Use of Heating Methods and Xylose to Increase Rumen Undegradable Protein of Alternative Protein Sources: 1) Peanut Meal [PDF]

Animals, 2022
Peanut meal has an excellent total protein content but also has low rumen undegradable protein (RUP). High-performance ruminants have high RUP requirements. We aimed to evaluate the effects of processing peanut meal with an autoclave and conventional and

Use of Heating Methods and Xylose to Increase Rumen Undegradable Protein of Alternative Protein Sources: 2) Cottonseed Meal [PDF]

Animals, 2022
The ruminal kinetics of protein sources may be changed by heat and sugar treatments. Thus, these processing methods may be used as alternatives to increase beef-cattle diets’ rumen undegradable protein (RUP).

Effect of Thermal Stress on Thermoregulation, Hematological and Hormonal Characteristics of Caracu Beef Cattle [PDF]

Animals, 2022
This study evaluated the influence of environmental temperature on thermoregulation, hormonal, and hematological characteristics in Caracu cattle. Blood samples, hair length, coat and muzzle colors, rectal (RT), and surface temperatures were collected ...

Genotype-By-Environment Interaction for Scrotal Circumference in Young Nellore Bulls Under Pasture and Feedlot Conditions and Its Correlation With Days to Calving. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT Scrotal circumference (SC) is a key reproductive indicator in beef cattle and an important predictor of male puberty and correlated female fertility. In this study, we evaluated young Nellore bulls raised under combinations of pasture and feedlot environments and modeled SC using a “double” reaction norm model. Additive genetic variance for SC

Genomic Prediction and Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Heat Tolerance for Milk Yield in Buffaloes Using a Reaction Norm Model. [PDF]

J Anim Breed Genet
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of incorporating genomic information on the estimation of genetic (co)variance components and the accuracy of breeding values for milk yield under varying thermal environments, and to identify SNPs associated with genes that play significant roles in heat tolerance.

Zeólita na dieta de bovinos de corte [PDF]

Arquivo Brasileiro De Medicina Veterinaria E Zootecnia, 2012
Avaliou-se o efeito da inclusão de zeólita na dieta de bovinos de corte sobre os parâmetros ruminais, as digestibilidades total e parcial, a produção de nitrogênio, a eficiência microbiana e as características do sangue. Os tratamentos, com base na matéria seca (MS) da dieta, foram: 0; 0,75; 1,5; 2,25 e 3,0% de zeólita.

Efficiency in Cow-Calf Systems With Different Ages of Cow Culling [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
The bioeconomic efficiency of cow-calf systems was compared by a deterministic dynamic simulation. The simulation model considered stable cow-calf systems differentiated by the maximum age for culling cows, lifetime, culled at 4–13 years old.

Assessing the relationship between the rumen microbiota and feed efficiency in Nellore steers [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2021
Background Ruminants rely upon a complex community of microbes in their rumen to convert host-indigestible feed into nutrients. However, little is known about the association between the rumen microbiota and feed efficiency traits in Nellore (Bos indicus)

The Bacterial and Fungal Microbiota of Nelore Steers Is Dynamic Across the Gastrointestinal Tract and Its Fecal-Associated Microbiota Is Correlated to Feed Efficiency [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The ruminant gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiome plays a major role in the health, physiology and production traits of the host. In this work, we characterized the bacterial and fungal microbiota of the rumen, small intestine (SI), cecum and feces of

Comportamento de bovinos de corte em pista de remate [PDF]

Ciencia Rural, 2006
Este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar o comportamento de bovinos em pista de remate. Foram utilizados 1.572 animais, dos quais 1.317 animais eram cruzados Bos taurus taurus x Bos taurus taurus e 255 eram puros Bos taurus taurus. Os animais foram avaliados na pista de remate durante a realização da IV Feira de Terneiros, Terneiras e Vaquilhonas ...
