Reproductive behavior of Pantaneiros sheep, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

The objective was to evaluate fertility, cyclicality behavior, and sexual performance of Pantaneiro sheep throughout the year’s photoperiods in Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil. Two experiments were conducted. In experiment one, the ewes used aged between 2 and 4 years, distributed in three homogeneous groups of 54 animals and subjected to reproductive evaluation in three different predefined luminosity periods, con...

Discrimination study between the carcass and non-carcass components for interac...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the yields, morphometric measures, carcass, and non-carcass components, and carcass regional and tissue composition of an indigenous sheep (Pantaneiro) of different physiological stages (gender, age, system production). Demonstrate the productive potential of locally adapted animals is essential for their conservation, and also identify characteristics that need improv...

Total replacement of the soybean by crambe and canola grains in the feeding of ...

It was proposed to verify the effect of the total substitution of soy by canola and crambe grains in the diet of crossbred lambs, in order to evaluate the chemical, instrumental and sensory characteristics of the meat of the animals fed under these grains. Twenty-three samples of the Longissimus lumborum muscle were used, from SRD lambs (mixed breed), non-castrated males, with an average age of 70 days, average...

Effect of sugarcane treated with non-protein nitrogen and hydrolyzed with calci...

This study examines the effect of sugarcane hydrolyzed with calcium oxide (quicklime) associated with non-protein nitrogen (a mixture of urea and ammonium sulfate) on nutrient intake, rumen degradability and kinetics, intestinal digestibility and blood and urinary parameters in dairy steers. The treatments consisted of fresh sugarcane (Sc); fresh sugarcane with urea (ScUr); sugarcane hydrolyzed with quicklime (...

Suplementação com probióticos e aminoácidos no desempenho de novilhos de corte:...

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o ganho de peso de novilhos suplementados com probióticos e aminoácidos, por meio da análise de identidade de modelos. Foram utilizados 64 novilhos castrados da raça Canchim e cruzados Canchim x Nelore com 24 ± 1,8 meses de idade e peso corpóreo inicial de 395,4 ± 10,5 kg, mantidos em pastagem de Brachiaria brizantha em sistema de pastejo contínuo. Foram testados quatro trata...

Meat quality of Pantaneiro lambs at different body weights

The aim of this study was to assess the meat quality of Pantaneiro lambs finished in confinement and slaughtered at different body weights (15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 kg). Forty-five non-castrated male Pantaneiro lambs were distributed in a completely randomized design, with five treatments and nine replicates. The animals were housed in individual pens and slaughtered when they reached the target weights. For inst...

Influência da monensina sódica no consumo e na digestibilidade de dietas com di...

Foram alojados 25 ovinos castrados em gaiolas para estudos de metabolismo por 20 dias com o objetivo de determinar a influência da monensina na digestibilidade de dietas formuladas com diferentes teores de proteína. As dietas foram compostas de 11,4 e 16,5% de PB na MS, sendo constituídas de 65% de feno de capim-braquiária (Brachiaria decumbens) e 35% de concentrado, com inclusão ou não de 28 mg de monensina/kg...

Desempenho de novilhas Holandesas confinadas com dietas com diferentes níveis d...

Objetivou-se avaliar a influência do ionóforo monensina sódica no consumo, no ganho de peso, na conversão alimentar e nas alturas de cernelha e garupa de novilhas em confinamento e determinar os custos com alimentação. Utilizaram-se 28 novilhas da raça Holandesa confinadas individualmente por 84 dias e alimentadas com dietas contendo 32,84% de concentrado (grão de milho, farelo de soja, ureia e mistura mineral)...

Crude glycerin in the diets of confined lambs: performance, carcass traits and ...

The crude glycerin is a byproduct of the biodiesel industry which has high levels of glycerol and can be utilized by ruminants for obtaining energy. This research was conducted in order to evaluate the performance, carcass characteristics and economic feasibility of lambs fed diets containing crude glycerin replacing ground corn. 24 non-castrated lambs (Pantaneiro racial grouping) at 90 days of age and average ...
