The accumulation of industrial by-products increases the use of sweet potato waste for ruminants, but ruminal pH characteristics are still not well known. The objective was to assess the fluctuation of ruminal pH in sheep supplemented with different levels of sweet potato flour inclusion in their diet. Four rumen-fistulated sheep were used; they were fed a diet based on ryegrass haylage (Lolium multiflorum) and...
This study evaluated the effect of different supplements during winter on the performance of heifers in a native Pampa biome field using deferred grazing and evaluated the economic viability of each treatment. A total of 124 heifers from Brangus and Angus breeds, 18 months old, and with an average weight of 301.6 kg were included in this experiment. The treatments applied were: control with only native grasslan...
O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os parâmetros que impactam na interface planta-animal e nutrição de bovinos em função dos diferentes níveis de intensificação da pastagem nativa do Bioma Pampa. O experimento teve início em agosto de 2015 e finalizado em maio de 2017. Porém, o processo das intensificações dos tratamentos começou em março de 2015. A área destinada para o experimento foi de aproximadamente ...
The spring forage emptiness is an obstacle to the development of Brazilian livestock, including in the Bioma Pampa region. Feed strategies for this period contributed to the development of livestock and to the conservation of the biome. The objective of this work was to know the nutritional potential of forages during spring forage for use as strategies in the forage planning. The experiment had a completely ra...
