No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-06-10; Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia de Ciência Animal; Microbial crude protein (MCP) produced in rumen could be estimated by a variety of protocols of experimental sampling and analysis. However, a model to estimate this value is necessary when protein requirements are calculated for small rumina...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of five feeding strategies on calf weaning weight, and cow milk production and composition in Brazilian Holstein × Zebu cows. A total of 60 cows and their calves were allocated to each of five treatments. Cows in treatments 1, 2 and 3 were milked for 270 days and cows in treatments 4 and 5 were milked for 180 days. Calves in treatment 1 (CON) were not suppl...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the productive and biological efficiency of steers and heifers from dairy genetics in a feedlot system in terms of meat production. Twenty-four steers and 24 heifers at 10 monthes of age, (3/4) Zebu × (1/4) Holstein were utilized. They were distributed over four feedlot times, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days with four replications for each sex, and were slaughtered at the end of e...
Beef cattle (24) with an average initial body weight of 417 ± 54 kg were assigned in a 2 × 2 factorial design with six repetitions. The factors studied were two levels of CP: 11 (low CP) or 13 % (high CP) in the initial feedlot phase (days 1–36) and in the final phase (days 37–72). After 36 days, half of the bulls fed with each level of CP were selected to reverse the CP level. No interaction was observed (P > ...
The objectives of this study were to: (1) quantify the relationship between fasting body weight (FBW, kg) and urinary creatinine excretion (UCE, mg/d) in Boer goats; (2) evaluate the urinary volume estimates obtained from creatinine concentrations in the spot samples collected at different time points; (3) compare them with the 24-h observed urine volume. Thirty growing Boer goats (18 ± 2.2 kg initial BW) were ...
The objective of this study was to evaluate intake, digestibility and nitrogen (N) compounds use efficiency in F1 Holstein × Zebu grazing cows. Eighteen crossbred cows (six Holstein × Gir, six Holstein × Guzerat, and six Holstein × Nellore) were used in the experiment, constituting three experimental treatments in simple random samples, under the same feeding conditions. At the estimation of individual intake a...
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o efeito dos grupos genéticos e níveis dietéticos de proteína bruta (PB) sobre o consumo, os locais de digestão dos constituintes da dieta, a excreção dos compostos nitrogenados e a absorção de aminoácidos no intestino delgado de bovinos de corte. Objetivou-se também, quantificar a síntese de PB microbiana utiliza...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; The present work was developed starting from three experiments described in two chapters. In chapter one, the first experiment, aimed on evaluate the fermentative profile of sugarcane silage treated or not with calcium oxide, the experiment two, evaluate intake, the apparent digestibility and the performance of cattle fed on to different diets constit...
