Esta incidencia resultó mayor en animales de sexo macho (21‚4 %)‚ de tipo racial cebú (16 %) y en aquellos con edad mayor a 48 meses (16 %)‚ razón por la cual estas canales presentaron valores promedio de L* (26‚5) a* (18) y b* (8‚9) menores que en canales no DFD. Conclusiones: la presencia de la anomalía DFD fue afectada por algunos factores intrínsecos al animal. Su incidencia puede estar generando pérdidas económicas a la industria cárnica colombiana. El colorímetro portátil NIX tiene el potencial de discriminar esta condición. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Se evaluó el grado de sustitución de carne bovina por carne equina en distintos puntos de venta de las diferentes Alcaldías de la Ciudad de México, y se identificó las bondades o similitudes con la carne bovina como una fuerte alternativa de nutrientes. Se colectaron 161 muestras de carne de bovino que fueron sometidas a espectroscopia de reflectancia en el infrarrojo cercano (NIR´s – Food Scan) para determinar composición nutricional (contenido de humedad, proteína, grasa y colágeno), color de la carne (Hunter Lab L*, a* y b*) y polimorfismo de secuencias repetidas para caracterizar el origen bovino o equino por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa en geles de agarosa (PCR). Las variables de composición nutricional y color de la carne se analizaron en un diseño completamente al azar. Se encontró que nueve de las muestras dieron positivas para carne de equino y 152 muestras fueron positivas para carne de bovino; resultando que la carne de bovino fue sustituida el 5.59 % por carne equina en los centros de comercialización en la Ciudad de México. Asimismo, el contenido de humedad, proteína, grasa y colágeno fluctuó entre las muestras de 73.1 a 75.1 %, de 22.0 a 23.5 %, de 2.0 a 2.3 %, y de 1.3 a 1.4 mg g-1, respectivamente; observando un ligero incremento (P0.05). Se concluye que el porcentaje de sustitución de la carne de bovino por carne equina (5.59 %) se considera bajo y constituye un fraude al consumidor. Sin embargo, la carne equina tiene un potencial de ser una alternativa viable para el consumo humano, ya que la composición nutricional fue similar a la carne de bovino.

Un total de 27 variables de manejo (antes, durante y después del sacrificio) en 394 bovinos fueron analizadas y utilizadas para determinar su asociación y valor explicativo con la presencia de carne DFD (Dark, Firm, Dry, por sus siglas en inglés), mediante las razones de probabilidad en un modelo de regresión logística múltiple. El estudio se realizó de noviembre de 2016 a agosto de 2017 en un rastro Tipo Inspección Federal localizado en el noreste de México. La presencia de carne DFD fue del 13.45 %. Se realizó un contraste entre clases para los factores evaluados mediante t Student y Ji cuadrada en función de la naturaleza de la variable como criterio de inclusión en la modelación logística. Diez de las variables mostraron significación estadística (P

El presente trabajo aborda la relación que el cuerpo tiene con el cine documental. Se ha buscado una definición coherente para enlazar ese término con el cine de no ficción y se han desarrollado, a partir de esa descripción, una serie de cuestiones relacionadas con su representación y su clasificación. Se ha tratado de incorporar, al final del escrito, una breve tipología de casos en los que el cuerpo puede trabajar dentro del cine documental. Todo ello con el propósito de iniciar un diálogo entre el uso del cuerpo y su representación dentro de un formato que alude a su vinculación con la realidad.

Che cos’è il cinema del corpo? E il cinema del corpo-animale? E ancora: il cinema può darci la presenza del corpo? Sulla scorta del concetto deleuziano di corpo cinematografico in questo saggio cercherò di condurre – con l’ausilio di alcune pellicole esemplari, film di “genere” e d’autore – un’analisi del cinema del corpo e del corpo-animale che, attraverso la raffigurazione di corpi mostruosi e di corpi sacrificabili, di corpi animali e animalizzati, attraverso il divenire animale di corpi visibili e invisibili, possa contribuire a restituire il discorso al corpo, a portare alla luce una nuova narratività del corpo del vivente e a forzare lo spettatore a credere nel corpo, nei corpi, a credere alla carne: poiché il cinema del corpo-animale è sempre cinema politico, come tale può spingere a un’azione politica, un’azione intesa come cambiamento della nostra postura di fronte all’alterità.

