title: Carcass traits and meat quality of Pantaneiro lambs fed with increasing levels of crude glycerin

description: SUMMARY The objective was to assess the effect of inclusion of crude glycerin (CG) replacing corn in the diet of feedlot Pantaneiro lambs on the non-carcass components, regional and tissue composition, and carcass traits. Were used 24 not castrated males, in a completely randomized design with four treatments (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5% of CG on DM basis). There was no effect of GB inclusion on non-carcass components. There was a quadratic effect for hot carcass weight, with lower value to 2.5% of CG. Regional and tissue composition of the carcass was not affected by the substitution of corn by CG. The tissue composition of shoulder and leg and instrumental traits of the shoulder were not affected by CG. There was a quadratic effect for the yellowness of the leg, with high value for 5.0% of GB. The ether extract content of shoulder showed decreased linear effect. The use of 7.5% of CG, in dry matter, can be recommend to replace corn of feedlot diets, without changing carcass traits and meat quality.

title: Ruminal degradability and intestinal digestibility of raw and roasted soy beans in dairy cows

description: SUMMARY This study analyse ruminal degradation the technique of the nylon bags of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) and the intestinal digestibility of rumen undegraded protein (RUP) by the method of the three stages of raw and roasted soybeans at different temperatures with and without The in situ ruminal degradation were weighed five grams of natural matter in nylon bags incubated 2; 4;8; 16; 24 and 48 hours. Zero time was made the same procedure, except ruminal incubation. The residue of treatment formed a composite sample to determine the DM and CP. The intestinal digestibility was in situ incubation for 16 hours, using the technique of the three stages. The degradability of DM at a passage rate of 5 % / hour, for raw soybean (RS), was 71.94 % and roasted between 52.23 % and 68.78 %. After 16 hours of incubation(RUP) ranged from 32.12 to 67.72% and the intestinal digestibility of 73.21% to 86.02 %. The lowest degradation of DM and CP was in the roasted soybeans at 145ºC for one minute with steeping (STC1). The in vitro intestinal digestibility of raw grains was higher and differed from the toasted, except for the ones toasted at 115 ºC for four minutes with steeping. For STC1, was obtained the lowest protein degradation of 67.72 % RUP, which 52.33 %, more when compare to RS. The toast of soybeans at 145 ºC (STC1) contributed to a lower ruminal degradability of crude protein.

title: Ruminal degradability of shell of pods of the lima bean (“Phaseolus lunatus” L.) ammoniated with urea

description: SUMMARY This study aimed to evaluate the dry matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber ruminal degradability of shell pods of lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) ammoniated with four levels of urea (0; 2; 4 and 6% in dry matter basis). Three adult cattle Girolando breed, with 400±5,3kg of body weight fistulated with ruminal cannula were utilized. Ammoniation of shell of pods of the lima bean as 6% urea resulted in higher crude protein content (15.7%) of shell pods and degradability of crude protein (91.7%). Potential degradation of dry matter increased (P&lt;0.05) with the incubation time, reaching 85.1% at 48 h of incubation, although the ammoniation not promoted significant changes in ruminal degradation kinetics of this constituent. Regarding the kinetics of ruminal degradation of neutral detergent fiber, ammoniation with 6% urea decreased by approximately 1 h in the lag time, although no influence has verified to other parameters of neutral detergent fiber degradation, with degradation rate compatible with the characteristics of fibrous feeds (about 3% h−1). The lima bean shell pods of presents high degradation rate, consisting in a bulky feed of good quality, although considered a waste of culture. Ammoniation of shell pods of lima bean with urea does not promote improvement in dry matter degradability, although result in improvement of total nitrogen available to microrganisms in the rumen, with improve the neutral detergent fiber degradability, and the level of 6% more suitable for treatment in this bulky.

title: Quality of eggs from commercial laying hens stored in different periods of temperature and storage

description: SUMMARY The study aimed at assessing the quality of commercial laying hen eggs stored under different temperatures and for different storage periods. 360 eggs were collected soon after laying by DeKalb White laying hens. All eggs were identified, weighed, and randomly distributed in trays, being 150 stored at room temperature (26.5 ± 0.7°C), 150 other placed in trays under refrigeration (7.3 ± 0.5°C), and the remaining 60 eggs were set apart so the assessment could be performed on the first day. The trial design was completely randomized 2×11, scheme factorial, with two storage temperatures and six storage periods (zero, six, 12, 18, 24 and 30 days), with 30 repetitions. The assessed variables were egg weights, absolute and relative weights of albumen, yolk and shell, albumen height, specific gravity, Haugh unit, albumen diameter, albumen index and yolk. The values of absolute and relative weights of egg, albumen and yolk, albumen height, specific gravity, Haugh Unit, diameter and indices of albumen and yolk were significantly influenced (P&lt;0.05) by the storage temperature and period. The absolute weight does not of shell (P&gt;0.05) were influenced by different temperatures, however, the percentages of shell were influenced (P&lt;0.05) linearly by storage time of eggs. It can be concluded that the eggs maintain high quality when stored for up to six days after laying, at room temperature, and maintain excellent quality when stored under refrigeration for up to 30 days.

