“…These "micro-spines'' represent a particular hazard to livestock, as they are readily detached and can cause intense irritation if they happen to penetrate the skin or mucous membranes, from which they are difficult to remove. The fruits and cladodes of this plant are, nevertheless, often used in rural areas as a source of animal feed (Andrade 1989, Taylor & Zappi 2004, Coelho et al 2020.…”

Ocular and oral lesions caused by Tacinga inamoena in sheep and goats in Northeast Brazil

et al. 2021

Two outbreaks of traumatic injuries in goats and sheep associated with grazing and ingestion of the cactus Tacinga inamoena have recently been reported in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. In the first of these, which was detected in 2019 during a preliminary inspection of a herd of 70 animals, it was found that 15 showed certain ocular complications, and these animals were subjected to general physical and ophthalmic examinations. The clinical findings included excessive lacrimation, blepharitis, photophobia, corneal opacity, hyphema, corneal neovascularization, corneal ulcers, and adherence of gloquids to the bulbar conjunctiva and cornea. Large amounts of T. inamoena were found to be present in several areas in which these animals had been grazed and had been observed consuming the fruits of this plant. In the second outbreak during the following year, two sheep from a total of 100 animals were identified as having oral lesions associated with grazing in areas within which T. inamoena was growing. One of these animals was referred to a veterinary hospital, and on physical examination was found to show apathy, anorexia, a body score of 1.5, and the presence of gloquids within the fur. With respect to the oral cavity, halitosis, severe sialorrhea, extensive hemorrhagic ulcers, and painful tenderness on palpation were detected. Given the unfavorable prognosis, the sheep was subsequently euthanized. At necropsy, multifocal to coalescent plaques were detected on the upper and lower lips, oral mucosa, tongue, and hard and soft palates. These were generally elevated and firm and characterized by an irregular, ulcerated surface, sometimes crusty, with a yellow to light brown center and erythematous edges. The findings of this study highlight that the consumption of T. inamoena can cause serious oral and ophthalmic lesions in small ruminants in the northeastern semi-arid regions of Brazil, and can potentially contribute to substantial large economic losses. This problem tends to be exacerbated by the invasive behavior of T. Inamoena, particularly in areas in the process of environmental degradation.

“…Suas flores possuem pétalas alaranjadas e são diurnas, atraindo a fauna local. Além de serem fonte de alimento para a fauna, esses frutos são utilizados na alimentação humana(Chaves & Barros, 2015;Machado et al, 2018;Coelho et al, 2020).As espécies estudadas desempenham papel importante na floresta tropical sazonalmente seca, cujo calendário fenológico indica a ocorrência das fenofases ao longo do ano (Figura 2). O P. pachycladus floresce e frutifica regularmente durante todo ano, contribuindo para o fornecimento de alimentos durante o período sazonalmente seco.…”

As cactáceas ocorrem de forma espontânea na floresta tropical sazonalmente seca (Caatinga). Com isso, objetivou-se caracterizar as fenofases reprodutivas, investigar a biologia floral e avaliar a viabilidade dos pólens das espécies Xiquexique gounellei (F. A. C. Weber) Lavor & Calvente, Cereus jamacaru DC., Tacinga inamoena (K. Schum.) N. P. Taylor & Stuppy e Pilosocereus pachycladus subsp. pernambucensis (Ritter) Zappi, presentes nesse ecossistema. Para isso, 30 indivíduos de cada espécie foram avaliados quinzenalmente para a coleta de dados fenológicos, biometria floral e viabilidade polínica. P. pachycladus apresentou fenofases reprodutivas durante todo período de estudo (outubro 2020 a maio 2021). C. jamacaru possui floração sazonal, enquanto X. gounellei e T. inamoena produziram frutos constantemente durante todo período de acompanhamento. As flores das quatro espécies são hermafroditas e possuem diferenças na antese e coloração. A viabilidade polínica foi considerada alta em todas as espécies (> 91%), indicando potencial reprodutivo satisfatório. Por tanto, as espécies avaliadas desempenham funções ecológicas na manutenção da fauna existente na floresta tropical sazonalmente seca. P. pachycladus forneceu alimento durante todo ano, enquanto C. jamacaru floresceu de dezembro a maio. T. inamoena e X. gounellei produziram frutos constantemente. O armazenamento de pólen das espécies P. pachycladus, C. jamacaru, X. gounellei e T. inamoena foi estrategicamente eficiente para garantir a sua disponibilidade de forma viável em diferentes períodos de polinização.
