Intake, total apparent digestibility, and microbial efficiency of sheep fed pin...
Cordeiro,Camila da Conceição; Fernandes,Alberto Magno; Oliveira,Tadeu Silva de; Camilo,Michele Gabriel; Baffa,Danielle FerreiraABSTRACT The study aimed to nutritionally evaluate the silage of pineapple crop waste in sheep feeding in different planes of nutrition (L). We used eight growing sheep and four male castrated adults, in individual metabolic cages distributed in a switch-back design with two treatments and three periods. The treatments were the different planes of nutrition: L = MEI⁄Mm, MEI⁄1.5Mm, and MEI⁄2.5Mm, in which L = ME...
Carcass traits and meat quality of Brangus × Zebu steers in grazing systems rec...
Valle,Felipe Roberto Amaral Ferreira do; Fontes,Carlos Augusto de Alencar; Fernandes,Alberto Magno; Oliveira,Tadeu Silva de; Processi,Elizabeth FonsecaABSTRACT: The use of supplements eliminates deficiencies imposed by pasture, increases weight gain in animals and maximizes profits from the activity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance, carcass traits and meat quality of steers in grazing systems that received or did not receive a protein energy supplement at the level of 0.6 % body weight. The experiment lasted 160 days and included 3...
Simulation of diets for dairy goats and growing doelings using nonlinear optimi...
Glória,Leonardo Siqueira; Abreu,Matheus Lima Corrêa; Rocha,Norberto Silva; Oliveira,Tadeu Silva de; Gomes,Raphael dos SantosABSTRACT The objective of this study was to simulate total dry matter intake and cost of diets optimized by nonlinear programming to meet the nutritional requirements of dairy does and growing doelings. The mathematical model was programmed in a Microsoft Excel(r) spreadsheet. Increasing values of body mass and average daily weight gain for growing doelings and increasing body mass values and milk yield for dai...
Intake and digestibility of silages containing pineapple pulp and coast-cross h...
Alves,Guilherme Ribeiro; Fontes,Carlos Augusto de Alencar; Fernandes,Alberto Magno; Processi,Elizabeth Fonsêca; Oliveira,Tadeu Silva deABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the intake and digestibility of silages containing pineapple pulp and coast-cross hay, with or without addition of urea, and the recovery of the markers chromium oxide (Cr2O3), indigestible neutral detergent fiber (iNDF), indigestible acid detergent fiber (iADF), and indigestible dry matter (iDM), in a digestibility assay, in sheep. Treatments were as follows...
Kinetics of digestion of low-quality forage grazed by beef cattle fed supplemen...
Gomes,Raphael dos Santos; Oliveira,Tadeu Silva de; Pereira,José Carlos; Vieira,Ricardo Augusto Mendonça; Silva,Cássio José da; Leonel,Fernando de PaulaABSTRACT This experiment was conducted to evaluate the degradation kinetics and microbial efficiency of beef cattle grazing on low-quality forage and receiving supplements with different levels of rumen undegradable protein (RUP). The animals grazed on palisade grass pasture solely or this pasture and supplement containing 40 or 60 g of RUP per 100 g of crude protein (CP). The degradation profiles of neutral de...
Performance and metabolite profile of dairy cows fed tropical grasses and conce...
Gomes,Raphael dos Santos; Oliveira,Tadeu Silva de; Pereira,José Carlos; Vieira,Ricardo Augusto Mendonça; Henrique,Douglas SampaioABSTRACT Ten Holstein-Zebu crossbred cows distributed into two simultaneous Latin squares (5 × 5) as a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement formed by chopped sugarcane or elephant grass silage, both with high or low protein degradability supplements and a corn silage as a control treatment, were compared using orthogonal contrasts. The studied variables were the performance, plasma concentrations of urea-N, glucose, and...
Slow-release urea in diets for lactating crossbred cows
Santiago,Bruno Tadeu; Villela,Severino Delmar Junqueira; Leonel,Fernando de Paula; Zervoudakis,Joanis Tilemahos; Araújo,Raphael PavesiThe objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of F1 (Holstein × Zebu) cows in lactation according to different levels of substitution of soybean meal for a protein equivalent non-protein nitrogen originated from slow-release urea (SRU). Eight F1 (Holstein × Zebu) cows in the first third of lactation, with an average milk yield of 12.7 kg (±3.1 kg)/day and a live weight of 552 kg (±30 kg), were use...
Performance and digestibility of steers fed by-product of fresh passion fruit o...
Alves,Guilherme Ribeiro; Fontes,Carlos Augusto de Alencar; Processi,Elizabeth Fonsêca; Fernandes,Alberto Magno; Oliveira,Tadeu Silva deABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritive value of passion fruit by-product for cattle, contrasting the results with those found with sorghum silage. Four treatments were then constituted, comprising the combinations of the two roughages and the two levels of supplementation (with or without), in a completely randomized design with four animals per treatment. The considered variables inc...
Yield, chemical composition, and efficiency of use of nitrogen by Marandu grass
Oliveira,Tadeu Silva de; Leonel,Fernando de Paula; Pereira,José Carlos; Silva,Cássio José da; Baffa,Danielle Ferreira; Zervoudakis,Joanis TilemahosThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of five nitrogen doses on the productive and quality characteristics and the use efficiency of Brachiaria brizanthacv. Marandu grass. The treatments consisted of four doses of nitrogen (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kg ha-1), distributed through a completely randomized design with four replicates. Samples of the material were collected to analyze productivity var...
Factors affecting feed efficiency in dairy goats
Oliveira,Tadeu Silva de; Leonel,Fernando de Paula; Silva,Cássio José da; Baffa,Danielle Ferreira; Pereira,José Carlos; Zervoudakis,Joanis TilemahosThe objective of this study was to present some factors affecting feed efficiency in dairy goats. To develop our work, individual and average data from performance experiments with lactating goats were used. The following variables were evaluated: gross feed efficiency, adjusted feed efficiency, dry matter intake, milk-yield, 3.5% fat-corrected milk yield, dry matter digestibility, dietary neutral detergent fib...
