Orientador: Prof. Dr. Antonio Ferriani Branco Tese (doutorado em Zootecnia) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá, 2019 RESUMO: Foram desenvolvidos na Fazenda Modelo, do Grupo Facholi, no município de Santo Anastácio – SP, três estudos com uso de suplemento mineral proteico para bovinos de corte, com o objetivo de avaliar o comportamento dos animais ao longo do dia em relação ao consumo de suplementos com diferentes composições. Os grupos de animais de cada experimento foram constituídos assim: grupo 1 = 32 novilhas cruzadas da raça Nelore × Aberdeen Angus, com peso inicial médio de 218 kg; grupo 2 = 32 novilhas da raça Nelore, com peso inicial médio de 204 kg e, grupo 3 = 32 tourinhos da raça Nelore, com peso inicial médio de 211kg. Cada experimento teve a duração de 28 dias, compreendidos no período de 30 de março a 27 de abril de 2017. A área experimental de cada experimento foi constituída de 4 pastos com 2 hectares cada, totalizando 8 hectares, e a forrageira de todas as áreas foi a Brachiaria brizantha cv. BRS Piatã. Na área experimental de cada experimento havia uma praça de alimentação coberta e pavimentada, com dois bebedouros e quatro cochos eletrônicos (Intergado®), com tecnologia de identificação animal por rádio frequência, para fornecimento dos diferentes suplementos. Os cochos permitiam a programação de acesso de até 9 animais cada um, com ocupação individual, ou seja, um animal por vez. Os animais foram identificados individualmente por marca de ferro quente no membro posterior esquerdo, e por um botton auricular eletrônico (Intergado®). Cada comedouro continha um suplemento diferente e todos os animais tiveram livre acesso a todos os suplementos. No experimento 1 os suplementos estudados foram: FS20 (20% de PB com farelo de soja), UP20 (20% de PB com ureia protegida), FS30 (30% de PB com farelo de soja) e UP30 (30% de PB com ureia protegida). No experimento 2 foram: FS (18,6% de PB com farelo de soja), U (18,6% de PB sem farelo de soja), FSTC (18,6% de PB com farelo de soja + líquido da casca da castanha de caju) e UC (18,6% de PB sem farelo de soja + líquido da casca da castanha de caju). No experimento 3 foram: FST (20% de PB com farelos de soja e de trigo), U (20% de PB sem farelos de soja e trigo), FSTC (20% de PB com farelos de soja e de trigo + líquido da casca da castanha de caju) e UC (20% de PB sem farelos de soja e trigo + líquido da casca da castanha de caju). A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio da tecnologia de identificacao animal por radio frequencia com registro de: horario da visita, tempo de permanencia no cocho e consumo. Foram estabelecidos seis intervalos de quatro horas, para cada periodo de 24 horas, para coleta de informacoes: noite/madrugada (N/M) de 0h00min ate 3h59min; madrugada/manha (M/M) de 4h00min ate 7h59min; manha (M) de 8h00min ate 11h59min; tarde (T) de 12h00min ate 15h59min; tarde/noite (T/N) de 16h00min ate 19h59min; e noite (N) de 20h00min ate 23h59min. O delineamento experimental foi o de variaveis multiplas. O modelo linear misto utilizado considerou os efeitos fixos de periodos do dia, de equipamento (suplemento) e interacao periodo do dia e equipamento e, como efeito aleatorio, foi considerado o dia de coleta. As diferencas entre os suplementos foram comparadas pelo teste de Tukey Kramer e em todas as analises foi considerado o ƒ¿ = 0,05. Suplementos com maior concentração de ureia protegida ou ureia pecuária tiveram menor aceitação por todos os grupos de animais em todos os experimentos, enquanto os suplementos com maior inclusão dos farelos de soja e trigo tiveram consumo mais elevado, demandaram maior número de visitas aos cochos e maior tempo de consumo. A inclusão do líquido da casca da castanha de caju nos suplementos não alterou o consumo. Novilhas cruzadas ½ Nelore × ½ Aberdeen Angus, novilhas Nelore e tourinhos Nelore, em pastagem, manejada sob pastejo rotacionado e recebendo suplementação mineral proteica à vontade, consomem maiores quantidades de suplemento entre 0 h e 03:59h. ABSTRACT: Three studies were carried out at Fazenda Modelo, Grupo Facholi, in Santo Anastacio - SP, Brazil, with the use of protein mineral supplement for beef cattle, with the objective of evaluating the behavior of animals throughout the day in relation to the consumption of supplements with different compositions. The groups of animals of each experiment were constituted as follows: group 1 = 32 Nellore × Aberdeen Angus crossbred heifers, with average initial weight of 218 kg; group 2 = 32 Nellore heifers, with initial average weight of 204 kg and group 3 = 32 Nellore heifers, with initial average weight of 211kg. Each experiment lasted 28 days, with experimental period from March 30 to April 27, 2017. The experimental area of each experiment was composed of 4 paddocks with 2 hectares each, totaling 8 hectares, and the forage in all paddocks was Brachiaria brizantha cv. BRS Piatã. In the experimental area of each experiment there was a covered and paved feed court with two waterers and four electronic feeders (Intergado®), with radio frequency animal identification technology, to provide the different supplements. The feeders allowed the programming of access up to 9 animals each, with individual occupation, ie one animal at a time. The animals were identified using the hot iron mark on the left hind limb, and by an electronic ear button (Intergado®). Each feeder contained a different supplement and all animals had free access to all supplements. In experiment 1 the supplements were: