The aim of this study was to evaluate nutritional value, fermentation losses, and aerobic stability of elephant grass silage (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) treated with exogenous fibrolytic enzymes. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four replicates (experimental silos) and five levels of fibrolytic enzymes (0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0%). For this, the elephant grass was ensiled at ...

O objetivo com este trabalho foi avaliar estratégias de suplementação sobre o consumo de suplemento, comportamento e desempenho de novilhos zebuínos mantidos em pastagem de capim-marandu (Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu) diferido. Foi utilizado delineamento inteiramente casualizado para testar cinco estratégias de suplementação: sal mineral (SM), sal proteinado com 25% de ureia (SP) e três multimisturas (45,5% N...
Pasture fertilization increase s forage production and stocking rate. However, forage should contain enough nutrients to animal production . The aim of this work was to evaluate increas ing doses of N (101.5; 145.0; 188.5, and 232.0 kg ha-1), keeping N-P-K relation 1-0.07-1, on chemical composition and digestibility of Tanzania and Mombaça grasses under rotational stocking . The experiment was conducted at Facu...
This trial was carried out to evaluate the effects of coffee hulls inclusion (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%; natural basis) on fermentation and nutritional traits of elephantgrass silage. A completely randomized design with four replications was used to compare treatments average, while plastic bags were used as experimental silos. Coffee hulls inclusion increased DM contents linearly and changed the fiber compound...
A completely randomized trial was conducted in order to evaluate the hydrogen ion concentration (pH), total titratable acidity and methylene blue reduction time test in rumen fluid of cross bred and raced goats, grazing on grasslands and rangelands of semi arid regions of Brazil, during rainy and dry season of the year. A 2³ factorial arrangement was used to analyse the experiment (two types of bread, pasture a...
