The characteristics of fermentation and aerobic stability were evaluated in corn silage inoculated with different doses of Lactobacillus buchneri. The whole corn plant (300 g/kg DM) was ensiled in quadruplicate laboratory silos (7L). L. buchneri 40788 was applied at 5×104, 1×105, 5×105 and 1×106 cfu/g of fresh forage. Silages with no additive were used as controls. After 130 d of ensiling, the silages were subj...
This study evaluated the effect of phosphorus (P) supplementation on the intake, digestibility, and quality of aged meat from Nellore young bulls fed on high-grain diets finished in feedlot. Forty young bulls (30 months old) with an initial body weight (IBW) of 296 ± 25 kg were used. It was distributed in a completely randomized experimental design. The treatments were: without P supplementation (CO), commercia...
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of replacement of ground corn by soybean hulls associated or not to whole soybean grain in the feed supplement on intake, nutrient digestibility, rumen microbial population, and fermentation parameters of growing Nellore steers grazing Brachiaria brizantha cv. Xaraés during rainy season. Were used eight castrated Nellore steers (425 ± 36 kg of body weight (BW)) fitted wit...
The objective of this study was to investigate three storage methods and four storage times for rumen sampling in terms of quality and yield of extracted metagenomic DNA as well as the composition of the rumen bacterial community. One Nellore steer fitted with a ruminal silicone-type cannula was used as a donor of ruminal contents. The experiment comprised 11 experimental groups: pellet control (PC), lyophilize...

Foram estudadas as características qualitativas de cinco músculos, maturados ou não, de quatorze bovinos da raça Nelore com 450 kg ± 30...
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of inclusion of crude glycerin (CG) in the supplement (0, 70, 140, 210, and 280 g kg-1 dry matter (DM) of supplement) of Nellore cattle grazing tropical grasses during dry season. In Experiment 1, intake, digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and the rumen microbial profile were evaluated in two simultaneous 5 × 5 Latin squares, using 10 ruminally cannulated...
Lipid supplementation may adversely affect rumen fermentation, microbial abundance, nutrient utilization and the duodenal flow of fatty acids (FA). In a 5 × 5 Latin square design, 10 Nellore steers with ruminal and duodenal cannulas (292 ± 28 kg BW) were fed one of the five following dietary lipid sources in the concentrate, as follow: (1) no additional fat (WF); (2) palm oil (PO) derived from the Palmaceae pla...
Objetivou-se conduzir estudo colaborativo para avaliação dos teores de fibra em detergente neutro indigestível (FDNi) e fibra em detergente ácido indigestível (FDAi) em alimentos em seis laboratórios de instituições integrantes do Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia de Ciência Animal (INCT- CA). Avaliaram-se seis alimentos: feno de capim-braquiária, cana-de-açúcar, silagem de milho, farelo de soja, milho...