Resumo: O presente trabalho buscou analisar o nível da intensificação da pecuária nos anos de 2006 e 2017, nos quais estão disponibilizados os dados do Censo Agropecuário realizados pelo IBGE, no estado de Goiás – GO (Centro-Oeste). Utilizando técnicas de análise fatorial, aglomerados hierárquicos e não hierárquicos com base em dados do Censo Agropecuário, LAPIG/UFG e Agrodefesa – GO, foi possível gerar um índice de intensificação da pecuária para as atividades de corte e de leite. Os resultados indicam uma intensificação significativa da pecuária com aumento de 45% na taxa de lotação animal, além de aumento de 66% na suplementação animal e 49% de produtividade de leite por vaca. A pecuária é uma atividade setorizada, que se desenvolve de maneira mais intensa em zonas específicas. Além disso, a atividade leiteira possui um nível de intensificação superior à atividade de corte. Em 2006 foram classificados com alta intensificação 47 municípios para pecuária de corte e 104 municípios para pecuária leiteira. Já em 2017, o número de municípios com alta intensificação foram de 49 e 111, respectivamente.

Background. Eighty percent of beef produced in Mexico is consumed domestically. However, in recent years per capita domestic consumption has gradually decreased. Identifying consumer preferences and their perspectives on beef quality could provide information for the design of programs focused on the improvement of beef production chain and encourage meat consumption. Objective. In this study the definition of quality is provided and discussed and the published evidence on the main attributes considered by the Mexican consumer at the time of beef purchase are revised, providing a critical perspective on beef quality appreciation and to identify some implications and limitations. Methodology. Was performed a bibliographic search of available literature including the Mexican consumer perspective on beef quality attributes published in peer reviewed papers from international and national indexed journals. Main findings. Evidences on the main criterions that Mexican consumer considers as indicators for beef quality during de beef purchase are presented, and some implications and perspectives for the future adoption of more complex systems to guarantee beef quality and add value to the entire production chain are discussed. Implications. This study provide some directions on the establishment of proposals to adequately define the Mexican beef consumer preferences focused on quality and consistency of product, favorable for the whole beef industry. Conclusions: The price of beef was identified as the main criterion considered for Mexican consumer for purchasing of beef, and secondarily, his perspective include intrinsic attributes generically describing the beef quality. More studies are necessary for the identification of factors affecting the beef consistency and to adequately define the most important attributes that satisfy the Mexican consumer perspective on beef quality.

La noción de carne, perteneciente a la última etapa del pensamiento de Merleau-Ponty, ocupa un lugar determinante en las investigaciones especializadas sobre el autor. Sin embargo, en escasas publicaciones se destaca la inmensa influencia de esta última en el pensamiento actual, especialmente en las corrientes posthumanistas y materialistas de la contemporaneidad filosófica. Nos proponemos, en las páginas que siguen, analizar dicha categoría desde el punto de vista de una filosofía de la relación, interpretándola desde la figura de la medialidad o emparentándola a una noción de medio. Para esto, en la primera parte, se dilucidará la noción merleau-pontiana de medio en Fenomenología de la percepción y la postulación de la experiencia como punto de partida. En la segunda, se explicitarán las múltiples dimensiones en las cuales se despliega la noción de carne en la filosofía tardía del autor. Una vez abordados los aspectos epistemológico, fenomenológico y ontológico de la ontología de la carne se analizará su potencial filosófico proyectando los tratamientos a la problemática de la naturaleza, cuestión que consideramos de vital importancia para las reflexiones filosóficas actuales.

Crossbreeding is an important tool to improve sheep meat production. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the characteristics of the carcass and meat of Pampinta lambs and their cross with Hampshire Down. For the study, 23 whole male lambs were used, 11 of the Pampinta breed and 12 Pampinta crosses with Hampshire Down. The lambs were checked healthily and weighed weekly. At the mother's foot they grazed on triticale (Triticosecale aestivum; L.) greens with vetch (Vicia sativa). They were weaned with an average weight of 20.2 (4.22) kg live weight (LW) and a WC of 2.5 on average (scale from 1 to 5). They entered a pen in a single group for 84 days. On the day of slaughter, the PV Pampinta 37.25 (1.76) kg was recorded; Hampshire Down 37.25 (1.81) kg, hot carcass weight; shaping and fattening; the fat (pelvic-renal) for the category of more than 13 kg of carcass; hot runner pH; LC and LP; AG and AT and compactness indices calculated from morphometric measurements and weight. After 12 h of maturation, PCE and pH were measured and EGD was determined in longissimus thorasis muscle; thickness of the subcutaneous tissue at the GR point; AOB; FC with the Warner-Brätzler shear; CRA and PPC. The animals were classified according to the letters S, E, U, R, O and P; according to great muscular development up to a marked muscular deficiency, and 5 degrees were stipulated for the completion, from the lack of fat coverage to the excessive presence. There was no effect of breed (P = 0.05) on all carcass characteristics. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for data analysis. These results reflect differences in the conformation of the carcass.
