Water restriction periods affect growth performance and nutritional status of S...
Souza, Larissa Lopes de; Araújo, Gherman Garcia Leal de; Turco, Silvia Helena Nogueira; Moraes, Salete Alves de; Voltolini, Tadeu VinhasThis study aimed to assess the growth performance and nutritional status of sheep under intermittent water supply by means of performance, intake, apparent digestibility of nutrients, water balance and nitrogen. Thirty-two intact male sheep (20.7 ± 2.63 kg, 8 months of age) were distributed in a completely randomized design with 4 water supply intervals via drinking trough (0h00, 24h00, 48h00, and 72h00), with ...
Chemical composition and morphophysiological responses of Manihot plants
Lima, Anderson Emanuel Severo de; Mota, Marianna Oliveira da; Gois, Glayciane Costa; Amorim, Jaíne Santos; Menezes, Daniel RibeiroCassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important forage source for livestock, while wild cassavas (maniçoba and pornunça – Manihot sp.), native from Brazilian semi-arid have the potential to feed ruminants in drylands. We hypothesized that maniçoba and pornunça have a chemical composition and morphophysiological responses similar to cassava cultivars. Nine Manihot plants were evaluated, six wild cassava acces...
EFFECT OF PROPOLIS OF AFRICANIZED BEES IN THE RUMEN MICROORGANISMS.
Peixoto, Joana Paula Nascimento; Rodrigues, Adriana Evangelista; Gois, Glayciane CostaObjetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar o efeito dos extratos aquoso e alcoólico da própolis sobre a viabilidade dos protozoários do rúmen de bovino, como também verificar a ação destes extratos controlando o pH do líquido ruminal. Os extratos aquoso e alcoólico de própolis foram usados nas proporções de 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 e 10%, adicionando-se 1ml de extrato em cada 4ml de líquido ruminal em tubos de ensaio, com três r...
