The present study aimed to evaluate the dry matter production of different corn hybrids, the plant chemical composition at the time of ensiling and the participation of the structural components of the plant at the different phenological stages. Corn hybrids P2530, P30B39H and P30R50H were harvested successively at the kernel blister (R2); kernel milk (R3); kernel dough (R4); and kernel dent (R5) stages. We det...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the production and physical composition of three maize hybrids (Zea mays, L.) for silage production at six maturity stages. The hybrids evaluated were Maximus VIP3, Defender VIP and Feroz VIP. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with four replicates. The mean plant heights observed at harvest time (2.33 m, 2.45 m and 2.40 m) demonstrat...
The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the productivity, nutritional value and degradability of forage and silage of wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. BRS Umbu) and black oats (Avena strigosa cv. Embrapa 139), preceded by successive cuts, harvested at the hard dough stage, subjected or not to treatment with pyraclostrobin fungicide. Plants were harvested manually with a height of 0.08 m from the ground surf...
Objetivou-se avaliar a ingestão de matéria seca, ganho de peso diário, conversão alimentar, digestibilidade e as características da carcaça de novilhos alimentados com dietas à base de silagens de dois híbridos de milho. Os tratamentos foram as silagens de milho provenientes dos híbridos LG6030 PRO e P30B39H. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado, com seis repetições, em esquema de parcelas...
The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the nutritional composition, dry matter (DM) recovery and aerobic stability of winter cereal silages under different storage periods. The materials used were wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. BRS Gralha Azul), barley (Hordeum vulgare cv. BRS Brau), white oat (Avena sativa cv. URS Guará), black oat (Avena strigosa cv. Embrapa 139) and triticale (X Triticosecale IPR 11),...
Enzymes can be an interesting additive in high energy diets for feedlot cattle. However, literature is inconsistent on this subject. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate animal performance of feedlot bulls receiving high energy diet, composed of a mixture of 85% whole corn grain and 15% protein-mineral-vitamin nucleus, without or with xylanase included in the diets. Diets consisted of: CON - diet without ...
