However, the lack of specific regulations for processing this product in the state compromises sanitary certification, quality standardization, and market competitiveness. With the aim of contributing to a draft state technical regulation on identity and quality for stingless bee honey, this study characterized the physicochemical, microbiological, and melissopalynological parameters of 15 samples from the five mesoregions of Maranhão and conducted a systematic review on the subject. The analyses included indicators of maturity, purity, deterioration, and microbiological quality, compared to limits established in regulatory standards of other Brazilian states. The results revealed conformity in the parameters of maturity and purity, with adequate levels of moisture, water activity, reducing sugars, diastase, ash, and insoluble solids, in addition to the consistent presence of pollen grains associated with regional flowerings. On the other hand, non- conformities were observed in the deterioration indicators, especially in the hydroxymethylfurfural values, in addition to punctual deviations in pH, free acidity, and mold and yeast counts, suggesting the influence of environmental conditions and processing practices. The findings provide a technical basis for establishing physicochemical and microbiological limits compatible with the productive reality of Maranhão. The proposed draft contributes to the standardization Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/6271 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5763 Título: Avicultura de corte comercial na Ilha do Maranhão: perfil socioeconômico, produtivo e utilização de cama de aviário Abstact: The objective of this research was to characterize the socioeconomic and productive profile of commercial poultry in the Island of Maranhão - MA and to report the sanitary episode of avian litter intake by cattle, epidemiologically characterizing the sanitary situation and the sanitation measures implemented. In order to reach the objectives of this study, 10 commercial broiler breeders registered at the State Agency of Agricultural and Livestock Defense of the State of Maranhão were interviewed through semi-structured questionnaires. E, used 119 cattle from a rural property located in the municipality of São José de Ribamar - MA. As a basic research instrument (questionnaires) it was possible to determine some characteristics of poultry farming, such as: profile of poultry producers; characteristics of properties; performance of the activity; and, production, use and marketing of aviary bed. With the results obtained in this study we observed a new organization of the production chain of broilers in the study area. Thus, there is a producer with a differentiated profile in the Island of Maranhão, characterized by production in partnership with integrating companies and employment of hired labor, characterizing an industrial-type poultry; incorporation of producers with larger land areas and greater bird housing capacity; and, the presence of technical assistance that is reverted in improvement of the sanitary state and, consequently, in the indicators of productive performance. As for the sanitary episode, this was the result of an anonymous complaint about the supply of poultry litter as feed for cattle. After 72 hours of the complaint, property inspection and collection of feed samples were carried out. The collected material was sent to the National Agricultural Laboratory of Santa Catarina for the detection or not of by-products of animal origin. In the initial inspection to the rural property was verified the presence of aviary bed supplied to the cattle as food. And, the laboratory result was detected the presence of uncalcined bones, non-hydrolyzed feathers and blood, which proves the feeding of the animals with byproducts of animal origin. The data obtained in this study show that commercial poultry farming in the Island of Maranhão has great potential for expansion, mainly based on grain supply, climate, favorable topography and good infrastructure. However, there is a need to establish incentive measures for poultry farms focused on health education, taking into account the production, use and commercialization of poultry litter and the risks arising from them in ruminant feeding. It is suggested the intensification in the active inspections in ruminant rearing properties and the control in the transit of the aviary bed that appears in the documentation the purpose of use of this byproduct.

In this context, monitoring Salmonella spp. is crucial to ensure product quality, protect consumer health, and strengthen Maranhão as a competitive poultry hub. This study aimed to monitor Salmonella spp. in commercial broiler farms in the state of Maranhão and to develop a sample collection manual to assist technical personnel in poultry establishments. The analyses were carried out following the methodology established by Ordinance No. 126, dated November 3, 1995, which sets standards for the diagnosis of avian salmonellosis. The sampled farms were located in nine municipalities within the state of Maranhão. During 2022 and 2023, 578 surface swab samples were analyzed using boot swabs: 393 samples in 2022, with 12 positives (3.1%), and 175 samples in 2023, with 9 positives (5.1%). The results confirm the presence of Salmonella spp. in the farms, although the priority serovars targeted by the National Poultry Health Program were not detected, indicating that biosecurity measures have been effective. However, the increase in the positivity rate in 2023 underscores the need to intensify surveillance strategies and sanitary control practices. The sample collection manual developed in this study, aligned with the guidelines of the National Poultry Health Program, provides clear instructions to ensure the accuracy and reliability of diagnoses. Training professionals in the sector, combined with systematic monitoring, is essential to mitigate the risks associated with salmonellosis and safeguard public health Mon, 23 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5539 2024-12-23T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5512 Título: Influência do teste Elisa sobre o diagnóstico de Mormo Abstact: Glanders is an infectious-contagious zoonosis caused by the bacterium Burkholderia mallei, which mainly affects mules and donkeys in the acute phase and horses in the chronic phase, and can occasionally affect small ruminants, felids and, accidentally, humans. This study aimed to analyze the influence of the ELISA test on the increase in positive cases of Glanders in horses in Brazil and Maranhão. The research used data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA) and the State Agency for Agricultural Defense of Maranhão (AGED). The results indicated a linear growth in the number of glanders cases in Brazil, with 29 cases in 2018, 74 in 2019, 287 in 2020, 207 in 2021, 221 in 2022, and 231 in 2023. During the years 2020 to 2023, in Maranhão, 438 animals were reactive by the ELISA test. In 2020, all mesoregions in Maranhão, with the exception of the southern mesoregion, had confirmed cases. In the following years, there was an expansion of cases to all five mesoregions of the state, with emphasis on the northern region of the state. In 2023, the number of confirmed cases reached 122, equivalent to the sum of the previous three years. It should be noted that, of these 122, 43 were confirmed only by the ELISA test, as they occurred between the months of August and December 2023, a period in which the Western Blotting (WB) confirmatory test was not required to be performed, through MAPA Ordinance 593/2023. The study highlights the greater sensitivity of ELISA compared to the Complement Fixation Test (TFC), especially in the identification of chronic cases, and reinforces the need for effective epidemiological control measures, such as biosafety practices and greater awareness of breeders. An educational booklet was developed to disseminate information about glanders and its prevention. It is concluded that Maranhão remains endemic for glanders, and it is essential to strengthen diagnostic and control strategies to mitigate the spread of the disease Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5512 2024-12-20T00:00:00Z
