title: Yield and nutritional value of shoots and tuberous roots of eight industry cassava genotypes

description: SUMMARY In this study we evaluated the yield and nutritional value for ruminants of shoots and roots of eight industry cassava genotypes (BGMC 1304, BGMC 1299, BGMC 1297, BGMC 1262, BGMC 991, BGMC 923, BGMC 788 and BGMC 436), grown at Embrapa Cerrados experimental field in Planaltina-DF (15 ° 35 '30' south latitude, 47 42 '30' west longitude at 1000 m altitude). The shoots of all genotypes were pruned twelve months after planting. Eighteen months after planting shoots and the tuberous roots of each genotype in each plot were harvested. The experimental design was a randomized block with three replications and means were compared by Scott-Knott. There were significant differences among genotypes for shoots and roots dry matter yield (DMI) as well as in terms of nutritional traits, except for potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and copper in shoots and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), potassium, calcium and magnesium in roots. The BGMC 1304 showed higher yield of shoots (8,554kg ha-1) and mean levels of 44.24% and 12.58% for IVDMD and crude protein (CP), respectively. The BGMC 923 stood out for its higher root yield (17,760kg ha-1) with averages of 86.93% IVDMD and 2.27% CP.

title: Evaluation of metabolic profile at different stages of peripartum of Santa Inês ewes in the Western Amazon

description: SUMMARY This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional metabolic condition of Santa Ines ewes in antepartum and postpartum period, in order to avoid toxemia. Were used 50 Santa Ines ewes management under the same condition of handling and feeding, distributed into five groups, according to the gestation period: G1 - P-60 (60 days before partum), G2 - P-30 (30 to 21 days before partum), G3 - P0 (at partum to 4 days post partum), G4 - P+30 (30 days after partum) and G5 - P+60 (60 days after partum). The blood collection was conducted in the morning by venipuncture of the jugular in two vacuum tubes. The metabolites evaluated were: protein metabolism (total protein, albumin, globulin and urea), energy (glucose) and mineral (magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P)). To determine the differences between the means was applied the Tukey test at 5% probability. The serum concentrations of the protein metabolism (total protein, albumin and globulins), the mineral metabolism (calcium, phosphorus and magnesium) and the energy metabolism (glucose) according to the experimental phase showed significant differences (P&lt;0.05), where the average β-hydroxybutyrate remained within the reference values for the breed. None of gestation stages presented metabolic deficiencies in protein and energy inputs for the diet and tested management phase. The mineral calcium showed low levels at the end of gestation and early lactation.

title: Losses, fermentative profile and chemical composition of “Brachiaria decumbens” silage with inclusion of rice meal

description: SUMMARY The objective was to assess the effects of rice meal over losses by gas and effluent, the fermentative profile and the chemical composition of Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk silage in laboratory bags. Entirely random lining was used, with five treatments: 0; 10; 20; 30 and 40g/kg rice meal, based on natural grass matter. The values of losses by gas and effluents were reduced linearly in 0.11 and 0.39g/kg DM, while recovery of dry matter increased linearly in 0.32g/kg DM. There was quadratic behavior for pH values and linear decrease for the values of N-ammoniacal and buffering power estimated in 1.1 and 5g/kg DM. Concentrations of acetic, butyric and propionic acids were reduced linearly in 0.1; 0.008 and 0.006g/kg DM, while lactic acid increased linearly in 0.5g/kg DM. Each 1g/kg rice meal promoted linear increase of 4.3; 1.8; 7.1 and 7.0g/kg dry matter levels, crude protein, ethereal extract and total digestible nutrients and linear decrease of 6.9; 4.3 and 2.6g/kg DM of fiber in neutral detergent, fiber in acidic detergent and hemicellulose levels. Inclusion of 10g/kg rice meal already ensures lowering losses by gas and effluents, increase in dry matter recovery, allowing improvements on the fermentative profile and the chemical composition of silage.

title: Propolis extraction residue like bacterial inhibitor “in vitro”

description: SUMMARY This study aimed to evaluate the effect of residues extraction hydroalcoholic of propolis, green and brown, on the development of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The crude propolis was obtained from “Companhia da Abelha” in Contagem, Minas Gerais. The green propolis derived from “alecrim-do-campo” (Baccharis dracunculifolia), and the brown propolis derived from “alecrim-do-campo” (B. dracunculifolia) and “assa-peixe” (Vernonia polyanthes). We used five levels of inclusion (0; 0.625; 0.125; 0.25; 0.5g) of the residue, and control for the inoculum (CI) and six bacterial strains, two of which are Gram-positive and four Gram-negative. The method used was to count colony-forming units in petri dishes (pour plate). Among the Gram-positive bacteria, the greatest inhibitory effect was detected for Staphylococcus aureus strains, and increased susceptibility was observed for Escherichia coli among Gram-negative bacteria. There was antimicrobial effect of the residue of the propolis extract on S. aureus and S. intermedius. The residue of brown propolis extract showed greater inhibition for S. intermedius only in 0.5 and 0.25g of residue inclusion levels. There was no effect of residues extraction hydroalcoholic of propolis, green and brown on the growth of Pseudomonas. The residues of the extraction of propolis green and brown acted as inhibitors of growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus intermedius and Escherichia coli, and to a lesser extent Salmonella and Klebsiella. The residue has greater inhibitory effect on Gram-positive bacteria.

