Investigação na área de nutrição e alimentação animal

A equipa de investigadores que trabalha na Área de Nutrição e Alimentação Animal desenvolve os seus trabalhos de investigação segundo três linhas principais: 1. Estratégias alimentares que melhoram as características sensoriais e a qualidade da gordura (conjugados do ácido linoleico, CLA, ómegas 3) do leite e carne de bovinos; 2. Estratégias para a melhoria da eficiência nutritiva; 3. Estudo das Forragens Açori...

Effects of grass silage and soybean meal supplementation on milk production and...

The effects of supplementation with grass silage and replacement of some corn in the concentrate with soybean meal (SBM) on milk production, and milk fatty acid (FA) profiles were evaluated in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square study using 16 dairy cows grazing pasture composed of ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and white clover. Each experimental period lasted for 3 wk. The 4 dietary treatments were PC, 20 h of acc...

Productive and reproductive performance of Romney Marsh and Merino Branco sheep...

The objective of this study was to compare the productive and reproductive performances of Romney Marsh (RM) and Merino Branco (MB) ewes in the Azores. In a preliminary trial, fertility, prolificacy and fecundity of 25 RM and 27 MB ewes, mortality rate of lambs born and growth rate of lambs (14 RM and 20 MB) from birth to weaning at 24 kg live weight were determined. In a second trial following weaning, the sam...

Influence of dietary fish oil on conjugated linoleic acid, omega-3 and other fa...

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation with fish oil on fatty acid (FA) composition of milk fat from grazing dairy cows with particular emphasis on omega-3 and conjugated linoleic acid. Twelve dairy cows in mid-lactation were blocked by live weight, days in lactation and milk production and randomly assigned to the experimental groups corresponding to 3 different feeding ...

The effects of supplementation with sunflower and soybean oils on the fatty aci...

The objective of this study was to observe the effect of supplementation with vegetable oils (VO) on the fatty acid profiles and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) content of milk fat. Twelve dairy cows in mid lactation fed on pasture were blocked by body weight, milk production and days in lactation and randomly allocated from blocks to 3 treatments repeated in a Latin square design with periods of 28 day duration...

Effect of diet on the fatty acid pattern of milk from dairy cows

Twelve dairy cows 130 days in milk were sorted by milk production and body weight and assigned to three feeding regimens in a 3 × 3 Latin-square design, in order to study the effects of diet on milk fatty acid (FA) composition. The cows were fed a total mixed ration (TMR) consisting of corn silage (60%) and concentrate (40%) on dry matter basis, or grazed pasture, without (P) or with 5 kg•d-1 concentrate as a s...
