Associations of days open with milk urea nitrogen and other herd traits in dair...
Almeida,Rodrigo de; Doska,Maria Cecília; Horst,José Augusto; Valloto,Altair Antônio; Santos,Geraldo Tadeu dos; Lima,Luciano Soares deABSTRACT We evaluated the association of monthly milk urea N (MUN) concentrations before conception and days open in high-producing dairy cows from commercial herds in Southern Brazil. Other herd traits were also investigated regarding their relationship with days open. A database containing 16,569 monthly test-day records (obtained from 3,926 lactations of 2,145 cows) for productive, reproductive, and milk qua...
Oocyte production in Nellore cows supplemented with long-chain fatty acid soaps
Souza,Moacir Rogério de; Santos,Geraldo Tadeu dos; Lima,Luciano Soares de; Mazucheli,Josmar; Zeoula,Lúcia Maria; Rigolon,Luiz PauloABSTRACT This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of long-chain fatty acid soaps (LCFAS) of soybean oil on the production and quality of aspirated cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC) of lactating Nellore (Bos taurus indicus) cows. The effects of LCFAS on the plasma concentration of lipoproteins, total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, urea N, and insulin were also addressed. Thirty lactating Nellore cows were ra...
Effect of whole oilseeds feeding on performance and nutritive values of diets o...
Grande,Paula Adriana; Alcalde,Claudete Regina; Lima,Luciano Soares de; Zambom,Maximiliane Alavarse; Macedo,Francisco de Assis Fonseca deTwenty-eight Saanen goat kids (16 non-castrated males and 12 females; 14.38±1.60 kg) were used to evaluate the performance and nutritional value of diets. Animals were randomly allotted into a 4x2 (diets x gender) factorial arrangement. Treatments consisted of four different total mixed diets composed of oat hay, soybean meal, mineral supplement, and/or oilseeds replacing ground corn (on dry matter basis), as f...

Santos,Geraldo Tadeu dos; Schogor,Ana Luiza Bachmann; Romero,Jakeline Vieira; Lima,Luciano Soares de; Matumoto-Pintro,Paula ToshimiFour lactating Holstein cows were assigned to a 4 × 4 Latin square design to determine the effects of feeding sticky coffee hull (SCH) as a source of antioxidants on dairy cows fed with high PUFA diets. The treatments (on DM basis) were control diet, diet with 30 g/kg of soybean oil, diet with 30 g/kg of soybean oil and 100 g/kg of SCH, and diet with 30 g/kg of soybean oil and 150 g/kg of SCH. Inclusion of 150 ...
Nutritive value of diets containing inactive dry yeast for lactating Saanen goats
Gomes,Ludmila Couto; Alcalde,Claudete Regina; Lima,Larissa Ribas de; Lima,Luciano Soares de; Souza,Rodrigo de; Possamai,Ana Paula SilvaTwenty-four Saanen goats, 15 multiparous and nine primiparous, were distributed in a completely randomised design in a factorial arrangement (3 diets × 2 parities). The treatments were soybean meal (SB), soybean + dry yeast (SBDY), or dry yeast (DY) as a protein source in the diet, and ground corn, mineral supplement, and corn silage (400 g/kg). The study was conducted to evaluate the nutritive value of diets c...
Performance of dairy goats fed diets with dry yeast from sugar cane as protein ...
Lima,Luciano Soares de; Alcalde,Claudete Regina; Freitas,Hanna Sakamoto; Molina,Bruna Susan de Labio; Macedo,Francisco de Assis Fonseca deThe effects of inactive dry yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) from sugar cane were studied in 18 primiparus Saanen dairy goats (51.07±1.43) on dry matter intake and digestibility, milk production and quality. Animals were distributed in a completely randomized design during 90 days (from day 60 of milking). Diets were composed of soybean meal; soybean meal + dry yeast; or dry yeast, as protein sources, and groun...
Performance of lactating goats fed diets containing inactive dry yeast
Gomes,Ludmila Couto; Alcalde,Claudete Regina; Macedo,Francisco de Assis Fonseca de; Santos,Geraldo Tadeu dos; Valloto,Altair AntônioTwenty-four Saanen goats (15 multiparous and 9 primiparous) from 21 days prepartum to 200 days in lactation were used to evaluate milk yield and composition. Animals were randomly distributed in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement (3 diets × 2 parity orders) and fed a 40:60 forage:concentrate diet composed of soybean meal, soybean meal + dry yeast or dry yeast as protein source, plus ground corn, mineral supplement a...
Sugar cane dry yeast in feeding for growing and finishing goat kids
Lima,Luciano Soares de; Alcalde,Claudete Regina; Macedo,Francisco de Assis Fonseca de; Lima,Larissa Ribas de; Martins,Elias NunesIt was used 27 goat kids (18 ¾ Boer + ¼ Saanen and nine Saanen; 18.0 ± 1.60 kg) distributed in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement to evaluate productive performance and the total digestibility of dry matter and nutrients in the rations. Diets were composed of soybean meal, soybean meal + dry yeast or dry yeast as protein source, oat hay, ground corn and vitamin-mineral mixture with mean c...
Quantitative characteristics of carcass and meat quality of ¾ Boer + ¼ Saanen a...
Freitas,Hanna Sakamoto; Alcalde,Claudete Regina; Lima,Luciano Soares de; Macedo,Francisco de Assis Fonseca de; Macedo,Vicente de PauloTwenty-seven carcasses of non-castrated confined goat kids, (18 ¾ Boer + ¼ Saanen and nine Saanen) with slaughtered weight of 30.1 ± 0.27 kg were used to evaluate quantitative characteristics of the carcass and qualitative characteristics of the loin and shoulder. The animals were distributed in a completely randomized design in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement (breed group × diet). The diets consisted of inclusio...
Oilseeds in feeding for growing and finishing ¾ Boer + ¼ Saanen goat kids
Alcalde,Claudete Regina; Grande,Paula Adriana; Lima,Luciano Soares de; Macedo,Francisco de Assis Fonseca de; Zeoula,Lucia Maria; Paula,Meiby Carneiro deIn order to evaluate the use of oilseeds in the diet of goat kids, two experiments were performed. Experimental treatments consisted of four different total mixed diets, all containing oat hay, ground corn, soybean meal and mineral supplement, and differing in oilseeds inclusion (dry matter basis), according to the treatments: 1) control (without oilseeds), 2) diet containing 7.87% flaxseed, 3) diet with 7.30% ...