title: Banana Pell in diets for lactating crossbred cows

description: SUMMARY The study purpose was to evaluate the intake, digestibility, ingestive behavior and milk production of F1 Holstein x Zebu cows fed with diets containing dried banana peel in the sun with or without addition of chemical agents during the drying process. We used two Latin squares 4 x 4, composed of four diets, four animals and four experimental periods. The diets were formulated to be isonitrogenious with forage to concentrate ratio of 75: 25. Treatments consisted of 20% inclusion of dried banana peel with or without addition of 2% of limestone or 2% of calcium oxide, replacing the sorghum silage, apart from free banana peel diet. Were used eight cows with 80 ± 10 days in milk at the beginning of the experiment, which lasted 72 days, divided into four periods of 18 days with 14 days for diet adaptation and four days of sampling and data collection. The banana peel with calcium oxide decreases rumination time, the total chewing time and the number amounts ruminated per day. However, it didn’t change the feed and rumination efficiencies of DM and NDF. The utilization of dried banana peel in the sun in 20% of the diet doesn’t alter milk yield, with average production of 16.88 kg of milk with 3.5% of fat.day-1. However, reduces DM and nutrients digestibility, which may limit the weight gain of the animals. The use of additives in banana skin drying does not improve the consumption and production of milk.

title: Measurements “in vivo” and of carcasses and constituents non-carcasses of sheep fed with different levels of guava agroindustrial by-product

description: SUMMARY The objective of this study was to evaluate the biometrics, morphometry and the organs do non-constituents of the carcass of feedlot Santa Inês sheep fed with increasing levels (0; 20; 40 and 60% dry matter basis) of guava agroindustrial by-products as a replacement for corn. Forty male (noncastrated) Santa Inês sheep, averaging 17.41 ± 1.27 kg body weight (BW) and 120 days of age at the beginning of the study, were used in this trial. The animals were slaughtered at 32 kg or 105 days of confinement. A completely randomized design with ten replicates per treatment was used. The animals submitted to diets with 60% substitution showed lower body length (63.20cm), lower withers height (67.30cm) and hip (69.50cm), low body condition score (2.40 pts), lower carcass of conformation (2.25 pts), lower chest perimeter (65.10cm) and low yields of organs such as heart (0.52%), spleen (0.15%), kidneys (0, 25%) and lung (0.89%). Corn can be replaced by guava agroindustrial by-product at levels up to 40%, being relevant to obtain animals with body characteristics desirable for meat production and yield of organs non-constituents of carcass satisfactory to the market.

title: Evaluation of Levels of fat protected and concentrate on productive performance and sheep thermoregulation

description: SUMMARY The objective was to verify the effect of energy supplementation by including protected fat and increasing the concentrate fraction of the diet on the performance and thermoregulation of confined Santa Inês sheep in the semiarid region of Paraíba. Thirty non-castrated Santa Ines male lambs were randomized in a 3 x 2 factorial (3 concentrate levels: 40, 50 and 60%, and 2 levels of protected fat: 0 and 2%) arrangement according to a complete randomized block design with 5 replications. We observed a positive linear effect of the concentrate levels on animal performance. Energy supplementation with protected fat (2%) did not affect animal performance (P&gt;0.05), however, there was a significant level of concentrate x protected fat interaction on rectal temperature and respiratory rate. The 60% concentrate level in the diet of confined lambs promoted better performance. The level of concentrate in the diet directly affected the physiological responses of lambs, however the use of 2% of protected fat in the diet when associated with the 40% concentrate level mitigated the effects of heat stress on these animals.

title: Survey and morphological characterization of Brazilian local goat breed Gurgueia in its origin

description: SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to conduct the inventory of goat breed Gurgueia in the state of Piauí, Northeast region of Brazil. The inventory includes a historical survey - made by searching in the literature - and a population survey - made by gathering in loco information. The geographic location through GPS was taken in farms sheltering Gurgueia goats and then individuals Gurgueia were counted to estimate population size and classifying the risk of extinction. To characterize the Gurgueia breed, the presence of beard, horns, earrings, patterns of color roan, agouti and brown, and the presence of reduced ear were observed to perform simple descriptive analysis. The regional literature demonstrates lack of consistency about the origin of the Gurgueia breed. However, flocks of goats in the Gurgueia river valley, in Southern Piauí, gave origin to the breed denomination. The present study found out 119 Gurgueia individuals scattered in three micro-regions - classifying the Gurgueia breed as critically endangered. The morphological analysis shows low frequency of earrings (0,05) and high frequency of horn (0.95) in Gurgéia individuals. The beard frequency was 0.52 and was verified absence of long hairs, indicating no relationship between those. The analysis showed high frequency of roan pattern (0.96), absence of brown and single coat pattern (non-agouti). Reduced ear was absent. This inventory appointed that Gurgueia risk of endangerment is unstable, since its presence within herds is mixed with other breed types.
