The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects chitosan (CH), with or without inclusion unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) sources, on intake and digestibility, ruminal fermentation, microbial protein synthesis, nitrogen balance, blood metabolites, milk production composition, dynamics flow in lactating Jersey cows. Five rumen-fistulated cows [average days = 105 ± 45 days; 18.0 0.47 kg/day; body weight 350 25 kg] were used a 5 × Latin square design 21-day periods. experimental diets...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects two energy sources, associated or not (crude glycerin and castor oil) in buffaloes' diets on intake, digestibility, rumen kinetics, feeding behavior, nitrogen balance, microbial protein synthesis, fermentation, blood metabolites. Four ruminally-cannulated Murrah buffaloes [526 ± 29 kg initial BW] were randomly assigned according a 4 x Latin square design which animals allocated each treatment: CONT = control with soybean meal ground...
This study evaluated the effects of gliricidia hay inclusion in total mixed rations made from giant forage cactus on fermentative profile, losses, chemical composition, and aerobic stability. The completely randomized design was adopted with five treatments (0, 5, 10, 15, 20% a natural matter-NM basis) replications. Dry matter, ether extract, crude protein exhibited quadratic maximum peaks at 9.33%, 4.94%, 15.38%. Linear increases were observed neutral acid detergent fiber hemicellulose,...
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of including gliricidia hay (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% fresh matter—FM), replacing ground corn cottonseed cake, on quality total mixed rations silages based spineless cactus. Twenty-five experimental silos were distributed in a completely randomized design experiment (five treatments—five replications). Ash, neutral acid detergent fiber, hemicellulose contents increased linearly, whereas non-fibrous carbohydrates decreased (p < 0.05). Crude...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the intake, apparent nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance, and intake behaviour crossbred Boer goat kids fed with diets contain cottonseed cake. It utilised 32 kids, average body weight 16 ± 2 kg, distributed in a completely randomised experimental design, four diets, levels substitution soybean meal by cake, 0%, 33%, 66% 100%, respectively. There no significant effect (p > .05) cake on nutritional components, except for ether extract that behaved...
This study aimed to investigate the effects of chitosan and whole raw soybean on nutrient intake, apparent digestibility, nitrogen utilization, microbial protein synthesis, blood metabolites, feeding behavior, ruminal fermentation, digesta kinetics, reticular flow nutrients buffaloes. Four ruminally-cannulated Murrah buffaloes (351 ± 15 kg initial BW) were randomly assigned according a 4 × Latin square design. Treatments arranged as 2 factorial arrangement: first factor was (WRS), second...
This study assessed the effects of four levels crude glycerin (0, 50, 100, and 150 g/kg dry matter (DM) basis) in diet Boer crossbred goat kids on qualitative quantitative carcass characteristics as well meat quality. Thirty-two crossbred, castrated x undefined breed with an initial average weight 17.8 ± 2.2 kg between 3 4 months age were distributed across a complete randomized experiment treatments eight replicates. The DM intake linearly decreased (
This paper aims to investigate the influence of increasing chitosan doses on relative proportion and abundance cellulotytic, amylolytic bacteria, Archaea transcripts for grazing cattle. Five rumen cannulated crossbread steers [3.6 months 300 ± 25 kg body LW (live weight), mean standard deviation] were used in a 5 × latin square design, randomly assigned treatment sequence containing added 0, 400, 800, 1200, or 1600 mg/kg concentrate. There was effect population Fibrobacter succinogenes,...
This study aimed to evaluate differences in productive performance between primiparous and multiparous Murrah buffaloes the interrelationships metabolic traits during transition period early lactation. Thirty pregnant were monitored at beginning of Animals randomly assigned within two experimental groups considering calving number estimated date: (n = 15) 15). The every week last 30 days pregnancy, first 63 postpartum. Buffaloes kept same environment condition, management practices....
We evaluated the microbial populations, fermentation profile, chemical composition, losses and aerobic stability of sorghum silages enriched with urea Lactobacillus buchneri. Experiment design was set up as a completely randomised 4 × factorial arrangement consisting four treatments (SS – silage without additive; SSI L. buchneri (105 cfu/g fresh matter); SSU (% DM); SSUI inoculant) opening times (15, 30, 60, 110 days), replicates. The pH influenced (P < 0.01) by treatments, highest values...
Substituting soybean meal (SM) with other protein sources can be advantageous in reducing production costs without increasing nitrogen losses the environment. Peanut cake (PC) might a strategy ruminant herds to result performance similar that observed animals fed SM. This study assessed PC inclusion at rates of 0, 250, 500, 750, and 1000 g/kg on intake digestibility, performance, balance, microbial synthesis, carcass traits lambs. Forty-five entire, crossbreed Dorper × Santa Inês lambs...
This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of ensiling sorghum silage with urea and amending aerobic exposure nutrients intake apparent digestibility, ingestive behaviour blood serum metabolites feedlot lambs. Forty uncastrated crossbred Dorper × Santa Inês lambs, aged 150 ± 15 days an initial body weight 21.73 2.40 kg, were used. Animals assigned in a 2 3 factorial arrangement. Thus, six diets produced various addition levels (UA: 0 5 g/kg on natural matter basis) periods silages...
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effect of pearl millet silage ammoniated with urea on lamb carcass characteristics and meat quality. Thirty‐two noncastrated crossbred lambs at 4–5 months age, an average initial body weight 17.39 ± 2.16 kg, were distributed into four treatments in a randomized block experimental design eight animals per treatment. Experimental diets composed levels (0%, 2%, 4% 6%, dry matter basis (DM). Carcass conformation fatness decreased linearly ( p < 0.05)....
