Effects of ricinoleic acid from castor oil and cashew nutshell liquid on nutrie...
Gandra,Jefferson Rodrigues; Valle,Tiago Antonio Del; Takiya,Caio Seiti; Freitas Jr.,José Esler; Oliveira,Euclides Reuter deABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effects of combining functional oils (FO) [ricinoleic acid (RA) and cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL)] on nutrient intake and total-tract apparent digestibility, ruminal fermentation, nitrogen utilization, and predicted rumen microbial protein (Pmic) in heifers. Twelve Jersey heifers (14±0.6 months and 264±18.7 kg BW) were assigned to a 4 × 4 Latin square experiment with th...
Whole-plant soybean ensiling with chitosan and homolactic microbial inoculant: ...
Gandra,Jefferson Rodrigues; Del Valle,Tiago Antônio; Pause,Alzira Gabriela da Silva; Pedrini,Cibeli Almeida; Oliveira,Euclides Reuter deABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chitosan and homolactic microbial inoculant on fermentative losses, chemical composition, fermentative profile, and aerobic stability of whole-plant soybean silage (WPSS). Additionally, it was evaluated nutrients intake and digestibility of sheep fed increasing levels of WPSS. Thirty experimental silos were randomly allocated to one of the following treatment...
Chitosan combined with technical cashew nut shell liquid improves in vitro rumi...
Vieira,Elis Regina de Queiroz; Goes,Rafael Henrique de Tonissi e Buschinelli de; Diaz,Tatiana Garcia; Osmari,Milene Puntel; Seno,Leonardo de OliveiraABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the inclusion of chitosan (CHI) and technical cashew nut shell liquid (CNSLt) as natural feed additives in cattle diets on nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and in vitro gas production kinetics. We conducted a completely randomized design with 5×4 factorial arrangement, with 20, 35, 50, 65, and 100% Tifton 85 hay and four additives, monensin (200 mg/kg DM), CNS...
Pasture organic management using thermopotassium and thermophosphate in the Cer...
Soares,João Paulo Guimarães; Ramos,Allan Kardec Braga; Braga,Gustavo José; Marchi,Giuliano; Oliveira,Euclides Reuter de; Gandra,Jefferson RodriguesAbstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of the thermopotassium and thermophosphate agrominerals, as sources of P and K, in an organic pasture consortium of 'Marandu' Urochloa brizantha + Stylosanthes spp. in the Brazilian Cerrado. The organic management was compared with conventional farming using chemical fertilizers, during three years, in two adjacent experiments, one with and th...
Infrared thermography and feeding behavior of lambs fed increasing levels of sa...
Ferreira,Mateus Silva; Goes,Rafael Henrique de Tonissi e Buschinelli de; Martinez,Antonio Campanha; Gandra,Jefferson RodriguesABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the feeding behavior, physiological responses, and rumen heat emission of lambs fed with safflower grains. Eighteen lambs were randomly distributed in a completely randomized design. Safflower grain was added to the diets in the proportions of 0.0; 7.5 and 15%. The safflower grain did not change the patterns of eating, leisure, or rumination; however, it improved the effic...
Inclusion of copaiba oil (Copaifera sp.) as additive in supplements for cattle ...
Lima,Fabiola Espindola Ortega de; Goes,Rafael Henrique de Tonissi e Buschinelli de; Gandra,Jefferson Rodrigues; Penha,Diego dos SantosSUMMARY This study analyzed the effect of including copaiba oil as an additive for cattle supplemented on pasture, during the dry season. Four crossbred steers, castrated, with 245 ± 25 kg, aged about 18 months, fitted with permanent rumen cannula; were randomly assigned to a 4×4 Latin square. All animals were housed in individual paddocks (0.3 ha), uniformly covered with Brachiaria brizantha cv Marandu, with t...
Ruminal parameters and ruminal degradability of feedlot sheep fed safflower grains
Alves,Jefferson Leonardo Rocha; Goes,Rafael Henrique de Tonissi e Buschinelli de; Martinez,Antônio Campanha; Nakamura,Aguinaldo YoshioSUMMARY This study aimed to evaluate the rumen degradability of dry matter (DM), disappearance of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) of Tifton 85 hay, and fermentation parameters (pH and ruminal ammonia nitrogen) of sheep fed diets with inclusion of safflower grains (0, 7.50 and 15%). Three mixed breed lambs with average body weight of 35.50± 1.50 kg were used. The rumen degradability of dry matter and NDF of the Ti...
Effects of polymer coated slow-release urea on ruminal fermentation and nutrien...
Gardinal,Rodrigo; Gandra,Jefferson Rodrigues; Calomeni,Gustavo Delfino; Vendramini,Thiago Henrique Annibale; Takiya,Caio SeitiABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of polymer coated slow-release urea (SRU) in high-forage diets of beef steers on nutrient intake and digestibility, ruminal fermentation, microbial protein synthesis, and energy balance. Eight 24-mo-old rumen-fistulated castrated Nellore steers (average body weight = 418.0±40.0 kg) were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design. Animals were ...
Nutrient digestion, microbial protein synthesis, and blood metabolites of Jerse...
Gandra,Jefferson Rodrigues; Takiya,Caio Seiti; Oliveira,Euclides Reuter de; Paiva,Pablo Gomes de; Goes,Rafael Henrique de Tonissi e Buschinelli deABSTRACT This study was undertaken to determine the effects of chitosan and whole raw soybean on nutrient intake and total tract digestion, nitrogen utilization, microbial protein synthesis, blood metabolites, and energy balance of dairy heifers. Twelve Jersey heifers (6±0.5 months of age and 139.50±25.56 kg of live weight; mean ± standard deviation) were randomly assigned to a replicated Latin square design wi...
Soybean oil and calcium salts of fatty acids as fat sources for Holstein dairy ...
Gandra,Jefferson Rodrigues; Freitas Junior,Jose Esler de; Maturna Filho,Milton; Barletta,Rafael Villela; Verdurico,Lenita Camargo; Rennó,Francisco PalmaThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of using different lipid sources in diets for dairy cows during the transition period and early lactation on productive performance and physiological parameters in Holstein cows. The cows were fed with the following diets: 1) control; 2) Refined soybean oil; 3) Calcium salts of unsaturated fatty acids (Megalac-E). Diets were formulated to meet the nutritional requirement...
