Use of golden mussel and wattle tannin in the supply of cut chickens
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2019 This study aimed to evaluate the use of acacia tannin as a toxic metal adsorbent in the diets of broilers fed with the inclusion of golden mussel meal in substitution for calcitic limestone. In the first trial, 648 male 21-day-old animals were divided among six treatments and six replicates, with 18 birds per experimental unit, organized in a ...

Modelling the Ecological Effect of the Golden Mussel Invasion in Uruguay River
IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2019 Abstract The invasion of exotic species in aquatic environments is one of the several factors responsible for altering the dynamics of fish communities. The golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei was first recorded in the upper Uruguay river, Brazil in 2012 and since then there is an open need to discuss and evaluate how this invasive species interferes ...

Assessment of inorganic contaminants in golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) in Southern Brazil [PDF]
Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 2012 Major and trace element content was determined in golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) collected in the Sao Goncalo Channel (Rio Grande City, Brazil). A microwave-assisted digestion procedure in closed vessels was applied to mussel decomposition and subsequent determination of elements by spectrometric techniques.
