Dietary net energy mainly affects growth performance and pork quality of finish...
Moreira,Camila de Araújo; Bonagúrio,Lucas Pimentel; Esteves,Lucas Antonio Costa; Sitanaka,Natália Yoko; Pozza,Paulo CesarABSTRACT The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of net energy levels in diets for barrows, from 70 to 100 kg, on performance, plasma parameters and carcass characteristics. Two experiments were carried out: in the first (Experiment I), a metabolism assay was carried out to estimate the net energy (NE) of experimental diets. Twelve crossbred barrows, averaging 85.74 ± 6.80 kg initial body weigh...
Effect of observed individual data of performance and excretion on life cycle a...
Monteiro,Alessandra Nardina Trícia Rigo; Dourmad,Jean-Yves; Fachinello,Marcelise Regina; Diaz-Huepa,Laura Marcela; Sitanaka,Natália YokoABSTRACT: The objective was to evaluate the impact of producing piglets fed diets with different crude protein (CP) levels through life cycle assessment and experimental data. In Trial I (performance), 28 crossbred barrow piglets, with an initial average weight of 15.3 ± 1.15 kg were divided into a randomized block design with four treatments, seven replications and one animal per experimental unit. In Trial II...
Metabolisable energy prediction in energy feedstuffs and evaluation of the step...
Oliveira,Newton Tavares Escocard de; Pozza,Paulo Cesar; Castilha,Leandro Dalcin; Pasquetti,Tiago Junior; Langer,Carolina NataliABSTRACT The use of predicted values of apparent metabolisable energy (AME), obtained from regression equations, can be useful for both research institutions and nutrition industries. However, there is a need to validate independent samples to ensure that the predicted equation for AME is reliable. In this study, data was collected in order to estimate the prediction equations of corn, sorghum and wheat bran fo...
Using near infrared spectroscopy to predict metabolizable energy of corn for pigs
Ferreira,Silvia Letícia; Vasconcellos,Ricardo Souza; Rossi,Robson Marcelo; Paula,Vinicius Ricardo Cambito de; Fachinello,Marcelise ReginaABSTRACT: The chemical composition of corn is variable and the knowledge of its chemical and energetic composition is required for an accurate formulation of the diet. This study aimed to determine the chemical composition, that is, dry matter (DM), mineral matter (MM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), ether extract (EE), crude protein (CP), gross energy (GE) and energetic values of di...
Metabolizable energy in energy food for growing pigs and cross-validation regre...
Oliveira,Newton Tavares Escocard de; Pozza,Paulo Cesar; Castilha,Leandro Dalcin; Pasquetti,Tiago Junior; Langer,Carolina NataliABSTRACT The present study aimed to determine the apparent metabolizable energy (AME) of six corn cultivars, two sorghum cultivars and two wheat brans and to evaluate the cross-validation of predictive models of AME for corn, sorghum and wheat bran for growing pigs, as estimated from the data of chemical composition. Forty-four pigs, with an average initial weight of 24.3 kg, were distributed in a randomized bl...
Adjustment of nonlinear models and growth parameters and body nutrient depositi...
Grieser,Daiane de Oliveira; Marcato,Simara Márcia; Furlan,Antonio Claudio; Zancanela,Vittor; Gasparino,Eliane; Vesco,Ana Paula DelABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine the adjustment quality of non-linear models and estimate the growth parameters and body chemical composition of a meat-type quail strain (Coturnix coturnix coturnix) and two laying quail strains (Coturnix coturnix japonica), designated yellow and red. The study used 1500 quail, not sexed, distributed in a completely randomized design with three treatments an...
The requirement of valine for gilts in the initial phase is not influenced by m...
Huepa,Laura Marcela Diaz; Castilha,Leandro Dalcin; Ferreira,Silvia Letícia; Monteiro,Alessandra Nardina Trícia Rigo; Costa,Alcides Emanuel Rodrigues daABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the standardized ileal digestible (SID) valine and SID leucine levels on performance, backfat thickness, longissimus dorsi depth, and biochemical blood parameters of starting gilts. A total of 72 gilts, with initial weight of 15.16±1.15 kg, were distributed in a randomized block design in a 2 × 4 factorial scheme, comprised of two SID leucine levels (1.20 and...
Life cycle assessment as a tool to evaluate the impact of reducing crude protei...
Monteiro,Alessandra Nardina Trícia Rigo; Dourmad,Jean-Yves; Pozza,Paulo CesarABSTRACT: Environmental impacts of livestock systems, especially pig production, have come under increasing debate in recent years. The challenge is in meeting the growing demand for food at an affordable cost, without compromising environmental integrity. Previous studies have shown that feed production is responsible for the majority of CO2-eq. emission resulting from pig farming systems. This seems to indica...
Microbiota indigenous milk, mesophilic lipolytic and proteolytic colonial chees...
Pereira,Elisângela Borsoi; Pozza,Magali Soares dos Santos; Olivo,Paula Martins; Santa,Osmar Dalla; Pires,Suzana da Cruz; Borsoi,Joelmir AndréSUMMARY Cheese is the oldest form of preserving milk nutrients having nutritional, economic and cultural importance. The objective of this study was to identify the best time of the year for production, and period, in months, for maturation of traditional colonial cheese, through analysis of water activity, weight loss and counts of lactic acid, mesophilic microorganisms—proteolytic and lipolytic. Records of te...
Predicting the metabolizable energy of first and second corn harvests for piglets
Esteves,Lucas Antonio Costa; Oliveira,Newton Tavares Escocard de; Huepa,Laura Marcela Diaz; Ferreira,Silvia Letícia; Castilha,Leandro DalcinABSTRACT Corn is one of the primary ingredients in swine diets, but there is a variation in its chemical composition and metabolizable energy (ME) content. Therefore, faster methods are required that can determine more accurate ME values to improve piglet diets. This study determined and predicted the ME of corn from first and second harvests for piglets. Two experiments were conducted to determine the ME value...
