Information about the progress made with this zootechnical additive is also collected, with positive effects on physiological, immunological, health and production indicators of different species of economic interest. Due to its importance, it is proposed to continue the researchers carried out with Vitafert, with the aim of improving its production and optimization process, as well as the mechanisms of action that generate beneficial responses in animals, based on advanced technologies in health and nutrition.}, }

The in vitro gas production technique was applied, with modifications according to the proposed objective. Three treatments were established: A) star grass control, B) star grass + yeasts cream and C) star grass + yeasts hydrolyzate. The doses of cream and hydrolyzate were 100 mL/kg of concentrate/day, equivalent to 130 mg of (β 1.3) glucan/kg of concentrate. Samplings were done before incubation, and at 3 and 6 hours after incubation. The hydrolyzate activated the total bacterial populations (P=0.0088) by 62 %, which corresponds to 19.36 x 1011 CFU/mL more of bacteria, which means an increase in bacterial biomass. Cellulolytic bacteria were more numerous (P=0.0042) and the total number of cellulolytic fungi increased (P=0.0009) with the hydrolyzate. There was no effect of time on the total viable bacteria, cellulolytic bacteria and cellulolytic fungi. It is concluded that the hydrolyzate produces changes in the ruminal population, increasing the population of total viable bacteria, bacteria and cellulolytic fungi, an event that could favor the degradation of the fiber contained in the star grass.}, }

Among the variables examined, economic income, the price per liter of milk and the quantity of liters used for cheese production emerged as the most influential factors. The results showed that automatic learning techniques can effectively classify small-scale dairy production, with accuracy above 96 %. The presence of a child who provides economic support to the house, the allocation of milk for the production and sale of cheese, together with its use for family consumption, significantly influenced 90 % of the surveyed participants.}, }

Two analyses were performed: the first ignored the lack of normality of the response variable, while the second considered the non-compliance with this assumption. Parameter estimation was performed using the NLMIXED procedure. The following statistical criteria were used to select the model with the best goodness of fit: CME, R2aj, AIC, BIC, and parameter significance. The fulfillment of the hypotheses of independence and randomness of the residual component was also considered. The tests to select the probability distribution of in vitro gas production showed that it has an exponential distribution (P>0.05). It is concluded that the logistic model with a “log” link function to estimate the population mean of in vitro gas production did not show adequate results. However, the segmental linear model was the one that best described this performance, revealing the best R2aj, CME, AIC, BIC and visually random residuals. Also, with the segmental linear model similar results were obtained, regardless of the normality of the response variable. The results showed that in certain cases parametric procedures can be used with data that do not fulfill with normality. However, the consequences of such violations must be taken into account. A segmental linear model is proposed as an alternative to describe in vitro gas production when the data do not fulfill with normality.}, }
