- The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect replacing wheat bran by spineless cactus (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%) in sugar cane-based diets on intake nutrient digestibility ruminal parameters sheep. Five sheep (Santa Inês; average initial weight 34.0±3.6 kg) were fitted with cannulas rumen then assigned a 5 × Latin square design. maximum dry matter (DM; 1414 g d−1), digestible organic (658 neutral detergent fiber corrected for ash protein (NDFap; 425 d−1) intakes estimated 80.2,...

The study aimed to evaluate sugarcane bagasse as roughage in lactating cow on feed intake, digestibility, ingestive behavior, milk production and composition, microbial protein synthesis.Ten Girolando cows at initial body weight of 450±25.6 kg 143.7±30.7 days were assigned two 5×5 Latin square designs. Five 21-day experimental periods adopted (1° 14-day: diets adaptation period; 15° 21-day: data collection sampling period). consisted four different levels (45%, 50%, 55%, 60%) a control diet,...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect alternative protein sources (castor bean cake, sunflower and seed) soybean meal on intake performance 40 lambs, initially weighing 19.8±1.84 kg, fed diets based Tifton grass hay. experimental design completely randomized blocks. There were no differences in nutrient castor compared with meal. nutrients cake seed decreased apparent digestibility coefficients dry matter, organic crude protein, neutral detergent fiber average daily weight...
Objetivou-se estudar o efeito do tamanho da presa, com ou sem adição de ração na larvicultura pacamã (Lophiosilurus alexandri), espécie nativa bacia Rio São Francisco ameaçada extinção. As larvas foram cultivadas em aquários por 16 dias e alimentadas zooplâncton natural, selecionado malhas 650 1.300 µm, ração. A oferta maior resultou melhor desenvolvimento das pacamã, comprovando a vantagem fornecimento partículas alimentares maiores para potencial crescimento espécie. O aumento quantidade...
Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar as características estruturais, a produção de massa seca e composição bromatológica cultivares Brachiaria Panicum. O estudo foi conduzido em casa-de-vegetação, delineamento blocos casualizados, com cinco tratamentos, sendo três (B. decumbens cv. Basilisk, B. brizantha Marandu Xaraés) dois Panicum (P. maximum Mombaça Tanzânia), quatro repetições. De modo geral, maior número folhas, comprimento laminar perfilhos foram verificados nas Mombaça, Tanzânia Basilisk. As...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect replacing tifton hay (Cynodon spp.) with alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in spineless cactus-based (Nopalea cochenillifera Salm-Dyck) diets for lactating goats on intake and digestibility nutrients, ingestive behavior, metabolic profile production composition milk. experimental were composed increasing levels (0, 33, 67 100% dry matter (DM)) replace hay. Twelve crossbred multiparous Saanen an average initial body weight (BW) 46.2 ± 7.5 kg milk 3.0...
The effect of replacing wheat bran with spineless cactus (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%) in sugar cane-based diets on the intake nutrients, feeding behavior, rumen digestibility steers was assessed using digested samples collected from omasum. Five crossbred (1/2 Holstein-Zebu) were fitted cannulas then assigned to a 5 × Latin square design. Samples omasal digesta for three days. Rumen evacuated via cannula determine pool dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), indigestible NDF (iNDF),...
The aim was to evaluate the effect of salt stress on percentage and speed emergence seedlings in forage cultivars species Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.). study conducted a completely randomized design 3×4 factorial scheme, with three (Mombaça, Tanzânia MG12-Paredão) four salinity levels (0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 dS/m), six replications. Stress induced by irrigating pots saline solution. seedling evaluated at seven days after sowing (DAS), index (ESI) until 15 DAS evaluated. Analysis variance for ESI...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect different concentrate levels (40, 50, 60, and 70% on dry matter basis) intake, digestibility nutrients, performance heifers fed sugarcane bagasse as exclusive roughage. Twenty Girolando heifers, with an average body weight 198±25.6 kg were assigned a completely randomized design, established according weight. intake (5.12 7.73 d-1), organic (4.72 7.32 crude protein (0.71 1.05 digestible (3.09 4.77 d-1) linearly increased inclusion in...
The objective of this study was to assess the effect applying N and K2O at different times after harvest on structure production characteristics Marandu Xaraés cultivars Brachiaria brizantha. Two greenhouse 4 × 2 factorial experiments using a randomized block design with eight treatments four replicates were carried out. In experiment 1, plants in pots fertilized weekly 50 mg/dm³ until week before uniformity cut, for total applications. After cutting, 0, 3, 6, 9 days. Cultivars evaluated 44...
The study evaluated chemical composition, fermentation profile, microbial population and dry matter recovery of silages made from mixtures palisade grass (Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu) forage peanut (Arachis pintoi Belmonte). experiment was conducted analyzed in a complete randomized factorial design using 5 levels each (0, 25, 50, 75 100% on fresh basis), with without inoculant 3 replications. crude protein concentration increased linearly (P<0.05) fiber decreased as level silage...
Abstract The effects of time feed delivery (14.00 hours; 14.00 and 20.00 16.00 18.00 hours) on the physiological parameters, ingestive behavior, nutrient intake production lactating cows maintained in a semi‐arid region during hot season were evaluated. Regardless treatment, all animals received first feeding supply at 06.00 hours. Eight with an average body weight 600 kg, milk yield 20 kg/day 80 days utilized. rectal temperature, respiratory rate sweating not affected ( P > 0.05), values...
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effects of diets containing elephant grass genotypes silages as exclusive roughage on leg tissue composition, and physicochemical characteristics meat lambs. Twenty-four crossbred male lambs with an average initial body weight 20.29±2.66kg were distributed in a complete randomized design three treatments eight replicates. The consisted (IRI-381, Elephant B or Mott), without additives wilting, only roughage. did not affect (P>0.05) dry matter...
