An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of CP intake during gestation on productive and reproductive performance of pregnant sows of 4th or 5th parturition orders. A total of 25 crossbred sows averaging 189.0±16.46 kg at 4th parity order was allotted to a completely randomized experimental design with three treatments (10, 13.5, and 17% of CP) and 18, 15 and 12 replicates, and each sow was considered an experimental unit. No treatment effects on sow weight gain from mating […]

The effect of corn grain harvested at 87%DM or harvested at 70%DM ground and ensiled were evaluated. Diets contained different roughage sources, either corn silage (20% of the diet DM) or sugarcane bagasse (12% of the DM). Thirty two Santa Gertrudis bulls with initial average age of ten months and initial average weight of 245 kg were fed an adaptation diet for 33 days. After that period four animals were slaughtered to obtain initial body composition. The other 28 animals […]
