Chemical composition in soybean silages with inoculant and molasses
Rosa,Lilian Oliveira; Pereira,Odilon Gomes; Ribeiro,Karina Guimarães; Valadares Filho,Sebastião de Campos; Cecon,Paulo RobertoAbstract Chemical composition was assessed in soybean silages without any additive (control), with a microbial inoculant (I), with I + molasses (I+M), and with molasses only (M). Soybean plants were harvested at the reproductive 6 (R6) stage and ensiled in 2 kg-capacity PVC laboratory silos. The SIL ALL C4 inoculant produced by Alltech Brazil was used in combination with or without 2.5% molasses added to the na...
Macromineral requirements of Holstein calves
Rodrigues,João Paulo Pacheco; Lima,Jéssika Carolina Moutinho; Castro,Marcelo Messias Duarte; Valadares Filho,Sebastião de Campos; Chizzotti,Mario LuizAbstract: The objective of this work was to quantify the net requirements for the maintenance (NRm) and growth (NRg), as well as the retention coefficient (RC) of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and magnesium, of Holstein calves. The NRm were 87.8, 20.8, 4.36, 2.21, and 1.01 mg kg-1 of empty body weight for Ca, P, Na, K, and Mg, respectively. The RC was 0.882, 0.473, 0.274, 0.088, and 0.052 for Ca, P, Na...
Evaluation of acid digestion techniques to estimate chromium contents in cattle...
Rocha,Gabriel Cipriano; Palma,Malber Nathan Nobre; Detmann,Edenio; Valadares Filho,Sebastião de CamposThe objective of this work was to evaluate the accuracy of digestion techniques using nitric and perchloric acid at the ratios of 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 v v-1, in one- or two-step digestion, to estimate chromium contents in cattle feces, using sodium molybdate as a catalyst. Fecal standards containing known chromium contents (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 g kg-1) were produced from feces of five animals. The chromium conten...
Protein contamination on Klason lignin contents in tropical grasses and legumes
Detmann,Edenio; Franco,Marcia de Oliveira; Gomes,Daiany Íris; Barbosa,Marcília Medrado; Valadares Filho,Sebastião de CamposThe objective of this work was to evaluate the extent of protein contamination on Klason lignin (KL) in tropical grasses and legumes, and to propose an equation to estimate the protein-free content of Klason lignin (KLp). Five grass (30 samples) and 12 legume species (31 samples) were evaluated. Legumes had higher KL contents. Protein contamination was significant in both grasses and legumes, but greater in leg...
Urea in sugarcane-based diets for dairy cows
Santiago,Alberto Magno Ferreira; Campos,José Maurício de Souza; Oliveira,André Soares de; Valadares Filho,Sebastião de Campos; Santos,Stefanie AlvarengaWe evaluated the effect of adding four levels (0, 4, 8 and 12 g/kg, as fed) of a mixture (9:1) of urea and ammonium sulfate (UAs) to sugarcane on feed intake and digestibility, productive performance and metabolism of nitrogen compounds of dairy cows. Twelve multiparous Holstein cows (12.6±0.5 kg/d of milk, 225±90 days in milk) were distributed in three 4 × 4 Latin squares, receiving diets with the same amount ...
Nutritional performance of cattle grazing on low-quality tropical forage supple...
Lazzarini,Ísis; Detmann,Edenio; Paulino,Mário Fonseca; Valadares Filho,Sebastião de Campos; Valadares,Rilene Ferreira Diniz; Oliveira,Fabrício AlbaniThe objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of protein and/or starch supplementation on the nutritional performance of cattle grazing on low-quality tropical forage. Five crossbred steers (Holstein × Gyr) with an average body weight (BW) of 397 kg that were fitted with ruminal and abomasal cannulae were used. The animals were kept in individual signal-grass (Bracharia decumbens) paddocks. Five treatm...
Taxa de deposição de tecidos corporais de novilhas Nelore e suas cruzas com Ang...
Souza,Evaristo Jorge Oliveira de; Valadares Filho,Sebastião de Campos; Guim,Adriana; Valadares,Rilene Ferreira Diniz; Paulino,Pedro Veiga RodriguesObjetivou-se avaliar a taxa de deposição de tecidos corporais de novilhas Nelore e suas cruzas com Angus e Simental. Foram utilizadas 57 novilhas de três grupos genéticos, das quais 19 eram do grupo Nelore, 19 Angus e 19 Simental, destas 12 (4 de cada grupo genético) foram abatidas no início do experimento (grupo referência) para estimativa da composição da carcaça dos demais animais. Outras 36 novilhas (12 ani...
Uso de técnicas de regressão na avaliação, em bovinos de corte, da eficiência d...
Detmann,Edenio; Valadares Filho,Sebastião de Campos; Gionbelli,Mateus Pies; Paulino,Pedro Veiga Rodrigues; Paulino,Mário FonsecaObjetivou-se neste estudo propor e discutir um método de avaliação comparativa da eficiência de conversão do alimento em produto entre dois grupos experimentais de bovinos de corte baseado na utilização de técnicas de regressão. Os procedimentos matemáticos e estatísticos foram desenvolvidos a partir de banco de dados formado pela mensuração do consumo de matéria seca e do ganho médio diário em 380 bovinos zebu...
Evaluation of sodium sulfite and protein correction in analyses of fibrous comp...
Gomes,Daiany Íris; Detmann,Edenio; Valadares Filho,Sebastião de Campos; Mezzomo,Rafael; Souza,Natália Krish de Paiva; Queiroz,Augusto César deThe objective of this study was to evaluate the contents of fibrous compounds in tropical grasses and legumes according to utilization of sodium sulfite in the neutral detergent solution or using a procedure for contaminant protein correction. Samples of ten grasses and ten legumes were used. The contents of neutral detergent fiber were decreased when sodium sulfite was used; however, more prominent reductions ...
Chemical composition and fermentative losses of sugar cane ensilage with differ...
Magalhães,Felipe Antunes; Valadares Filho,Sebastião de Campos; Menezes,Gustavo Chamon de Castro; Machado,Marcelo Grossi; Zanetti,DiegoThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sugar cane ensilage with different Brix degrees, with or without the addition of 0.5% of calcium oxide (lime) on the chemical composition and fermentation losses of silages. A complete random design in a 9 × 2 factorial arrangement was used. Experimental silos were used, ensilage was done every 15 days with Brix measuring, and they were opened after 30 d...
