The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect sunflower cake from high-oleic seeds on performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, and intramuscular fatty acid composition finishing lambs. Thirty-six crossbred ewe lambs were assigned four treatments (nine lambs/treatment) in a completely randomized design: 0 (control), 150, 300 450 g/kg DM cake. weighed weekly slaughtered with 42.3 ± 0.18 kg body weight 270 10.8 days old. inclusion did not affect gain, dry matter intake...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects feeding systems on growth performance Santa Inês x Dorper lambs, meat quality, fatty acid profile, and gene expression. Thirty lambs at an initial body weight 22.6 ± 2.59 kg were randomly assigned one three feed systems: a grazing system with 1.2% concentrate supplementation (GS); feedlot 28% forage 72% (FFC); or 85% whole corn grain 15% pellets (FHG). slaughtered after 60 days experiment. Average daily gain, glucose, insulin concentration...
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...
ABSTRACT: This study evaluated forage-free diets supplemented with sodium bicarbonate (SB) based on ground flint corn intake, apparent nutrient digestibility, ruminal parameters, and N balance. Four rumen-cannulatedDorper × Santa Inês lambs, a body weight of 43.4 ± 0.85 kg (mean standard deviation) were used. The experimental design was 4×4 Latin square. Each period lasted 21 days. Experimental were: positive control, diet without SB containing 400 g/kg DM soybean hulls (CONT), three corn,...
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the residual effect of narasin on intake and ruminal fermentation parameters in Nellore cattle fed a forage-based diet. Thirty rumen-cannulated steers [initial body weight (BW) = 281 ± 21 kg] were allocated individual pens randomized complete block design, with 10 blocks 3 treatments, defined according fasting BW at beginning experiment. The animals diet containing 99% Tifton-85 haylage 1% concentrate. Within blocks, randomly assigned one three...
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....
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...
This study evaluated the effect of different orange essential oil (OEO) inclusion rates on live weight gain, eating behavior, carcass characteristics, morphology ruminal epithelium, and fatty acid profile meat feedlot lambs. Forty uncastrated, Dorper × Santa Inês lambs with an initial 21.8 ± 4.7 kg (mean standard deviation) 86 15 days age were allocated to one five dietary treatments in a randomized complete block design. The consisted concentrate-roughage (Cynodon spp) total mix ration OEO...
Macadamia oil has high concentrations of oleic and palmitoleic fatty acids, which can increase tissue sensitivity to insulin, improving glucose absorption efficiency, reducing lipogenesis through gene modulation. The objective this study was evaluate the effects macadamia associated with vitamin E supplementation on performance, blood parameters, meat quality sensory characteristics, acid profile, expression genes lipid metabolism in grazing lambs. experimental treatments were control diet...
Abstract Essential oils can modulate ruminal biohydrogenation. Dorper x Santa Inês lambs (n=40; initial BW of 30.3 ± 5.76 kg and 92 9 d old) were assigned to a randomized complete block evaluate the effect different levels arnica montana essential oil (AM) as feed additive on fatty acid (FA) profile meat. The treatments were: 25 mg monensin/kg DM (M25); four monensin-free diets containing 0 (AM0), 450 (AM450), 900 (AM900) 1350 (AM1350) AM/kg DM. All contained 90% concentrate 10% forage...
Abstract The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate the effects increasing levels orange molasses in replacement flint corn grain high-concentrate diets on dry matter intake (DMI), average daily gain (ADG) and feed efficiency (FE) feedlot lambs. Thirty male lambs without defined racial pattern (30.3 ± 5.3 kg initial BW; mean SD) used a randomized complete block design with 10 blocks 3 treatments. treatments by partial diet 90% concentrate 10% Cynodon spp hay, as follow: 0OM – control...
Abstract The objectives of this trial were to evaluate the effects levels fiber in high-grain diets on carcass characteristics feedlot lambs. Fifty-eight Dorper x Santa Inês ram lambs (initial BW 20.7 ± 1.19 kg and 75 10.83 d old) assigned a randomized complete block design. treatments defined by (“Coastcross” hay) content (CP: 16,12% 0.92): 0F: no forage diet (NDF: 10.4%); 5F: 5% 12.1%); 10F: 10% 15.0%); 15F: 15% 15.5%); 20F: 20% 20.8%) 25F: 25% 23.5%). experiment lasted 89 days, at end...
