Total mixed ration silage has been used as a strategy to optimize the use of dry and wet feed in ruminant feeding. Another promising technique is reallocation, which allows producers divide ensiled material large silos into smaller units that can be easily transported marketed. Thus, this study aimed improve food preservation through development total rations (TMRs) based on relocated sorghum (RSS) cactus pear for sheep diets. A completely randomized design was with five treatments (0, 15,...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the intake, digestibility, water balance and growth performance lambs receiving diets containing cactus silage under an intermittent supply. Thirty-six male, uncastrated Santa Inês with initial weight 19.8 ± 2.1 kg age 6 months were distributed in a 3 × factorial arrangement, three proportions pear (0 (control diet Tifton hay), 21% 42% dry matter) periods supply (0, 24 48 h), four repetitions. Lambs that received non-isonitrogenous showed higher intakes...
The current study aimed to evaluate the application effects of preactivated Lactobacillus buchneri and urea on fermentative characteristics, chemical composition aerobic stability in corn silages. design was completely randomized, a 6 × 5 factorial arrangement, with six types additive five opening times. treatments consisted silage; silage freeze-dried inoculant; inoculant +1.0% urea; activated urea, 1.0% urea. Populations lactic acid bacteria stabilized at 70th day, average values 8.91 9.15...
Agroforestry systems (AFS) are considered alternative land use options to help prevent soil degradation and improve microbial biomass organic C status. However, it is unclear how different densities of babassu palm [Attalea speciosa (syn. Orbignya phalerata)], which an important tree in Northeast Brazil, affect the biomass. We investigated activity under AFS with associated Brachiaria brizantha grass. Soil (MBC), N (MBN), MBC:total ratio, fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis dehydrogenase showed...
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effects Cactus ( Opuntia spp) levels in total mixed ration silages based on and Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud) fermentation profile, microbial populations, aerobic stability taxonomic diversity. completely randomized design used a 4 × factorial with four replications, being rations different (15, 30, 45, 60% dry matter) opening periods (0, 15, 30 60 days fermentation). An interaction effect P < 0.050) observed among diets times for...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the fermentative characteristics, chemical composition, and in vitro digestibility a total mixed ration silage containing two babassu by-products, starchy flour cake. treatments were distributed completely randomised design four five replications. consisted corn silage, based on standard soybean diet, with flour, No significant difference observed pH values (p = 0.256) for studied silages. Higher dry matter recovery silages diets. presented lower...
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effect cottonseed hull (CH) in diets rams on intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance, ingestive behaviour, and blood metabolites. Twenty males, uncastrated with an average body weight 29.08 ± 4.18 kg, were distributed a completely randomized design four treatment five replicates. diet contained forage concentrate ratio 50 : (ground corn, soybean meal, corn silage, CH), experimental treatments inclusion 0, 10, 20, 30% CH (dry matter basis)....
The aim of the present study was to evaluate fermentative profile, chemical composition, and in situ degradability total mixed ration silage with or without babassu byproducts formulated for sheep diets. experiment performed a completely randomized design, four treatments (silages) five replications (silos). were SS: sugarcane (control); SSCS: corn soybean meal; SSBF: corn, meal, flour; SSBC: cake. experimental diets be isoprotein, meet nutritional requirements confined an average weight 20...
This study aimed to investigate the impact of dietary inclusion babassu oil (BO) associated with sunflower (SO) on feeding behavior, water intake, and physiological parameters feedlot lambs. Thirty‐five castrated male lambs (16.6 kg ± 3.9 kg) were distributed in a randomized block design 5 treatments (diets) 7 replications. The tested diets oil‐free diet (OF), 45 g/kg BO (BO), 30 an additional 15 SO (1.5 SO), 22.5 (2.25 (3.0 SO) dry matter (DM) basis. experimental period lasted 60 days....
The objective was to evaluate the agronomic and production characteristics quality of forage sorghum for silage production, using a moisture-retaining polymer (MRP) in soil during agricultural off-season. To assess sorghum, four treatments were used, represented by MRP hydration intervals (Control, 0, 5, 10 days) replications. qualitative evaluated 4 × 2 factorial scheme, same used assessment, with without concentrate mixture at time ensiling, both randomized block design. There differences...
SUMMARY This study aimed to determine the area occupied by different tissues present in leaf blade and situ degradability of stem elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) under defoliation frequencies (30, 45, 60, 75 90 days). Plants were classified into three levels insertion tiller (apical, medial basal). The results presented as a proportion each tissue relation total blade, namely, parenchyma (PT), lignified vascular (LVT) non-lignified (NLVT). is altered accordance with increase...
Abstract The current study assessed ruminal fermentation parameters and bacterial community, nutrient intake, digestibility nitrogen balance of goats fed diets containing buffel grass hay ammonia (N-NH 3 ). Five rumen-cannulated mixed-breed castrated adult (45 ± 2.3 kg) were used in a 5 × Latin square design represented by five N-NH levels (3.43, 9.95, 17.2, 23.0 33.7 mg/dl). Control animals exclusively. Other treatments infusion composed mixture urea, ammonium sulphate casein. increasing...
