Effects of antibiotic growth promoters mixed with mineral supplement on growth ...
Vedovatto,Marcelo; Diogo,José Mauro da Silva; Beltrame,João Artêmio Marin; D'Oliveira,Marcella Cândia; Silva,Cássio José da; Mendes,Clayton QuirinoABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the addition of antibiotic growth promoters to free-choice mineral supplement on ingestive behavior, mineral intake, and growth performance of grazing bulls. Sixty Nellore bulls [initial body weight (BW) of 219±17.8 kg and 15±2 months of age] were divided in 12 marandu grass paddocks. The treatments were: mineral supplement (control), mineral supplement + virginiamycin (VI...
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...
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...
Sulfur sources in protein supplements for ruminants
Silva,Cássio José da; Leonel,Fernando de Paula; Pereira,José Carlos; Costa,Marcone Geraldo; Moreira,Leonardo Marmo; Oliveira,Tadeu Silva deThe present study evaluates the efficiency of different sulfur sources for ruminant nutrition. The fiber digestibility and the amino acid profile were analyzed in the duodenal digesta of crossbred steers fed Brachiaria dictyoneurahay. The sources utilized were elemental sulfur (ES70S), elemental sulfur (ES98S); calcium sulfate in hydrated (HCS), CaSO4.2H2O, and anhydrous (ACS), CaSO4, forms; and ammonium sulfat...
Influence of intraruminal infusion of propionic acid and forage to concentrate ...
Ribeiro,Marinaldo Divino; Pereira,José Carlos; Queiroz,Augusto César de; Bettero,Vitor Pereira; Mantovani,Hilário Cuquetto; Silva,Cássio José daThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of intraruminal infusion of propionic acid (RPA) associated to two (80:20 and 60:40) forage:concentrate ratios (FCR), for young bulls. Four Holstein × Zebu crossbred young bulls with average age of 7 months and 160 kg of body weight (BW) were distributed to a 4 × 4 Latin square design. A total mixed ration, isonitrogenous diets, was ad libitum fed to animals. The propioni...
Consórcio capim-braquiária e milho: comportamento produtivo das culturas e cara...
Leonel,Fernando de Paula; Pereira,José Carlos; Costa,Marcone Geraldo; De Marco Júnior,Paulo; Silva,Cássio José da; Lara,Luciano AurélioNesta pesquisa, o objetivo foi avaliar as diferenças entre silagens de culturas exclusivas ou do consórcio de milho e capim-braquiária, além de dois arranjos de semeadura do consórcio (duas fileiras de capim-braquiária nas entrelinhas do milho; e semeadura de capim-braquiária a lanço nas entrelinhas do milho). Avaliaram-se as produções de matéria seca (MS), proteína bruta (PB) e nutrientes digestíveis totais (N...
Consórcio capim-braquiária e soja, produtividade das culturas e características...
Leonel,Fernando de Paula; Pereira,José Carlos; Costa,Marcone Geraldo; De Marco Júnior,Paulo; Lara,Luciano Aurélio; Sousa,Daniel de PaulaObjetivou-se avaliar o cultivo de capim-braquiária e soja em consórcio ou exclusivamente. Avaliaram-se a produção de matéria seca (MS) e os teores de proteína bruta (PB) e nutrientes digestíveis totais (NDT) por hectare; os teores de proteína bruta, fibra em detergente neutro (FDN), lignina (LIG), carboidratos não-fibrosos (CNF), NDT, ácido butírico e ácido lático; o nitrogênio amoniacal; o teor de MS e o pH da...
