Twenty-one castrated male pigs averaging 31.94 kg were used to evaluate phosphorus kinetics in swine tissues. The experiment was arranged in randomized blocks, with seven treatments, four replicates and one pig/box. The diets were corn and soybean meal-based and P supplementation from the following sources: dicalcium (FBC), monodicalcium (MBC), triple superphosphate (ST); simple superphosphate (SS), Catalão rock (ROCHA) phosphoric acid (AcF), and diet controls without supplemental P (CONT). At the end of the seventh day applying the 7,4MBq of 32P, […]

Twenty-one castrated male pigs with a medium weight of 31.94 kg were used to simulate the phosphorus (P) flow between its anatomical or physiological compartments. The experiment was arranged in randomized blocks, with seven treatments and four replicates and one pig/box. Corn and soybean meal-based diets were fed and P was supplied from different phosphate sources: dicalcium (FBC), monodicalcium (MBC), triple superphosphate (ST), simple superphosphate (SS), catalão rock (ROCHA) and phosphoric acid (AcF) and diet control without supplemental P (CONT). […]

Three assays were carried out to determine the threonine requirement and the digestible threonine:lysine ratio of broiler males, Avian Farm, from 1 to 20, 24 to 38 and 44 to 56 days of age. A completely randomized design with five levels of threonine, six replicates and 20 birds per pen from 1 to 20 and 24 to 38, and 16 birds per pens from 44 to 56 were used in each experiment. The concentrations of digestible threonine were 0.684 to […]

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the substitution of corn by cassava peel (CP), in complete rations for growing goats, on the nutrients intake, nutrient digestibility, average daily weight gain and the economical analysis of the rations. Twenty four females Saanen were used, with medium initial weight of 24,20± 2,28 kg and medium age of 10 months. The animals received a complete ration with 59% of hay of Coast-cross (Cynodon dactylon L.) (7,08% PB) and […]

The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of Artemia franciscana nauplii, in poliunsturated fatty acid enriched emulsions, for marine shrimp (Farfantepenaeus paulensis) postlarvae feeding. This proceeding aimed the addiction to their diets of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), essential fatty acids for marine organisms, but scarce in nauplii originated in aquatic continental ecosystems. The nauplii were divided in five treatments: a control one with newly-hatched individuals and other four groups, each one enriched with the […]

The objective of the present study were evaluated the performance, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the carcass in growing rabbits feeding with diets contents different starch levels (22 or 32% on average) by high or low inclusion of corn grain and different fiber sources (alfalfa hay or soybean hulls), in 2×2 factorial design. The experimental diets were pellets and fed ad libitum during 40 days to 40 rabbits weaned at 35 days, housed individually and assigned to a complete randomized […]

Thirty three lambs of Bergamácia and Santa Inês the breeds were individually confined for a period of 75 days with the objective to evaluate the influence of breed and the viability of the use of swine wastes as part of the diet on the intake and performance of lambs. Two types of wastes were used: Bijú (Wastes obtained through the scratching and sweeping of the floor of the growth and termination stalls) and the Dry Sifted Wastes – DSW (Wastes […]

One experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of reduction of the crude protein (CP) level of ration with amino acid supplementation on performance of castrated males swines maintained in a termoneutral environment (22ºC). A total of sixty crossbred swines (Landrace x Large White), with average initial weight of 15.0 kg and 53.1 days old, was allotted to a completely randomized design with five treatments (18, 17, 16, 15 and 14% CP), six replications and two animals per experimental unit. […]

Ruminal fermentation parameters of diets containing high moisture sorghum silage in replacement of high moisture corn silage were studied in 12 dry cows (584 kg of BW). A completely randomized design was used with three treatments: high moisture sorghum silage replacing high moisture corn silage at levels of 0, 50, and 100%. Diets contained high moisture corn or sorghum silages, extruded soybean, urea, oat hay (Avena sativa sp.), mineral supplement and monensin. The trial extended for 21 days, the last […]

An experiment was conducted with objective to evaluate the effect of the simple and complex diets on the morpho-fisiologycal gastrointestinal of young pigs, on their pre nursery (7th to 21st day) and nursery phases (21st to 35nd of age). Ninety six crossbreed young pigs (male and females) were allotted to a randomized block design with four treatments, six replications and four young pigs for each experimental unit. It were used diets: two simple; a with 16 and the other with […]
