Context The demand and production of renewable fuels are boosting the biofuels. Agricultural industries have been playing a role in increase ethanol from corn and, consequently, their by-products. Dried distiller’s grain (DDG) is by-product can be used as source protein energy diet feedlot lambs. Aims objectives this experiment were to evaluate effects including DDG high-concentrate diets on performance, rumen morpho-histology, carcass characteristics Methods Forty-five Santa Inês × Dorper...
The effects of orange essential oil (OEO) as a feed additive were evaluated on nutrient intake, apparent digestibility, nitrogen balance, and rumen fermentation characteristics meat sheep. Ten rumen-cannulated Dorper × Santa Inês wethers [38.8 ± 2.58 kg initial body weight (BW); age = approximately 24 months old], used in replicated 5 Latin square design (5 animals treatments; 27-day periods). five treatments were: OEO0 – (negative control) inclusion 0 mg/kg dry matter (DM) OEO; OEO100 - 100...
Context The minimum requirements of physically effective neutral detergent fibre forage (peNDF-F) in finishing diets for feedlot lambs has not been consolidated. Aims present study evaluated the effect increasing levels peNDF-F on growth performance, blood metabolites, carcass characteristics, and ingestive behaviour fed a whole corn grain-based diet. Methods Forty-five Dorper × Santa Inês rams, with an initial bodyweight (BW) 22.6 ± 5.3 kg (mean s.d.) 88 10 days old s.d.), were used....
Context Early weaning is an alternative that may shorten the production time, and improve growth, carcass quality. Aims The effects of different ages on growth performance characteristics Dorper × Santa Inês lambs were evaluated. Methods Initially, 33 crossbred lactating ewes with initial bodyweight (BW) 53.16 ± 9.17 kg (mean s.d.) penned individually their (nine females 36 males; 6.59 0.30 BW 10 2.22 days age) after birth used in a randomised complete block design (three treatments 11...
Abstract High-grain diets have been used with great success in the feedlot systems for lambs production Brazil. Then it became important to define ideal dietary fiber content diet when goal is produce heavy early slaughter. The objective this trial was evaluate levels of on performance feed high-grain diet. Fifty-eight Dorper x Santa Inês ram (initial BW 20.7 ± 1.19 kg and 75 10.83 d old) were assigned a randomized complete block design. treatments defined by (“Coastcross” hay) (CP: 16,12%...