title: Chemical composition and ruminal degradability of white oat (“Avena sativa ” L.) cv. IPR126 under different nitrogen levels

description: SUMMARY The present work aims to generate data on chemical composition and degradation profile of IPR 126, fertilized at levels of 0, 180, 360 and 720 kg ha−1 of N as urea, being applied in the implementation and after each cut with an interval of 21 days between cuts. The Dry Matter (DM), ash, Ether Extract (EE), Crude Protein (CP), Neutral and Acid Detergent Fiber (NDF and ADF), Lignin (LIG), Neutral and Acid Detergent Insoluble Protein (NDIP and ADIP) and Total and Soluble Carbohydrates (TC and CHOs) were determined, and we estimate the degradation kinetics parameters: maximum volume and specific rate of gas production by the degradation of soluble fractions of rapid digestion ((Vf1 and k1); maximum volume and specific rate of gas production by the degradation of potentially degradable insoluble fraction of slow digestion (Vf2 and k2) and latency (λ), belonging to the two-compartment logistic model. The experimental design was a randomized block design and structure of R suitable matrix for each parameter was chosen from the difference between the CorrectedAkaike Information Criterion values (AICc) represented by delta r (Δr). The fertilization level caused a linear increase in CP content, and linear decrease in TC content. The parameter λ varied quadratically with the level of fertilization. The other nutrients and parameters showed no significant variance in the treatments. The asymptotic phase of protein concentration was not reached, even using high doses of nitrogen.

title: Effect of housing density on pododermatitis incidence and bone characteristics in broilers reared in “Dark House ” system

description: SUMMARY The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of housing density on the incidence of foot pad dermatitis and bone characteristics throughout rearing of broiler chickens. The experiment was carried out in three commercial poultry farms. The chicks were housed on the same day and distributed according to three densities: barn A - 14.33 birds / m2, barn B - 15:00 birds / m2 and barn C - 15.66 birds / m2 15 birds / barn were weekly culled; legs and the right foot of each bird were collected. It was evaluated the macroscopic score of cushion plant area of each bird, classifying them into: no lesion (score A), bruises in the footpad (score B), serious and multiple injury (C). Then, it was extracted the footpad of the foot and fixed in formalin. The samples underwent histological procedures. The leg bones were tested for flexural deformation rate. The cross-sectional image of the medial portion of the bone was captured; then, the area, thickness and diameter were measured at the cortical bone. Data were analyzed through SAS software. The increased density resulted in higher incidence of severe lesions in the footpad, lower bone breaking strength and area of the cross section of the tibia after 42 days. It decreases the thickness of the cortical bone at 21 days of age of the birds. Increased housing density negatively affects bone characteristics and leads to higher incidence of food pad dermatitis at slaughter.

title: Production and milk composition of sheep amaintained in tropical region

description: SUMMARY The aim of this study was to quantify the production and the chemical composition of the milk of ewes of Rabo Largo breed raised under two feeding systems during the lactation. Sixty ewes, primiparous and multiparous, aged one to four, years nursing one or two lambs were raised under two feeding systems, with average body weight of 43 kg and 40.5 kg for the groups supplemented and not supplemented, respectively. The milk yield were measured weekly, using the indirect method of double weighing, after a period of colostrum. Milk samples were also collected every week for determination of the chemical composition. The data of daily milk production were analyzed with repeated measures over time and across groups of factors. The subject factors considered were year and rainy and dry periods in early lactation, lactation order, interaction between type of lambing and sex of the offspring and between the batches. For comparison of means between batches, we used the average of the least squares with a significance level of 5%. It was found that the supplemented group presented a higher milk yield than the not supplemented group, except to the two last weeks old lactation. Already peak production occurred during the second week of lactation for both lots. The dietary supplementation increases the production and maintained the highest levels of the chemical components of milk in the last week of lactation.