FS20 (20% CP with soybean meal), UP20 (20% CP with protected urea), FS30 (30% CP with soybean meal) and UP30 (30% CP with soybean meal). protected urea). In experiment 2 were: FS (18.6% CP with soybean meal), U (18.6% CP without soybean meal), FSTC (18.6% CP with soybean meal + cashew nutshell liquid) and UC (18.6% CP without soybean meal + cashew nutshell liquid). In experiment 3 were: FST (20% CP with soybean and wheat bran), U (20% CP without soybean and wheat bran), FSTC (20% CP with soybean and wheat bran + cashew nutshell liquid) and UC (20 % CP without soybean and wheat bran + cashew nutshell liquid). Data collection was performed using radio frequency animal identification technology with recording of: time of visit, time spent in the feeder and supplement intake. Six fourhour intervals were determined for each 24-hour period to collect information: night/dawn (N/M) from 0:00 am to 3:59 am; dawn/morning (M/M) from 4 am to 7:59 am; morning (M) from 8 am to 11:59 am; afternoon (T) from 12:00 to 15:59; afternoon/evening (N/A) from 4 pm to 7:59 pm; and night (N) from 20h00min to 23h59min. The experimental design was of several variables. The linear model used considers the fixed effects of the period of the day, equipment (supplement) and interaction between period of the day and equipment and, as a random effect, was considered the collection day. Differences between supplements were compared by Tukey Kramer test and it was considered ƒ¿ = 0.05. Supplements with higher concentration of feed-grade protected urea or feed-grade urea had lower acceptance by all groups of animals in all experiments, while supplements with higher inclusion of soybean and wheat meals had higher consumption, demanded more visits to troughs and higher consumption time. The inclusion of cashew nutshell liquid in the supplements did not modify the consumption. Nellore crossbred heifers ~ Aberdeen Angus, Nellore heifers and Nellore bulls, grazed under rotational grazing and receiving free mineral protein supplementation, consume larger amounts of supplement between 0h and 03: 59h. 65 f. : il., tabs.

The objective of this research was to study the effects of the inclusion of live yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Procreatin®), virginiamycin (V-Max®) and the association of both, on the performance of beef cattle in semiconfined system, grazing a pasture of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu. A total of 36 Nellore crossbred bulls were used, with an average age of 21 months and initial average weight of 307 ± 25 kg. The animals were distributed in a completely randomized design, and the experiment had a total duration of 112 days, divided into four periods of 28 days. All animals were supplemented at a level of 1.3% of body weight, considering each stage of the experimental period. The experimental treatments were: Supplement without additive (SC, control); Supplement containing 0.5 g.kg-1 of live yeasts (SL); Supplement containing 75 mg.kg-1 of virginiamycin (SV) and supplement containing virginiamycin (75 mg.kg-1) + live yeasts (0.5 g.kg-1) (SVL). The averages of the performance were compared by orthogonal contrasts, with a 5% level of significance, being: C1 = C vs. (SL + SV + SVL); C2 = SL vs. SV and, C3 = (SL + SV) vs SVL. In relation to the average daily gain (kg / day), there was no difference (P> 0.05) between the animals that received SC (1.07) and those that received supplements with additives (1.13), between those who received SL (1.09) and those who received SV (1.11) and those who received SL or SV (1.10) and those who received SL + SV (1.20). The results show that in the conditions of the present experiment the use of these additives does not bring improvements to the performance of semiconfined cattle. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi verificar os efeitos da inclusão de leveduras vivas (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Procreatin®), virginiamicina (V-Max®) e a associação de ambos, sobre o desempenho de bovinos de corte em regime de semiconfinamento, em pastagem de Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu. Foram utilizados 36 tourinhos mestiços Nelore, com idade média de 21 meses e peso médio inicial de 307 ± 25 kg. Os animais foram distribuídos em delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, e o experimento teve duração total de 112 dias, divididos em quatro períodos de 28 dias. Todos os animais foram suplementados com dietas em nível de 1,3% do peso corporal, considerando cada etapa do período experimental. Os tratamentos experimentais foram: suplemento sem aditivo (SC, controle); suplemento contendo 0,5 g.kg-1 de leveduras vivas (SL); suplemento contendo 75 mg. kg-1 de virginiamicina (SV) e suplemento contendo virginiamicina (75 mg. kg-1) + leveduras vivas (0,5 g.kg-1) (SVL). As médias de desempenho foram comparadas por contrastes ortogonais, com 5% de nível de significância, sendo: C1 = C vs. (SL + SV + SVL); C2 = SL vs. SV e, C3 = (SL + SV) VS SVL. Os aditivos incluídos nos suplementos não influenciaram o ganho médio diário dos animais (P>0,05). O fornecimento dos suplementos, independente de qual foi usado, promoveu aumento crescente no peso dos animais, mostrando que essa estratégia promove ganho moderado de peso vivo, e considerando a época do ano, um excelente resultado, reduzindo assim a idade ao abate quando se compara com sistemas tradicionais. ix, 36 f

