Productivity, bromatological composition and the fermentative profile of the silages from the following treatments were evaluated: corn in exclusive cultivation (CEC); intercropping of corn with brachiaria grass (CB); intercropping of corn, brachiaria grass and Calopogonium mucunoides (CBCal); intercropping of corn, brachiaria grass and Macrotyloma axillare (CBMac); and intercropping of corn, brachiaria grass and Stylozanthes capitata (CBSty). The experimental design utilized was completely randomized. For each type of cultivation, five plots or replications of three linear meters were harvested, and the material was separated. The variables assessed were: dry matter productivity per area; dry matter productivity of corn per area; crude protein production per area and productivity of total digestible nutrients per area. The material originated from the cultures was ensiled, with dry matter between 28 and 32%. After, the material was placed and compacted appropriately in bucket silos. A sample was collected from each replication for determination of the contents of DM, crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), lignin, neutral and acid detergent fibers (NDF and ADF) and TDN. A fraction of the sample of silages from each treatment was compressed for extraction of the juice and determination of the silage quality. There was difference between the forms of cultivation for the dry matter production per hectare. The CEC with production of 11920.1 kg DM/ha did not differ from CB (8997.41 kg DM/ha) or CBCal (10452.10 kg DM/ha); however, it was superior to CBMac (8429.75 kg DM/ha) and to CBSty (8164.83 kg DM/ha). The contents of DM, CP, NDF, ADF, lignin and TDN did not differ between the silages from the different treatments. All the silages presented good quality with good fermentation patterns.

Basilisk, subjected to increasing nitrogen doses (0, 100, 200 and 400 kg ha-1). The experiment design used was a completely randomized with three replications. Dry matter production and crude protein content increased linearly with nitrogen doses. The neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber content was not affected by N doses. Thus, nitrogen fertilization is recommended as a management option to the evaluated grass.

However, the efficiency in converting feed into carcass should be evaluated since cattle undergoing compensatory growth usually have high non-carcass weight gain. Aims The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of growth rate throughout the post-weaning growing phase on subsequent feed efficiency, carcass gain, and gain composition. Methods Thirty-nine weaned young Nellore bulls averaging 230.4 ± 5.62 kg of bodyweight and 8.5 ± 0.25 months of age were used. Initially, five bulls were slaughtered as a reference initial group. The remaining bulls were randomly assigned to one of three nutritional plans to achieve Low (0 kg/day), Medium (0.6 kg/day) or High (1.2 kg/day) average daily gain (ADG) throughout the post-weaning growing phase, followed by high growth rate during the finishing phase. One-half of the bulls from each treatment were slaughtered at the end of the post-...

This mineral is important in plant physiology as well as to several metabolic and cellular functions of the human organism, as well as to the formation of bone tissues. Insufficient calcium intake may lead to the development of osteoporosis. On the other hand, the excessive ingestion of calcium increases the risk for renal calculus and intestinal constipation. The presence of calcium in the blood is regulated by vitamin D and by the hormones calcitonin and parathormone.

We have evaluated the following protein sources: bean byproduct, soybean meal, sunflower meal and cottonseed meal. Eight crossbred cows (Holstein x Gir) were used, weighing 500±60.33 kg, average milk production of 14.85±3.28 kg/day, between the 60th and the 90th day of calving, by a simultaneous double 4 x 4 latin square design 4 x 4. Each experimental period lasted 15 days, of which the first 10 days were designed to animal adaptation and the final five days for data collection. There was an interaction effect (P<0.05) among protein sources and sampling time on serum glucose. There was no effect (P>0.05) of protein sources for the triglycerides,...

Forage availability was monitored to maintain a supply of 6% of BW. Both chromic oxide (10 g/day/heifer) and indigestible neutral detergent fiber (INDF) were used as external and internal markers, respectively. Intakes of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), fiber, and INDF were estimated and adjusted to the average body mass of the heifers as the covariable applying an allometric relationship and were then expressed in metabolic size unit. Weight gain was measured at the beginning and end of the experimental period in fasted heifers. Heifers at the pasture + supplement treatment consumed approximately 1.8 kg of concentrate DM per day that was offered at 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Except for intakes of DM and C...

Basilisk, subjected to increasing nitrogen doses (0, 100, 200 and 400 kg ha-1). The experiment design used was a completely randomized with three replications. Dry matter production and crude protein content increased linearly with nitrogen doses. The neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber content was not affected by N doses. Thus, nitrogen fertilization is recommended as a management option to the evaluated grass.

Foi utilizada a variedade RB855536, colhida em soca aos 11 e 13 meses. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, com três repetições, em esquema fatorial 2 x 8 (duas idades e oito tratamentos da massa ensilada). Os resultados foram avaliados pela análise de fatores. Para as variáveis de composição e cinética de degradação, foram obtidos três fatores: QN - qualidade nutritiva, incluindo MS, PB, DIVMS, FDN, FDA e LIG; MF - maturidade fisiológica, incluindo carboidratos solúveis, LIG e fração indegradável da FDN; e VDF - velocidade de degradação dos carboidratos fibrosos, contemplando o kdFDN. Às variáve...

O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, com três repetições, utilizando-se a variedade RB855536, colhida em soca aos 16 meses. Embora a adição do resíduo da colheita de soja tenha promovido aumento do pH final da silagem, os tratamentos com resíduo diminuíram em 33% as perdas de matéria seca das silagens e em 60% o teor de N-amoniacal em relação ao nitrogênio total. A adição dos inoculantes reduziu o pH da silagem quando em associação ao resíduo de soja, não exercendo efeito significativo sobre os outros parâmetros estudados. Em todos os tratamentos, as silagens apresentaram maiores concentrações dos componentes da fibra e redução nos teores de MS em relação ao material original, antes da ensilagem. Nos tratamentos com resíduo, os v...

Foram utilizados 72 bovinos machos, não-castrados, com idade inicial de 10 a 11 meses (18 Nelore, 18 F1 Nelore x Angus, 18 F1 Nelore x Pardo-Suíço e 18 F1 Nelore x Simental) e peso médio inicial de 286, 309, 333 e 310 kg, respectivamente. Adotou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado em arranjo fatorial 4 x 4 m com três animais por grupo genético e quatro níveis de adição de concentrado (30, 40, 60 e 70% na MS). Três animais de cada grupo genético foram alocados no grupo mantença e três foram abatidos no início do experimento. O consumo de energia metabolizável de mantença (CEMm), em kcal/kg0,75, correspondeu ao ponto no qual o coeficiente entre a produção de calor em jejum (PCj) e os CEM foram mais próximos de 1. As eficiências de utilização da EM para mantença (Km) foram estimadas pela divisão da produção de ca...

We interviewed 24 dairy farmers representing all participants of a dairy farmer association in a small-scale production community in the Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Two sociograms were built by means of an [...]

Sixty young bulls averaging 10 to 11 months of age from four genetic groups: Nellore, F1 Nellore x Angus, F1 Nellore x Brown Swiss and F1 Nellore x Simental and initial average body weights of 286, 309, 333 and 310 kg, respectively, were used in this study. A completely randomized design was adopted and bulls from the four genetic groups were fed diets containing: 30, 40, 60 and 70% of concentrate. Three animals from each genetic group were slaughtered at the beginning of the trial and used as reference for initial body composition. The net protein and energy requirements for gain of 1 kg of empty body weight (EBW) were estimated by the equation Y’ = a. b. X (b-1), where a and b are the parameters of the regression equations and X is the EBW of the animals. The identity test of the models indicated no significant differences among gene...
