This work was carried out to study the effects of corn grain replacement with glycerin (812 g of glycerol per kg/DM) and vegetable oils (cashew and castor) on the carcass characteristics and meat quality of Purunã bulls finished in a feedlot. A total of 32 Purunã bulls (¼ Aberdeen Angus + ¼ Caracu + ¼ Charolaise + ¼ Canchim) with a mean age of 12 ± 2.0 months and a mean body weight 206.1 ± 20.0 kg were distribu...

Assessment of the productive efficiency of 30 primiparous Aberdeen Angus cows of different body sizes, classified at calving as heavy (375±10.5 kg) or light (283±7.7 kg), and different total milk-yield levels, classified as high (868±24.5 kg) or low (547±18.3 kg). Heavy cows were superior in weight at calving and weaning, but there were no differences in milk yield and weight at birth and weaning of calves....
The aim of this work was the replacement evaluation of corn by dry by-product of cassava starch extraction on carcass traits of crossbreed heifers in feedlot. Thirty crossbred heifers aged 21 months were used. In pre-experimental period (49 days) the heifers were fed with soybean meal and corn concentrate (19.67% CP). In the experimental period (57 days) 15 heifers were fed with the previous diet and the other ...