This research was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of glycerin levels inclusion in high performance diets for feedlot beef cattle on apparent digestibility of nutrients, dry matter intake, daily gain, feed efficiency and hot carcass yield. Thirty-two Brangus bulls were used, with initial body weight of 380 ± 20 kg, in a completely randomized design. Animals were housed in individual pens and subjected to 21 days of diets and facilities adaptation, followed by five experimental periods of 21 days each. The experimental diets were formulated so that the corn was replaced by glycerin at 0, 70, 140 and 210 g kg-1 levels, in the dry matter of total diet. Inclusion of glycerin in the diets up to 210 g kg-1 did not influence (P>0.05) apparent digestibility of dry matter (738.1 g kg-1), organic matter (747 g kg-1), crude protein (755.1 g kg-1), neutral detergent fiber (580.2 g kg-1) and total digestible nutrients (707.2 g kg-1). Glycerin inclusion in the diets did not influence (P>0.05) total dry matter intake (10.667 kg dia-1). Still, feed efficiency (0.133 kg kg-1), average daily gain (1.42 kg) and hot carcass yield (543.7 kg kg-1) have not been influenced by the glycerin (P>0.05). Glycerin can replace up to 1/3 of the corn and compose up to 21% of the diet for confined beef cattle with high gain rate, without changing apparent digestibility of nutrients, dry feed intake, daily gain, feed efficiency and hot carcass yield. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da substituição do milho pela glicerina em dietas de alto desempenho para bovinos confinados, sobre a digestibilidade aparente dos nutrientes da dieta, o consumo de matéria seca, o ganho diário, a eficiência alimentar e o rendimento de carcaça quente. Foram utilizados 32 tourinhos da raça Brangus, com peso inicial de 380 ± 20 kg, em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Os animais foram confinados em baias individuais e submetidos a 21 dias de adaptação à dieta e às instalações, seguido de 5 períodos experimentais de 21 dias cada. As dietas experimentais foram formuladas de forma que o milho fosse substituído por glicerina nos níveis 0, 70, 140 e 210 g kg-1 de matéria seca na dieta total. A inclusão de glicerina na dieta até 210 g kg-1 não influenciou (P>0,05) a digestibilidade aparente da matéria seca (738,1 g kg-1), matéria orgânica (747 g kg-1), proteína bruta (755,1 g kg-1), fibra em detergente neutro (580,2 g kg-1) e os nutrientes digestíveis totais (707,2 g kg-1). A inclusão de glicerina na dieta não influenciou (P>0,05) o consumo de matéria seca total (10.667 g kg-1). Ainda não foram influenciados pelo uso da glicerina a eficiência alimentar (0,133 kg kg-1), o ganho médio diário (1,42 kg) e o rendimento de carcaça quente (543,7 kg kg-1). A glicerina pode substituir até 1/3 do milho e compor até 21% da dieta de bovinos confinados com alta taxa de ganho, sem alterar a digestibilidade dos nutrientes da dieta, o consumo, o desempenho animal e a eficiência alimentar. x, 29 f

Enzymes can be an interesting additive in high energy diets for feedlot cattle. However, literature is inconsistent on this subject. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate animal performance of feedlot bulls receiving high energy diet, composed of a mixture of 85% whole corn grain and 15% protein-mineral-vitamin nucleus, without or with xylanase included in the diets. Diets consisted of: CON - diet without enzymes (Control) and ENZ - diet with enzymes (5 g animal day-1). Thirty-two bulls were used, with an average age of 11 ( 2 months, average initial weight of 365 ( 5 kg, and finished for 119 days in feedlot. The experimental design was completely randomized, consisting of two treatments and eight replications, where each replication was represented by a stall with two animals. ENZ increased the weight gain (1.69 vs. 1.33 kg day-1) and improved the feed conversion (4.60 vs. 6.03 kg-1) in the adaptation period of the animals. Animals receiving ENZ increased 1.65% of carcass yield and were 7.57% more efficient in the conversion of dry matter consumed into carcass gain in relation to CON. Carcass traits of feedlot-finished bulls were not altered by inclusion of enzymes. Xylanase-complex could increase efficiency in feedlot bulls. RESUMO. As enzimas podem ser aditivos interessantes em dietas de alta energia para gado em confinamento. No entanto, a literatura é inconsistente para este assunto. Assim, este trabalho foi realizado para avaliar o desempenho de touros em confinamento com dietas de alta densidade energética, composto apenas de uma mistura de 85% de grãos de milho inteiros e 15% de núcleo proteico-vitamínico-mineral, com ou sem inclusão de enzimas à base de xilanase. Os tratamentos foram CON - dieta sem enzimas (controle) e ENZ - dieta com enzimas (5 g animal dia-1). Foram utilizados 32 touros, com idade média de 11 ( 2, peso inicial médio de 365 kg ( 5 e terminados por 119 dias. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, consistindo em dois tratamentos e oito repetições, em que cada repetição foi representada por uma baia com dois animais. ENZ aumentou o ganho de peso (1,69 vs. 1,33 kg dia-1) e melhorou a conversão alimentar (4,60 vs. 6,03 kg-1) na fase de adaptação dos animais em confinamento. Os animais que receberam ENZ aumentaram 1,65% do rendimento de carcaça e foram 7,57% mais eficientes na transformação da matéria seca consumida no ganho de carcaça em relação ao CON. As características de carcaça de touros terminados em confinamento não foram alteradas em função da inclusão de enzimas. O complexo de xilanase pode aumentar eficiência de touros de confinamento.

