No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-06-10; Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia de Ciência Animal; Microbial crude protein (MCP) produced in rumen could be estimated by a variety of protocols of experimental sampling and analysis. However, a model to estimate this value is necessary when protein requirements are calculated for small rumina...
Beef cattle (24) with an average initial body weight of 417 ± 54 kg were assigned in a 2 × 2 factorial design with six repetitions. The factors studied were two levels of CP: 11 (low CP) or 13 % (high CP) in the initial feedlot phase (days 1–36) and in the final phase (days 37–72). After 36 days, half of the bulls fed with each level of CP were selected to reverse the CP level. No interaction was observed (P > ...
The main focus of this work was to verify the hypothesis that there are differences between cattle and sheep to obtain internal markers in tropical forages using in situ ruminal incubation. A presupposition that the indigestible fraction is exclusively inherent to feed was considered, and its ruminal incubation in different animal species should not change the estimate of this fraction; but should change the mi...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutrient intake and milk production in Holstein × zebu (F1) cows in feedlot. Eighteen F1 cows were used, divided into three treatments; six were Holstein × Gir (HGI), six were Holstein × Guzerat (HGU), and another six were Holstein × Nelore (HNE), which had recently calved, distributed into simple, random samples, under the same feeding conditions of corn silage a...
This study assessed the intake, total and partial apparent digestibility of nutrients, pH, ruminal ammonia concentration, nitrogen efficiency usage, and productive performance of beef cattle fed with different soybean meal replacement levels with inactive dry yeast (IDY 0, 250, 500, 750, and 1000 g/kg). The forage:concentrate ratio was 60:40 and the forage source was corn silage. Concentrates were formulated to...
Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu silages (BBS) were ensiled at two (35 and 70 d) regrowth ages (RA), with and without microbial inoculant (MI). No differences were observed regarding the chemical composition and fermentation parameters, with the exception of volatile fatty acids, which were affected by MI and RA interaction. No effects were observed on total nutrient digestibility in beef steers. The ruminal di...
The objectives of this study were to: (1) quantify the relationship between fasting body weight (FBW, kg) and urinary creatinine excretion (UCE, mg/d) in Boer goats; (2) evaluate the urinary volume estimates obtained from creatinine concentrations in the spot samples collected at different time points; (3) compare them with the 24-h observed urine volume. Thirty growing Boer goats (18 ± 2.2 kg initial BW) were ...
Avaliou-se a influência do fornecimento de concentrados à base de farelo de soja ou farelo de algodão em dietas com silagem de milho sobre o balanço de nitrogênio e a produção de proteína microbiana em fêmeas leiteiras em crescimento. As dietas foram constituídas da combinação de dois níveis de concentrado (1 ou 2 kg) e duas fontes proteicas (farelo de soja ou farelo de algodão). Os animais que consumiram conce...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of replacing wheat bran by spineless cactus (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%) in sugar cane-based diets on intake and nutrient digestibility and ruminal parameters of sheep. Five sheep (Santa Inês; average initial weight of 34.0±3.6 kg) were fitted with cannulas in the rumen and then assigned to a 5 × 5 Latin square design. The maximum dry matter (DM; 1414 g d−1), ...
The objective of this study was to evaluate intake, digestibility and nitrogen (N) compounds use efficiency in F1 Holstein × Zebu grazing cows. Eighteen crossbred cows (six Holstein × Gir, six Holstein × Guzerat, and six Holstein × Nellore) were used in the experiment, constituting three experimental treatments in simple random samples, under the same feeding conditions. At the estimation of individual intake a...
