Abstract. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects including soybean oil (SO) in diet feedlot lambs on metabolic, behavioral, and ruminal parameters. Five rumen-cannulated (average body weight 47.76 ± 7.14 kg at approximately 15 months age) were distributed a 5 × Latin square design. Their diets consisted increasing levels SO inclusion: 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 g kg−1 dry matter (DM). Each period lasted 21 d, with 14 d for adaptation 7 data collection. The analyzed...
Ruminants have a unique metabolism and digestion of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA). Unlike monogastric animals, the acid (FA) profile ingested by ruminants is not same as that reaching small intestine. The objective this study was to evaluate whole raw soybeans (WS) in diets replacer for calcium salts (CSFA) terms UFA abomasal digesta early- mid-lactation cows. Eight Holstein cows (80 ± 20 d milk, 22.9 0.69 kg/d milk yield, 580 kg body weight; mean standard deviation) with ruminal cannulas...
Sugarcane is relatively affordable in subtropical regions and can be used as a forage source for cattle; however, its low fiber degradation the rumen may impair diet digestibility animal performance. The objective of this study was to evaluate influence fibrolytic enzyme product dairy heifers fed either corn silage or sugarcane silage-based diets on nutrient intake digestibility, eating behavior, energy N utilization, ruminal fermentation, microbial protein synthesis, blood metabolites....
Oilseeds offer some protection to the access of ruminal microorganisms and may be an alternative calcium salts fatty acids (FA), which are not fully inert in environment. This study aimed evaluate effects different sources FA supplementation on apparent total tract nutrient digestibility, milk yield composition, energy balance (EB) cows during transition period early lactation. We compared diets rich C18:2 C18:3 FA. Multiparous Holstein were randomly assigned receive one four diets: control...
Licuri (Syagrus coronate) cake is a biodiesel by-product used in ruminant feed as beneficial energy source for supplementation managed pastures. The objective was to evaluate the performance, digestibility, nitrogen balance, blood metabolites, ingestive behavior and diet profitability of eight crossbred Holstein (3/4)×Gyr (5/8) multiparous cows (480±25 kg BW 100 days milking) grazing supplemented with licuri partially replacing ground corn soybean meal concentrate (0, 200, 400 600 g/kg dry...
Objective Two experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of coated slow-release urea on nutrient digestion, ruminal fermentation, nitrogen utilization, blood glucose and concentration (Exp 1), average daily gain (ADG; Exp 2) steers. Methods 1: Eight ruminally fistulated steers [503±28.5 kg body weight (BW)] distributed into a d 4×4 Latin square design assigned treatments: control (CON), feed grade (U2), polymer-coated A (SRA2), B (SRB2). Dietary sources set at 20 g/kg DM. 2: 84...
<title>Abstract</title> The breeding and nutrition of young calves are important for the production system due to their great impact on future milk potential. With aim studying performance health in suckling phase, with supplementation selenium, iron vitamin E undergoing immunological challenge Anaplasma marginale, an experiment was carried out experimental farm using 42 newborn Holstein male aged up 68 days, being submitted following treatments: Control replacer; SeVitE (milk replacer...
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effects of combining functional oils (FO) [ricinoleic acid (RA) and cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL)] on nutrient intake total-tract apparent digestibility, ruminal fermentation, nitrogen utilization, predicted rumen microbial protein (Pmic) in heifers. Twelve Jersey heifers (14±0.6 months 264±18.7 kg BW) were assigned a 4 × Latin square experiment with following treatments: Control (CON), diet without feed additives; Ricinoleic acid, dietary inclusion...
