Knowledge about lactose intolerance among Nutritionists [Abstract in English]
Social Science & Medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Andreia Bauermann, Zilda Elisabeth De Albuquerque SantosAbstract:AIMS: To evaluate the knowledge of Nutritionists about lactose intolerance and its nutritional management. METHODS: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted, with a sample of Nutritionists who work in the clinical area in the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Data collection occurred by completing a self-administered questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions about lactose intolerance and its nutritional treatment. RESULTS: A total of 30 Nutritionists working in hospitals or clinics were interviewed, the vast majority (29) female. The age ranged between 25 and 58 years (median 37 years) and the minimum graduation time was 7 years. Only a third of respondents correctly conceptualized lactose intolerance as gastrointestinal symptoms resulting from lactose malabsorption. In case of lactose intolerance in an infant, 56.5% of respondents would recommend maintaining breastfeeding and remove cow's milk proteins from the mother's diet. Less than half of professionals (46.6%) knew the recommended dose of calcium for adults aged 19 to 50 years. Thirteen respondents (43.3%) reported often meet patients with lactose intolerance. There was no association between better knowledge about the management of lactose intolerance and the frequency with which the professionals used assist patients with this disorder. CONCLUSIONS: Most Nutritionists of this sample were not sufficiently prepared to treat individuals with lactose intolerance; they had no adequate knowledge about this condition and its nutritional management.

survey of the nutritional recommendations and management practices adopted by feedlot cattle Nutritionists in brazil
Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2014Co-Authors: Carmem Aparecida De Freitas Oliveira, D D MillenAbstract:Abstract Thirty-three feedlot cattle Nutritionists were surveyed to evaluate the management practices and nutritional recommendations adopted by feedlots in Brazil. The web-based survey consisted of 81 questions that included: general information ( n = 10); general commodity information ( n = 15); use of coproducts ( n = 5), roughage source and level ( n = 5); adaptation methods ( n = 7); feed mixers ( n = 6); feeding management ( n = 6); cattle management and type of cattle fed ( n = 13); formulation practices ( n = 9); information resources used for nutritional recommendations ( n = 2); and additional questions ( n = 3). In total, the 33 Nutritionists were responsible for approximately 2,658,000 animals, and moreover, 65.5% of those participants had clients that feed less than 5000 animals yearly. Corn was the primary source of grain used in feedlot diets (87.9%) and cracking was the primary processing method recommended by Nutritionists (57.6%). The average concentrate and roughage inclusion in finishing diets was 79.0% and 21.0%, respectively. The main challenges faced by Nutritionists are the lack of available and precise equipment and lack of trained employees with respiratory diseases as the main health problem. This survey of nutrition and management practices should aid in the development of research for the feedlot industry in Brazil and similar tropical climates, as well as provide data to facilitate the broader application of future NRC models.

a snapshot of management practices and nutritional recommendations used by feedlot Nutritionists in brazil
Journal of Animal Science, 2009Co-Authors: D D Millen, R D L Pacheco, Mario De Beni Arrigoni, M L Galyean, J T VasconcelosAbstract:Feedlot consulting Nutritionists were invited to participate in a survey of feedlot nutritional and management practices in Brazil. Thirty-one Nutritionists completed the survey on a Web site that was designed for collection of survey data. The survey consisted of 94 questions that included general information (n = 10); commodity information (n = 12); and questions about the use of coproducts (n = 5), roughage source and levels (n = 5), finishing diet adaptation methods (n = 7), supplements and micronutrients (n = 8), feed mixers (n = 6), feeding management (n = 3), cattle management and type of cattle fed (n = 16), formulation practices (n = 17), information resources used for nutritional recommendations (n = 2), and 2 additional questions. One final question addressed the primary challenges associated with applying nutritional recommendations in practice. The number of animals serviced yearly by each nutritionist averaged 121,682 (minimum = 2,000; maximum = 1,500,000; mode = 120,000; total = 3,163,750). Twenty-two respondents (71%) worked with feedlots that feed less than 5,000 animals/yr. Labor, along with availability and precision of equipment, seemed to be the main challenges for the Nutritionists surveyed. Most of the Nutritionists surveyed used TDN as the primary energy unit for formulation. More than 50% of the clients serviced by the 31 Nutritionists did not manage feed bunks to control the quantity of feed offered per pen, and 36.6% fed cattle more than 4 times daily. The NRC (1996) and Journal of Animal Science were the most used sources of information by these Nutritionists. Overall, general practices and nutritional recommendations provided by the 31 Nutritionists surveyed were fairly consistent. Present data should aid in development of new research, future National Research Council models, and recommendations for Brazilian feeding systems in which Bos indicus cattle predominate.

Qualitative analysis of the contributions of Nutritionists to the development of an online instrument for monitoring the food intake of schoolchildren.
Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, 2014Co-Authors: Vanessa Fernandes Davies, Emil Kupek, M. A. A. De Assis, Raquel Engel, F. F. Da Costa, P. F. Di Pietro, S. Natal, Debbe Thompson, Tom BaranowskiAbstract:Background The Consumo Alimentar e Atividade Fisica de Escolares (CAAFE) questionnaire is an online research tool that has been developed to enable the self-report of physical activity and diet by Brazilian schoolchildren aged 7–10 years. Formative research was conducted with Nutritionists during the development of the web-based questionnaire. The suggestions and insights obtained were used to design a tool to monitor schoolchildren's food consumption based on the concept of healthy and unhealthy food indicators. The present study aimed to report the focus group discussions conducted with Nutritionists concerning the CAAFE questionnaire. Methods Focus group discussions were conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire, and these were then analysed thematically. Results Twenty-four Nutritionists participated (four focus groups; average per group: six people); the majority (n = 22) had experience with 7–10-year-old children. Four themes emerged: (i) healthy and unhealthy food indicators; (ii) suggestions for the online instrument; (iii) potential applications; and (iv) challenges for its construction. Conclusions Comments made by Nutritionists enabled the construction of an instrument that is able to answer questions related to food consumption in schools and at home.