- Abstract
This research evaluated the effects of diets containing or not containing deactivated soybean sums on productive performance, carcass attributes, carcass ultrasound, and feed cost in confined heifers with 1/2 Nellore-Angus blood. We used blood from 60 1/2 Nellore-Angus heifers aged 2 or 25 years with a body weight of 404.62 kg. A completely randomized design was used, in which the animals were divided into 2 experimental groups: Cont (concentrated for semi feedlot without added deactivated soybean) and Bocchi (concentrated for semi feedlot with the addition of deactivated soybeans). There was no significant difference in the final weight between the experimental groups or for the consumption of concentrate in the evaluation periods. However, heifers supplemented with deactivated soybean in the diet showed greater daily weight gain than did those in the Cont group, as well as greater carcass weight, arrobas gain, and carcass yield. Bocchi concentrate was less expensive than Cont (U$ 7.26 ton-1). The addition of deactivated soybean for finishing cattle is indicated because it provided the animals with higher energy intake and positively influenced the productive performance as a final weight gain greater than that of the feed without adding the deactivated soybean in addition to lower production cost.

- Abstract
Studies with bioeconomic modeling can be identified in animal science. However, there are distinct typologies associated with the term bioeconomy with different meanings and approaches. The present study aims to examine the Bioeconomy/Bioeconomics approaches used in animal science research and discuss the implications and benefits of integrating these areas of knowledge. The method consisted of systematic literature review with quantitative and qualitative analyzes of the content of articles obtained from the Scopus® database. In the process of searching and analyzing the articles, we defined beef cattle as representative of animal science. Followed the PRISMA Protocol guidelines. The results confirmed that the use of the term bioeconomic has been recurrent in this field of knowledge since 1994. However, the approach given to the term refers mainly to studies combining animal performance (bio) and economic returns (economic) because of variables of interest, evident in the set of indicators reported in the articles analyzed. Despite the relevance of these studies, we discuss some implications and reasons for adopting other bioeconomy approaches in animal science. We conclude that the integration between Bioeconomics and animal science can significantly broaden the scope of analysis, the what relevant to the contemporary challenges of promoting sustainable production systems.

Oliveira Freitas, Felipe André, Carrara, Eula Regina, Ladeira, Giovanni, Lourenço, Matheus, Leôncio, Thamires, Miranda, Claudiana, César, Fernanda Larissa, and de Genova Gaya, Leila
- Abstract
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for body weight at 60 (P60), 90 (P90), and 120 (P120) days of age in escargots of the subspecies Cornu aspersum maximum, evaluating the influence of fixed and covariable effects on these traits. The data used were collected from escargots kept in a total confinement system. The significant fixed effects and covariates for these traits were tested in a general linear model by the F-test, considering a level of significance of 5%. Both the fixed effects of box and birth year and the quadratic effect of age of weighing as a covariate were significant (p < 0.05) for P60, P90, and P120. The Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) methodology was used to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters. High heritability for P60, P90, and P120 (0.38, 0.55 and 0.78, respectively) and high genetic correlations (0.58 to 0.77) among the traits were observed. The genetic parameters can be used as a basis for studies and practical applications to increase zootechnical indexes in this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The selection of superior genotypes considering several traits simultaneously allows the release of more adapted, productive, and nutritive cultivars. To select forage peanut genotypes for use as animal feed and for ornamental purposes, 67 genotypes were evaluated. Twelve agronomic and nutritive value traits were evaluated in three temporally separated trials: a randomized complete block design. The mixed model method (Restricted Maximum Likelihood/Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (REML/BLUP)) was employed for estimating genetic parameters and predicting genotypic values, which were used in the selection indexes. The selection criteria considered vegetative and seed propagation traits corresponding to the use of forage peanut as animal feed and for ornamental purposes. Seed productivity was also evaluated and correlated with other traits. Genetic variability with high heritability in seed production was observed. Plant vigor, ground cover, and dry matter yield were negatively correlated with seed production. Among the genotypes evaluated, there is a possibility of selecting 14 and 16 genotypes corresponding to seed propagation for animal feed and ornamental purposes, respectively. For vegetative propagation, there are 16 and 14 promising genotypes for animal feed and ornamental purposes, respectively. Vegetatively propagated genotypes generally performed better in terms of agronomic traits related to feed production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
