The objective of this work was to evaluate the silage quality, fermentation profile, intake, and digestibility of six sorghum cultivars for sheep feeding. 'SF 15', 'IPA 2502', 'BRS 655', 'BR 601', 'BRS 506', and 'Sudão' were cultivated in randomized complete block designs with five replicates, harvested, and ensiled when plants reached the soft-dough grain stage. Silage quality was determined in laboratory silo...

Tick resistance in cattle is mainly found in zebu (Bos indicus) animals, although it is also present in some taurine (B. taurus) breeds. In order to characterize functional genes involved in tick resistance/susceptibility in cattle, two cDNA libraries were generated using skin tissues of selected Holstein x Gyr animals. A total of 2700 high-quality reads from both resistant and susceptible cDNA were assembled i...
The objective of this study was to assess agronomic characteristics of five corn cultivars (BRS 1055, BRS 3035, BRS 2022, SÃO JOSÉ and BRS CAIMBÉ) recommended for silage production in Pernambuco State. At this productivity of green matter (PGM), productivity of dry matter (PDM), number of corn ears (NCE), plant height (PH), ear insertion height (EIH), plant population (PP), percentage of broken plants (PBP) and...
ABSTRACT: In this study, we evaluated the productivity of green matter (PGM); productivity of dry matter (PDM); plant height (PH); percentage of lodged plants (PLP); percentage of broken plants (PBP); and proportions of panicle, stem, and leaf in the GM and DM of five sorghum genotypes (SF15, 2502, BRS655, BR506, BR601) indicated for the agreste region of Pernambuco State to assess their production of silage. T...

[Nascimento de fetos viáveis após transferência de embriões não-cirúrgica em caprinos]. Resumo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a viabilidade da técnica de transferência não cirúrgica em cabras. Quatro cabras não-lactantes pluríparas da raça Toggenburg foram utilizadas como receptoras de embriões, sendo que duas receberam um embriões e duas receberam dois embriões coletados não cirurgicamente cabras d...
