The cactus pear has demonstrated productive potential in arid and semi-arid regions due to its photosynthetic process of crassulacean acid metabolism. Thus, this study aimed evaluate agronomic characteristics chemical composition three genotypes at different locations a tropical semiarid region classified as non-suitable for cultivation. A completely randomized design factorial arrangement (3 × 7) (three [Miúda, Baiana (Nopalea cochenillifera) Orelha de Efefante Mexicana - OEM (Opuntia...
Abstract Integrated production systems have been an alternative for diversifying agricultural production, and therefore, it is necessary to study tropical forage grasses that can impact both straw soil organic matter, as well benefit animal production. The objective of this work was evaluate the productive characteristics accumulation nutrients in biomass genus Panicum grown off‐season, Cerrado biome cover plants use integrated systems. It evaluated different maximum : Aruana, Tamani, Massai...
This study evaluated the effects of replacing ground corn with buriti oil (Mauritia flexuosa L.) on feed intake and digestibility production, composition, fatty acid profile sensory characteristics goat milk. A double Latin square (4 × 4) was used; eight goats were distributed in a completely randomized design. The comprised four periods concentration (0.00; 1.50; 3.00 4.50% total DM) corn. Intakes DM, CP, NDF, ADF, non-fibrous carboydrates (NFC) TDN not affected by replacement diet....
The objective was to evaluate the fermentation parameters, chemical composition and in situ degradability of sesame silage comparison usual silages. losses, quality forages silages were evaluated using a completely randomised design with four treatments (sesame, corn, millet sunflower) replicates per treatment, produced experimental silos. In-situ three (animals) treatment. results statistically by analysis variance Tukey's test level 5% probability. Three rumen fistulated non-castrated...
ABSTRACT: Hematologic analysis provides reliable information on the health status of animals. It is an important variable in assessment adaptive and productive capacity breeds under unfavorable environmental conditions. that combined with other genetic factors management can become useful for future sustainability mainstream agriculture a hot environment. Adaptive affected by some such as breed, pregnancy lactation. Therefore, hematological profile indicator animal production. The objective...
Methionine microencapsulated in a lipid matrix of carnauba wax by the melt-emulsification method was investigated to protect amino acid from ruminal degradation, making methionine available for use directly intestine. Pure compared with two formulations obtained ratios 2:1 and 4:1, wax: (MEM MEM 4:1), respectively. Scanning electron micrographs both after situ testing showed no attack microorganisms. There higher degradability dry matter (DM) crude protein (CP) pure confirming...
Indigenous goats play an important role in the semi-arid region of Northeastern Brazil as a biological resource with great genetic variability and historical value. In addition, they are source animal protein high value, available to people low income. However, there is lack information about these animals, mainly regarding their nutritional requirements. Therefore, objective this study was determine net requirements Ca, P, Mg, Na K for growth 36 male Moxotó goat kids (15.69 ± 0.78 kg...
The aim of study was to determine the energy requirements for maintenance and growth forty-one Saanen, intact male kids with initial body weight (BW) 5.12±0.19 kg. baseline (BL) group consisted eight averaging 5.46±0.18 kg BW. An intermediate six kids, fed ad libitum intake, that were slaughtered when they reached an average BW 12.9±0.29 remaining (n = 27) randomly allocated into nine slaughter groups (blocks) three animals distributed among amounts dry matter intake (DMI; restricted 70%...
This study was conducted to evaluate changes in hematological biomarkers of Nellore cows at different reproductive stages. Fifteen multiparous with 4 ± 1 years age and live weight 400 50 kg were used stages (non-pregnant, the initial, middle late pregnancy, birth, one day postpartum, 30 60 days postpartum). Blood collections performed every assayed for following biomarkers: hemogram (red blood cells, globular volume, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) hemoglobin concentration (MCHC))...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the silage produced with different mixtures melon biomass urea used as an additive. It adopted a completely randomized design in 5 × 2 factorial scheme five replications. first factor made up on as-fed basis (AF) melon, including plant (branch and leaf) fruit (culled after harvest), where amount varied follows: 0% fruit, 5% 10% 20% 100% fruit. second represented by use 1.5% AF. highest dry matter (DM) content (200 g/kg DM) observed Regarding crude...
The objective of the present study was to assess growth performance and carcass traits Moxotó goat kids fed different levels concentrate (supplement) (SL) on native pasture under semiarid conditions in Brazil. Thirty-two castrated (15.7±0.78 kg initial BW) were allocated randomly one four SL (treatment groups: 0, 5, 10 15 g/kg BW). When animals treatment group BW reached 25 BW, other treatments groups also slaughtered. Therefore, belonging finished with 18.40, 21.04, 22.94 25.74...
The objective of this study was to determine how concentrate supplementation during late third gestation and lactation affects ewe offspring performance from birth weaning. Thirty-six ewes their (n = 32) were used. Eighteen Morada Nova 18 Santa Inês artificially inseminated with semen Dorper ram distributed in a completely randomized factorial arrangement (2 × 2) consisting two levels (5 15 g kg-1 BW) breeds (Morada Inês) or crosses (Dorper Inês). weighed, body condition evaluated pregnancy,...
The aim of this study was to perform a literary review on the main metabolic diseases affecting cows during transition period. heat increment promoted by higher energy demand that occurs period between end lactation and early management, combined with low dry matter intake due fetal growth major consequent reduced ability rumen, make dairy cow highly susceptible ketosis, milk fever hepatic lipidosis. increase in blood concentrations non-esterifies fatty acids appear be linked onset these...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect Parkia platycephala pod meal (PP) on feeding behavior, rumen health, blood markers, and physiological responses in lactating goats. Eight apparently healthy, adult, multiparous Anglo-Nubian goats, with an average body weight 42.06±3.5 kg approximately 52±4 days lactation, were randomly assigned into two Latin squares (4×4) composed four levels PP (0, 33.3, 66.7, 100% dry matter) for periods. Daily feed intake, [...]
The objective of this study is to characterize six forage grass cultivars used for hay production. morphological and morphometric characteristics these were determined using a completely randomized block design, the rates loss dry matter crude protein (CP) evaluated design with 6 x 5 factorial scheme (six vs. five drying periods [0, 1, 2, 3 4 hours]) three repetitions.