This study aimed to carry out bioclimatic zoning based on the historical series of climatic variables such as air temperature, maximum, minimum and relative humidity collected in six conventional meteorological stations in the state of Paraíba, Brazil and from this to determine whether or not the animals are in thermal comfort by comparing with the results obtained in scientific research in each mesoregion in the rainy and dry periods. Then based on this the comfort conditions for small ruminants in the rainy and dry seasons of the mesoregions of Paraíba were observed using data from the literature, and demonstrated in spatial distribution maps. The variables air temperatures, maximum and minimum and relative humidity varied throughout the state for the rainy season between 22 to 27, 18 to 21, 25 to 31°C and 64 to 82%, respectively, and in dry season is 23 to 27, 28 to 35, 19 to 23°C and 49 to 76%, respectively. However, it is concluded that raising sheep and goats is viable in all mesoregions of the state of Paraíba in both periods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The objective was to evaluate the performance and ingestive behavior of grazing sheep in the finishing stage, with supplementation in the period of water restriction. Fifteen male crossbred sheep were used in continuous pasture in Massai grass and supplied supplement formulated with 18% of crude protein in three levels (0.0; 0.3 and 0.6% of body weight), individually. Bromatological and fodder production analyses were performed, as well as foliar mass production, stem mass and senescent material mass. The performance and ingestive behavior of the animals were evaluated. The design was in four randomized blocks for the variables measured in the fodder. For the biometry, weight gain and behavior variables measured in the animals, the design was entirely randomized with five repetitions. The total forage mass production was 5512.41 kg ha-1, with 6.58% of crude protein, 79 38% of neutral detergent fiber and with 65% of foliar mass. The total weight gain and daily weight gain were higher in animals that received a supplement of 0.6% of body weight. In general, the animals grazed more in the morning period and the supplemented ones destined more time for rumination and leisure than the ones not supplemented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Ivanor Nunes do Prado Tese (doutorado em Zootecnia) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá, 2018 RESUMO: Atualmente persiste uma polêmica relacionada à utilização dos antibióticos, os quais têm o objetivo na nutrição de ruminantes de moduladores fermentativos. Mas o seu uso frequente na alimentação de bovinos de corte promoveu um possível surgimento de bactérias resistentes que, consequentemente, pode ser grande ameaça à saúde humana. Deste modo, no atual contexto a cadeia produtiva da carne bovina necessita adequar à produção para poder atender o mercado consumidor, com o uso de ingredientes de qualidade alimentar alternativos que não promovam perdas ao sistema. Por meio dos estudos realizados, os objetivos foram avaliar o efeito de ingredientes de origem natural sobre o desempenho animal, resposta fisiológica, bem-estar animal, resposta imune e características de carcaça de bovinos de corte. No primeiro estudo foram utilizadas 40 novilhas Nelores (peso corporal inicial 297,6 ± 31,2 kg) distribuídas aleatoriamente às dietas testadas, sendo CON - Sem óleo essencial; ROS - Óleo essencial de alecrim; BLE - Mistura protegida de eugenol, timol e vanilina; BCL - Mistura protegida + óleo essencial de cravo; e BRC - Mistura protegida + óleo essencial de alecrim + óleo essencial de cravo. Foram quantificados o desempenho animal e as características de carcaça, digestibilidade in situ, comportamento ingestivo e composição de tecido da carcaça. Os pesos corporais iniciais e finais não mostraram efeito. Entretanto, o ganho médio diário e o consumo de matéria seca foram maiores em novilhas alimentadas com dietas BLE, BCL e BCR do que novilhas alimentadas com dietas CON e ROS. A eficiência alimentar e a digestibilidade in situ foram melhores para as novilhas alimentadas com as três dietas misturadas e o pior para as novilhas alimentadas com a dieta ROS. Os pesos de carcaça e suas características, bem como as percentagens de músculo, gordura ou osso da carcaça não mostraram alteração. Para o comportamento ingestivo, os dados sobre ruminação e ócio tendem a ser alterados pela dieta. No segundo estudo foram utilizados 40 novilhos Nelores designados aleatoriamente para quatro dietas experimentais, sendo TEST - sem ingredientes de suplemento; BAC05 - Folhas de Baccharis dracunculifolia in natura (5 g/animal/dia); BAC10 - Folhas de Baccharis dracunculifolia in natura (10 g/animal/dia); e BAC15 – Folhas de Baccharis dracunculifolia in natura (15 g/animal/dia). Foram quantificados o desempenho animal, o comportamento ingestivo e os parâmetros sanguíneos. O uso das folhas da Baccharis não afetou o peso corporal final, ganho médio diário, ingestão de matéria seca, eficiência alimentar e comportamento ingestivo. Para as concentrações plasmáticas de ureia, creatina, aspartato aminotransferase, gamma glutamil transferase e creatina quinase, nenhum efeito foi detectado entre os tratamentos testados. No terceiro estudo foram utilizados 105 bezerros Angus x Hereford (63 novilhos + 42 novilhas). Os animais foram designados aleatoriamente às baias (7 baias/tratamento) e distribuídos aos tratamentos, sendo PC - lasalocida (360 mg/animal/dia de Bovatec, Zoetis, Florham Park, NJ, EUA) + clorotetraciclina (350 mg/animal de Aureomicina em ciclos de inclusão de cinco dias e remoção de dois dias da dieta, Zoetis) do dia 0 a 32 e apenas monensina (360 mg/animal/dia de Rumensin, Elanco Animal Health, Greenfield, IN, EUA) do dia 33 ao 60; EG - edulcorante à base de sacarina de sódio (Sucram a 0,04 g/kg, Pancosma SA, Genebra, Suíça) + extratos de plantas contendo eugenol, cinamaldeído e capsicum (800 mg/animal dia de XTRACT Ruminants 7065; Pancosma SA) do dia 0 a 32, e XTRACT apenas (800 mg/animal/dia) do dia 33 a 60; CON - nenhum ingrediente suplementar do dia 0 a 60. Diariamente os bezerros foram avaliados quanto aos sinais da doença respiratória bovina durante todo período experimental, bem como analises sanguíneas foram quantificados. O ganho médio diário de bezerros foi maior em PC vs. EG e tendeu a ser maior em PC vs. CON. A eficiência alimentar também tendeu a ser maior no PC vs. CON, embora o efeito principal do tratamento para esta resposta não tenha sido significativo. Os títulos séricos médios contra o vírus sincitial respiratório bovino foram maiores em EG vs. PC e CON apresentando uma tendência. Os resultados desses estudos sugerem que os ingredientes de origem natural podem ser utilizados como substituintes aos antibióticos utilizados na alimentação de animais confinados ABSTRACT: Actually, there is a controversy related to the use of antibiotics, which have the objective in the nutrition of