title: Digestible tryptophan-to-digestible lysine ratio in diets for laying hens of 42 to 58 weeks of age

description: SUMMARY To determine the ideal digestible tryptophan-to-digestible lysine ratio in diets for laying hens of 42 to 58 weeks of age, 240 Hy-Line W-36 hens at 42 weeks of age were distributed in a completely randomized design with five treatments, eight replicates and six birds per experimental unit. At 42 weeks of age, the birds were subjected to experimental treatments that consisted of diets with equal amounts of nutrients, except for the digestible tryptophan level. The digestible tryptophan levels in the experimental diets were 0.149, 0.160, 0.171, 0.182 and 0.193%, generating digestible tryptophan-to-digestible lysine ratios of 21.5, 23.1, 24.6, 26.2 and 27.8%. The digestible lysine level in the diets was sub-optimal (0.694%). The same ratios between lysine and the other amino acids were maintained in all experimental diets. The ideal digestible tryptophan-to-digestible lysine ratio was estimated through the studied parameters using analysis of variance and polynomial regression analysis (α = 0.05). The digestible tryptophan-to-digestible lysine ratio in diets quadratically affected egg production, egg mass, feed conversion per egg mass and use efficiency of digestible lysine for egg mass. However, there were no effect (P&gt;0.05) on egg weight, feed conversion per dozen eggs, use efficiency of digestible lysine for number of eggs produced, percentage of egg components and weight gain. The digestible tryptophan-to-digestible lysine ratio estimated for theses parameters ranged from 23.6 to 24.3%. The digestible tryptophan-to-digestible lysine ratio recommended in diets for laying hens of 42 to 58 weeks of age is 24.3%.

title: Increasing levels of concentrate digestibility, performance and ingestive behavior in lambs

description: SUMMARY The objectives of this research were to determine the effects increasing levels of concentrate on nutrients digestibility, performance, economic viability of diets and ingestive behavior of lambs. Fifteen crossbred lambs were used in a randomized complete block design according to initial body weight and age. Lambs were penned individually during 55 days, being 10 days for adaptation of diets and 45 days for data collection. The treatments consisted in three isonitrogenous diets with increasing levels of concentrate: 40, 60, or 80%, in dry matter basis. No effect (P&gt;0.05) were observed on dry matter intake, crude protein intake, crude protein digestibility and neutral detergent fiber digestibility, whereas the dry matter digestibility was lower (P&lt;0.01) for lambs fed diets with 40% of concentrate. The addition of 80% concentrate decreased (P&lt;0.05) neutral detergent fiber intake, however this treatment provided higher average daily gain, followed by 60 and 40% of concentrate. In relation to feeding behavior, the animals fed80% concentrate spent more time with feeding (P&lt;0.05) compared to the other treatments. It is concluded that supplementation of concentrate between 60 to 80% improves dry matter digestibility and performance of crossbred lambs without relevant affect dry matter intake and ingestive behavior. A diet with 80% concentrate provides positive gross margin of profit.

title: Carcass and meat qualitative and quantitative characteristics of lambs receiving sunflower cake

description: SUMMARY This study aimed to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of carcass and meat of lambs fed sunflower cake. Were used 28 Suffolk crossbred lambs, with 4 months of age and average weight of 21.00 ± 0.74 kg, divided into four treatments: 0% (control), 10%, 20% and 30% of sunflower cake inclusion (% DM). The criteria adopted for the slaughter was body condition score (3, on scale of 1 to 5). The inclusion of sunflower cake did not influence the measurement of length and carcass depth (P&gt;0.05), pH 24 hours (P&gt;0.05), yields of commercial cuts (P&gt;0.05), as well as fat distribution, fat thickness and marbling (P&gt;0.05). There was a linear effect (P &lt;0.035) and quadratic (P &lt;0.020) on the shear force of the Longissimus dorsi muscle, indicating increase in SF as increase the level of inclusion, was not the case for color parameters L *, a * and b * (P&gt;0.05). In relation to the control treatment, the inclusion of 20% and 30% of sunflower cake influenced negatively the ribeye area (12.00 and 11.43 cm2, respectively) (P&lt;0.05), cold carcass weight (13.19 and 12.58 kg, respectively) (P&lt;0.05), and confinement time (136.85 and 138.39 days, respectively) (P&lt;0.05). The inclusion of 10% of sunflower cake can be recommended for use in diets of feedlot lambs, since it allows the production of meat and carcasses with quantitative and qualitative characteristics satisfactory, without adversely affecting the performance characteristics.

