Identificação de gênero de fungos encontrados na água de consumo dos animais em granjas de frango de corte e de suínos.

Abstract

Economical globalization is requiring on poultry and swine production a technological improvement in order to raise animal performance, reduce costs and increase product quality due to the consumer demands. In 2005, Brazilian production was highlighted as the main world exporter of poultry protein, and Brazilian swine production archived the 4th position on world production and exportation. Nutrition, genetics, sanity and handling are the large areas, which must be considered altogether for the purposes of maximize qualitative and economical results. Technology adoption on these areas is very important since relates the building environmental conditions and production on the incidence of microorganisms (fungi) which liberates micotoxins, toxic organic compounds and affects animal health and welfare. The main aim of this present work was evaluate the animal consumption water during a poultry flock production and swine nursery, during four weeks, quantifying and identifying, according to the genus morphology, the Fungi Colonies Forming Unities (CFU). The higher fungi incidence was in the broiler house, however, in both sample places, Fusarium sp. was pointed as the most frequent genus. Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus sp., equally micotoxins producers, presented development only on broiler buildings samples.