ruminants of fermentative modulators. But its frequent use in feed of beef cattle has promoted a possible emergence of resistant bacteria, which can be a great threat to human health. Thus, in the current context, the beef production chain needs to adapt to production in order to attend the consumer market, with the use of alternative feed quality ingredients that do not promote losses to the system. The objective of these studies was to evaluate the effect of natural ingredients on animal performance, physiological response, animal welfare, immune response and carcass characteristic of beef cattle. In the first study 40 Nellore heifers (initial body weight 297.6 ± 31.2 kg) were randomly distributed to the diets tested, CON - no essential oil; ROS - essential oil of rosemary; BLE - protected blend of eugenol, thymol and vanillin; BCL - protected blend + clove essential oil; and BRC - protected blend + rosemary essential oil + clove essential oil. Animal performance and carcass characteristics, in situ digestibility, ingestive behavior and carcass tissue composition were quantified. Initial and final body weights showed no effect. However, average daily gain and dry matter intake were higher in heifers fed BLE, BCL and BCR diets than heifers fed with CON and ROS diets. Feed efficiency and in situ digestibility were better for heifers fed with the three mixed diets and worse for heifers fed the ROS diet. The carcass weights and their characteristics, as well as the percentages of muscle, fat, and bone showed no change. For ingestive behavior, data of rumination and idleness tend to be altered by diet. In the second study, 40 Nellore steers randomly assigned to four experimental diets were used, TEST – no supplement ingredients; BAC05 – Leaves of Baccharis dracunculifolia in nature (5 g/animal/day); BAC10 – Leaves of Baccharis dracunculifolia in nature (10 g/animal/day); and BAC15 – Leaves of Baccharis dracunculifolia in nature (15 g/animal/day). Animal performance, ingestive behavior and blood parameters were quantified. The use of Baccharis leaves did not affect final body weight, average daily gain, dry matter intake, feed efficiency and ingestive behavior. For plasma concentrations of urea, creatine, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma glutamyl transferase and creatine kinase, no effect was detected among the treatments tested. In the third study, 105 Angus x Hereford calves (63 steers + 42 heifers) were used. The animals were randomly assigned to the pens (7 pens/treatment) and distributed to the treatments, PC - lasalocid (360 mg/calf daily of Bovatec; Zoetis, Florham Park, NJ, USA) + chlortetracycline (350 mg/calf of Aureomycin in cycles of 5-day inclusion and 2-day removal from diet; Zoetis) from day 0 to 32 , and monensin only (360 mg/calf daily of Rumensin; Elanco Animal Health, Greenfield, IN, USA) from day 33 to 60; EG - sodium saccharin-based sweetener (Sucram at 0.04 g/kg, Pancosma SA, Geneva, Switzerland) + plant extracts containing eugenol, cinnamaldehyde, and capsicum (800 mg/calf daily of XTRACT Ruminants 7065; Pancosma SA) from day 0 to 32, and XTRACT only (800 mg/calf daily) from day 33 to 60; CON - no supplemental ingredients from day 0 to 60. Calves were evaluated for signs of bovine respiratory disease daily throughout the experimental period, as well as blood tests were quantified. Calf average daily gain was greater in PC vs. EG and tended to be greater in PC vs. CON. Feed efficiency also tended to be greater in PC vs. CON, although main treatment effect for this response was not significant. Mean serum titers against bovine respiratory syncytial virus were greater in EG vs. PC and CON showing a tendency. The results of these studies suggest that ingredients of natural origin may be used as substituent for the antibiotics used in feed of feedlot animal xiv, 83 f. : il.

- Abstract
To evaluate the bromatological composition and ruminal degradability of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of Xaraés palisade grass (Urochloa brizantha 'Xaraes' syn Brachiaria brizantha) under grazing in integrated crop, livestock (ICL), and forest (ICLF) systems, we conducted an in situ degradability trial in randomized blocks with three nonlactating 3/4 Gyr × 1/4 Holstein cows, provided with ruminal cannula. The management of Xaraés palisade grass was similar in both systems, differing only regarding shading in the ICLF system provided by eucalyptus trees (average 65% crown cover). Grass samples were incubated for 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours. Considering the passage rate 2% h-1, the Xaraés palisade grass of ICL system had greater NDF effective degradability in relation to ICLF (46.38 vs 44.98%). However, the palisade grass CP potential degradability was greater in the ICLF than in the ICL system (68.92% vs. 65.40%). The presence of trees in the pasture has effect on nutritional traits of the Xaraés palisade grass, increasing its protein content and degradability and reducing its fiber degradability.

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize four corn and sorghum co-products (DDG) in terms of their protein and carbohydrate fractions; we also evaluated the effects of substituting the protein source of the conventional supplement by DDG on consumption and nutrient digestibility in confined finishing cattle. Thirty-six male Nellore cattle with a mean age of 24 months were used. The treatments were: FA: concentrate with corn as an energy source and cottonseed meal as a protein source; DDG50: concentrate with a 50% substitution of the FA protein source by DDG; DDG100: concentrate with 100% substitution of the FA protein source by DDG. The experimental design was completely randomized with three treatments and three replicates (pens) containing four animals per pen. We found that the use of DDG in the finishing phase did not interfere with the animals' food intake or the digestibility of the nutrients (p > 0.05). Nutrients were used by the animals; therefore, DDGs may be viable substitutes of cottonseed meal. We conclude that the bromatological composition of this co-product is influenced a lot during processing; therefore, the nutritional values of this co-product present in the composition tables may not be true.

