The goal of this study was to modelize the evolution of "ideal" weight gain during pregnancy and to generate automatically the appropriate diet. This computerized model has been developed on a microcomputer and has two units: the first unit calculates the "ideal" weight gain during pregnancy, based on the curves of Rosso which show that weight gain is not linear with term and depends of the prepregnancy weight. The second unit calculates the appropriate diet which is depending for the first visit on height, prepregnancy weight and weight gain and for the followed visits on weight gain and the diet situation of the previous visit. The next step will be the medical evaluation of this computer-aided modelization of weight gain during pregnancy.

We evaluated the effects of breed and mineral source on heifer performance during periods of nutrient restriction and grazing. On day -7, ½ Angus × ½ Nelore (ANE) and Nelore (NE) heifers (12 heifers per breed; body weight, BW = 264 ± 35 kg; age = 15 ± 1 mo) were assigned to individual drylot pens to receive ad libitum Tifton 85 (Cynodon sp.) hay and white salt for 7 days.

Background: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) plays a crucial role in the maturation the neonatal mucosal barrier. The accumulation of IgA antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) in the lactating mammary gland facilitates the secretion of IgA antibodies into milk, which are then passively to the suckling newborn, providing transient immune protection against gastrointestinal pathogens. Physiologically, full-term infants are unable to produce IgA, required for mucosal barrier maturation for at least 10 days after birth.
