The agricultural industry is the main emitter of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), gases that each have a global warming potential that is greater than that of CO2 by 23 and 298 times, respectively. On a global scale, enteric fermentation from ruminant animal production (especially of cattle and sheep) is responsible for between 21% and 25% of total anthropogenic CH4 emissions. The search for effective, si...
The objective was to carry out lamb carcass evaluation in a confinement system fed with 100% concentrated diet and diet with the inclusion of residual oil, in order to identify which diet provides the best performance. Fifteen male sheep, not castrated, crossbred from Dorper × Santa Inês, aged six months, confined in collective pens for 50 days were used. The treatments were as follows: Control Diet (TC) - Tift...
Objetivou-se avaliar o padrão fermentativo e a bromatologia da silagem de capim- elefante cultivar Napier com as folhas de Embaúba na proporção de 50:50 aditivada com torta de semente de cupuaçu, cana-de-açúcar e fubá de milho em diferentes níveis. O experimento foi realizado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições por tratamento. Foram testados os tratamentos (0%), (5%), (10%) e (15%) d...
The objective of this study was to determine dry matter production (DMP) and tissue flow of Tifton 85 bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) under the effect of four doses of nitrogen (NO-O, N1-45, N2-90, N3-135 mg/kg soil) in the form of nitrate of ammonium in a randomized design, with five replications. Nitrogen increased DMP of leaves and stems (p < 0.05), but it did not influence the DMP of roots, stem/leaves ratio an...