Boligon, Arione Augusti, dos Santos Vicente, Isadora, Roso, Vanerlei Mozaquatro, and de Souza, Fabio Ricardo Pablos
- Abstract
Heritability and direct and maternal genetic changes were estimated in Nellore cattle for the following traits: birth to weaning weight gain (BWG), weaning to yearling weight gain (YWG), weaning conformation (WC), weaning precocity (WP), weaning muscling (WM), yearling conformation (YC), yearling precocity (YP), yearling muscling (YM) and yearling scrotal circumference (SC). Direct and maternal heritability for weaning traits were 0.21±0.03 and 0.13±0.01 (BWG); 0.19±0.03 and 0.07±0.01 (WC); 0.22±0.03 and 0.07±0.01 (WP); 0.20±0.03 and 0.07±0.01 (WM), respectively. For yearling traits, direct heritability were 0.19±0.04 (YWG); 0.32±0.05 (YC); 0.37±0.05 (YP); 0.38±0.05 (YM) and 0.41±0.04 (SC). Positive and significant direct genetic changes (p < 0.05) were found for all traits, except for WC (p = 0.09), equal to 0.138 kg year-1 (BWG), 0.003 units year-1 (WC), 0.011 units year-1 (WP), 0.009 units year-1 (WM), 0.132 kg year-1 (YWG), 0.003 units year-1 (YC), 0.011 units year-1 (YP), 0.011 units year-1 (YM) and 0.020 cm year-1 (SC), indicating favorable genetic gains in the period. For weaning traits, we obtained negative and non-significant (p > 0.05) maternal genetic trends, with values of -0.084 kg year-1 (BWG), -0.004 units year-1 (WC), -0.004 units year-1 (WP) and -0.004 units year-1 (WM). Thus, greater emphasis should be given for maternal genetic merit of weaning traits in this population, if improvements in maternal ability were desirable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Dry matter intake (DMI), nutrient intake and enteric CH4 emission were evaluated in 48 Nellore cattle (392 ± 27 days of age). Equations were generated from intake data and evaluated using root mean square prediction error (RMSPE), and validated by cross-validation. Equations that included DMI and hemicellulose intake (HEMI) [CH
4 (MJ d-1 ) = 4.08(±1.65) + 11.6(±2.34)DMI(kg d-1 ) - 33.4(±7.21)HEMI(kg d-1 )]; DMI and total carbohydrate intake (TCHI) [CH4 (MJ d-1 ) = 5.26(±1.69) - 6.3(±1.47)DMI(kg d-1 ) + 8.8(±1.81)TCI(kg d-1 )]; metabolizable energy intake (MEI) and cellulose intake (CELI) [CH4 (MJ d-1 ) = 5.16(±1.72) - 0.13(±0.048)MEI(MJ d-1 ) + 7.37(±1.53)CELI(kg d-1 )], and non-fiber carbohydrate intake (NFCI) [CH4 (MJ d-1 ) = 3.14(±1.48) + 3.65(±1.05)NFCI(kg d-1 )] resulted in the lowest RMSPE (14.3, 14.1, 14.3 and 14.7%, respectively). When literature equations were evaluated using our database, the most accurate predictions were obtained with equations that included DMI and lignin intake (RMSPE = 15.27%) and MEI, acid detergent fiber intake and lignin intake (RMSPE = 15.7%). The mean error of predicting enteric CH4 emission with the equations developed in this study based on DMI and nutrient intake is 17% and the most accurate predictions are obtained with equations including DMI, carbohydrate intake and MEI.

The study with crossbred heifers, finished in feedlot, fed with diets containing essential oils mix (oregano, garlic, lemon, rosemary, thyme, eucalyptus and sweet orange) was carried out to evaluate the effect on meat quality (chemical composition, water holding capacity and texture) and fat (lipid oxidation and fatty acid profile). Thirty animals (12 months-old and 219.8 kg) (½ Angus vs. ½ Nellore) were allocated in individual pens for 3 months with one of the following diets (90% concentrate and 10% sugarcane bagasse pelletized): without addition of essential oils (E0.0), with 3.5 (E3.5) or 7 (E7.0) g/animal/day of essential oils? blend. Chemical composition, fatty acid profile on Longissimus muscle and meat color were evaluated. In addition, the effect of ageing (1, 7 and 14 days) was evaluated on water holding capacity, texture and lipid oxidation. Essential oils had no influence (P > 0.05) on chemical composition, meat colour, water holding capacity and texture, but the inclusion of 7.0 g.d-1 had a tendency (P < 0.10) to increased lipid oxidation. The addition of 7.0 g/animal/day had a pro-oxidant effect (P < 0.05) on meat during the ageing and showed higher values for lightness at 14 days. Ageing reduced (P < 0.05) meat texture. The second study was to evaluate the sensory acceptability of meat from 57 crossbred (½ Angus - ½ Nellore ) animals of different sexes [heifers n=30, and young bulls n=27], finished in feedlot with isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diets, in different levels of supplementation (0.0, 3.5 or 7.0 g/animal/day) of a commercial mix of essential oils (Mixoil®) from seven plants: oregano, garlic, lemon, rosemary, thyme, eucalyptus and sweet orange. 120 consumers who scored tenderness acceptability, flavor acceptability and overall acceptability using a hedonic nine-point scale evaluated the Longissimus thoracis muscle, with 24 hours of maturation. The essential oils inclusion affected tenderness acceptability and flavor acceptability (P ? 