title: Composting of marine fish residues and rice husk

description: SUMMARY The objective of this study was to evaluate two proportions of marine fish residues and rice hulls on both the efficiency of composting process and the final quality of compost. Two treatments were tested: T1 – 3kg of rice husks and 1kg of marine fish residues; and T2 – 3 kg of rice husks and 3kg of marine fish residues. The following analysis were performed to evaluate the efficiency of the composting process: biomass temperature, moisture, ash, pH, mineralization index of compost, carbon/nitrogen ratio, and the total concentration of organic matter, nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Data were analyzed through ANOVA and polynomial regression and the averages were compared by SNK test at 5%. The results showed that rice husks provided immature composts at the end of 90 days of composting. Therefore, they should not be used as a structuring agent if the goal is to producing organic fertilizer. The structuring agent may be reused a larger number of times for composting of residues of marine fish, allowing that a higher proportion suffer decomposition through composting. The composting process is a technological efficient alternative to the decomposition of marine fish residues.

title: Performance and blood parameters of calves in early weaning system supplemented with probiotic rumen bacteria

description: SUMMARY Twenty crossbred Holstein x Jersey calves, distributed in a completely randomized block design were used to evaluate the effect of probiotic of ruminal bacteria supply on performance and blood parameters of dairy calves in early weaning system. Animals were submitted to control treatment or supplementation of 2g/ day of probiotic via milk replacer. The calves received 6 liters of milk replacer per day divided in two daily meals and were gradually early weaned at the 6th week of age, however, all data were collected until 10th week of age. Starter feed intake and fecal score were registered daily. Weekly, body weight, and body measures like, height withers, hip width and heart girth were taken. Blood samples were taken at the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th week, two hours after the morning feeding, to determine plasma concentrations of glucose, total protein, albumin, β-hydroxybutyrate and cortisol. Probiotic supplementation didn´t affect starter feed intake, daily weight gain, weight or body measurements. The probiotic supply also had no effect on fecal scores between treatments. Blood parameters were not affect by probiotic supplementation. The probiotic of ruminal bacteria supply present no benefits on the performance or metabolism of dairy calves in early weaning system.

title: Performance and behavior of pigs in finish phase subject to different programs of lighting

description: SUMMARY The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of lighting programs on performance, plasma concentration of melatonin and behavior of finishing pigs. The experiment was conducted in the pig farming sector UFLA, using 32 pigs in the finishing phase, for 48 days. The animals were housed in groups of two in each pen (experimental unit), distributed in a randomized block design, according to the initial weight. Four light periods were used (treatments): T1: natural light (LN); T2: 15 hours of light and dark by day nine (15L: 9E); T3: 19 hours light per day (19L: 5E); T4: 23 hours of light per day (23L: 1D). The variables analyzed were the performance (average daily feed consumption, average daily gain weight and feed conversion), the plasma concentrations of melatonin and the behavior (drinking, sniffing, leisure and eating). The change in photoperiod did not affect performance or melatonin concentration in pigs. The behavioral variables "digging", "eating", "drinking", did not differ in any of the periods studied, but leisure behavior was more occurring to the pigs receiving 15 hours of light. The increase in photoperiod showed no significant changes in performance or behavior of the animals.

title: Chemical Composition and bromatologic degradability in situ of Marandu grass in silvopastoral systems formed by babassu and monoculture systems

description: SUMMARY The objective of the present work was to evaluate the in situ degradability of dry matter (DM) and the composition of components morphological leaf and stem of Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu in silvopastoral systems composed of palms of babassu palm (Attalea speciosa) and monoculture systems in region Pre-Amazon Maranhense. The experimental design was completely randomized with 0, 80, 131, 160 adult palms.ha-1, characterizing monoculture (Mono), low density of palm trees (LDP), average density of palm trees (ADP) and high density of palm trees (HDP) during the periods rainy and dry. Representative samples were taken from each one of the systems silvipastoris, using squares of 0.25m2. They were positioned at random in representative points of pastures at the time of sampling and the plants contained inside of each square were cut every 28 days, flush to the ground. The samples, after heavy, morphological components were separated in leaves and culms, carried the oven and made the laboratory analysis. The shade provided by trees of babassu influenced the nutritive value of Marandu grass both evaluation periods, mainly in crude protein content in silvopastoral systems, it has been observed that the in situ degradability of dry matter of the leaves was greater than the stem and that there was little influence of grazing systems in parameters of degradability.
