Pig farming faces challenges in terms of productivity and health due to the stressors that affect piglets after weaning. Antibiotics are commonly used to reduce losses caused by these factors, but their indiscriminate use has led to resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics. Therefore, finding an alternative to antibiotics that guarantees animal welfare, production sustainability and economic viability is a challenge, especially in the weaning phase.

"Black Territories' and 'Black Culture': City and Race Relations in the Coleção Carnaval Paulistano of São Paulo’s Image and Sound Museum (1970s and 1980s)"
Although in Brazil “Black territory” is a notion that has historically served activist and scholarly purposes, there has been little work to theorize specific Brazilian meanings for the concept.
