ABSTRACT We evaluated the effects of adding fungal inoculants composed of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Trichoderma longibrachiatum to rehydrated corn silage fed to lambs receiving a tropical grass hay-based diet and their impact on financial viability. The effects of combined inoculation on dry matter intake (DMI) and weight gain were analyzed. A total of 22 male Dorper × Santa Ines crossbred lambs, with an average body weight of 14.20 ± 1.74 kg, were randomly assigned to two treatments: (1) control (CTL), […]

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate residual feed intake (RFI), residual intake and body weight gain (RIG) and their relationship with other traits of efficiency, performance, and economic analysis of sheep. Lambs (n = 102) were evaluated during 56 days and a herd consisting of 500 ewes was simulated with the mean of dry matter intake (DMI) and final body weight of the lambs, the same as that of the experimental lambs. The lambs were fed hay-based […]

Three production systems for sheep (Low – L, Medium – M and High – H technology), with increasing technological levels, were studied under conditions in the Center-west of Brazil, to determine economic weights and selection indices of important traits. Receipts and costs were simulated using an economic simulator to calculate the structure of the operational costs. Only characteristics that were responsible for more than 10% of the profit were studied, which included: number of weaned lambs, food consumption (ewe and […]

It was performed in this work the economic analysis of juvenile Nile Tilapia farming using different stocking densities. The experiment was carried out in an aquaculture area, using random block designs with four stocking densities (100, 200, 300 and 400 fish m-3), evaluated with six replicates, in two rearing periods: from March to April, 2005 (52 days – initial weight 43.08 ± 2.98 and final weight of 262.14 ± 47.86 g) and from March to April 2006 (58 days – […]