0.01), with a tendency (P < 0.10) for overall acceptability. Meat from heifers was more appreciated by consumers than that from young bulls for all attributes (P? 0.001), however, different groups of consumers had different preferences. The inclusion of essential oils mix in beef diets was well accepted by consumers and could improve the meat acceptability from young bulls, when added at a concentration of 3.5 g/animal/day during the last 4 months of fattening. The third work was carried out to investigate the influence of sainfoin pellets supplementation on fat skatole and indole concentration, fat and meat color and chop sensory attributes in grazing lambs. Fifty-four lambs (Romane) were separated in different groups for at least 87 days before slaughter: feedlot (SI), pasture-fed alfalfa (M. sativa) (AF) and pasture-fed alfalfa plus sainfoin (O. viciifolia) pellets (AS). Perirenal and dorsal fat skatole concentrations were below quantification limit for all SI lambs. Sainfoin pellet supplementation in grazing lambs reduced perirenal and dorsal fat skatole concentration. The treatments did not affect subcutaneous caudal fat and Longissimus thoracics et lumborum muscle color, except for lightness (L*) on fat. The sainfoin pellet supplementation for grazing lambs can be a strategy to reduce perirenal and dorsal fat skatole concentration O trabalho com novilhas mestiças terminadas em confinamento foi realizado para avaliar o efeito da inclusão do mix de óleos essenciais (orégano, alho, limão, alecrim, tomilho, eucalipto e laranja doce) na dieta e seus efeitos na qualidade da carne (composição química, coloração, capacidade de retenção de água e textura) e da gordura (oxidação lipídica e perfil de ácidos graxos). Foram utilizados 30 animais (12 meses; 219,8 kg) (½ Angus vs. ½ Nellore), alocados em baias individuais, recebendo uma dieta composta de 90% de concentrado e 10% de bagaço de cana peletizado durante 3 meses, e divididos em 3 tratamentos: sem adição de óleos essenciais (E0.0), com adição de 3.5 (E3.0) ou 7 (E7.0) g/animal/dia do mix de óleos essenciais. Em adição, foi avaliado o efeito da maturação (1, 7 e 14 dias) na capacidade de retenção de água, coloração, textura e oxidação lipídica. A adição de óleos essenciais não influenciou (P > 0.05) na composição química, coloração da carne, capacidade de retenção de água e textura, mas a inclusão de 7 g/animal/dia mostrou uma tendência (P < 0.10) a aumentar a oxidação lipídica tendo assim, um efeito pro-oxidante. A adição de 7 g/animal/dia também aumentou (P < 0.05) a luminosidade da carne durante a maturação aos 14 dias. A maturação da carne reduziu (P < 0.05) a textura da carne. O segundo trabalho foi realizado para avaliar a aceitabilidade sensorial da carne de 57 animais mestiços (½ Angus vs. ½ Nellore) de diferentes sexos (novilhas n=30, e tourinhos n=27) terminados em confinamento com uma dieta isoenergética e isoproteica, e com a inclusão de diferentes níveis (0.0, 3.5 ou 7.0 g/animal/dia) do mix de óleos essenciais (Mixoil®) constituído de 7 diferentes plantas: orégano, alho, limão, alecrim, tomilho, eucalipto e laranja doce). Cento e vinte consumidores classificaram, utilizando uma escala hedônica de 9 pontos, o músculo Longissimus thoracis com 24 horas de maturação, para os seguintes critérios: aceitabilidade da maciez, aceitabilidade do flavor e aceitabilidade geral. A inclusão de óleos essenciais afetou a aceitabilidade da maciez e a aceitabilidade do flavor (P ? 0.01), com uma tendência (P < 0.10) para a aceitabilidade geral. Carne de novilhas foi mais apreciada pelos consumidores que a carne de tourinhos em todos os atributos (P? 0.001), entretanto, diferentes grupos de consumidores possuíram diferentes preferências. A inclusão de óleos essenciais na dieta de bovinos de corte foi bem aceita pelos consumidores e pode aumentar a aceitabilidade da carne de tourinhos quando é adicionada na concentração de 3.5 g/animal/dia durante os 4 meses finais da terminação. O terceiro trabalho foi realizado para avaliar o efeito da adição de pellets de sainfoin na dieta de cordeiros terminados em pastagem sobre a concentração de escatol e indol, coloração, odour e flavour atribuídos à carne e à gordura. Cinquenta e quatro cordeiros (Romano) foram separados em diferentes grupos pelos 87 dias antes do abate: animais confinados (SI), animais pastejando alfafa (M. sativa) (AF) e animais pastejando alfafa com a suplementação de pellets de sainfoin (O. viciifolia) (AS). O ganho médio de peso foi o mesmo para os três tratamentos. As concentrações de escatol da gordura perirenal e dorsal foram quantificadas com valores menores que os valores limites para todos os animais do grupo SI. A suplementação de sainfoin para cordeiros em pastagem, reduziu a concentração de escatol nas gorduras perirenal e dorsal. Os tratamentos não afetaram a coloração da gordura subcutânea caudal e do músculo Longissimus thoracics et lumborum, exceto para a luminosidade (L*) na gordura. A suplementação de pellets de sainfoin para a terminação de animais em pastagem pode ser uma estratégia para reduzir a concentração da concentração do escatol na gordura perirenal e dorsal xvi, 92 f.
