Nutritional value of grass silage of mombasa associated with additives agroindustrial / Valor nutricional de silagem de capim-mombaça com aditivos agroindustriais

It was aimed to evaluate the chemical composition of grass silage-mombasa associated with different additives in four times of opening the silo. The experiment was conducted in UFGD. After harvesting the forage, biomass in natura crushed, was taken to the lab, homogenized and enriched on the basis of natural mass, with the following additives: 5% wheat bran, 5% of waste (broken grain and soy ice cream cone) of soybean, 5% urea in natural matter and the witness (without additive).The silos were opened after (unprocessed material), 15, 30 and 45 days, for the analysis of chemical composition. The data obtained were analyzed through the statistical programme SISVAR and averages were compared to 5% of probability, by Skott-Knot. The grass silage- mombasa without additive presented major (P 0.05) dry matter content compared to other treatments at time 0 and 30 days of silage and did not differ (P>0.05) of grass silage- mombasa associated with 5 of urea in 15 days and 45 of silage. The grass silage-mombasa  with 5% urea showed the highest crude protein content at time 0 and differed from other treatments. The silage of mombasa associated with 5% urea provided greater in vitro digestibility of dry matter to 15 days of silage.(AU)

Objetivou-se avaliar a composição química da silagem de capim-mombaça associada com diferentes aditivos em quatro tempos de abertura do silo. O experimento foi conduzido na UFGD. Após a colheita da forragem, a biomassa in natura triturada, foi levada ao laboratório, homogeneizada e enriquecida, na base da massa natural, com os seguintes aditivos: 5% de farelo de trigo, 5% de resíduos (grão quebrado e casquinha de soja) de soja, 5% de ureia da matéria natural e a testemunha (sem aditivo). Os silos foram abertos após (matéria in natura), 15, 30 e 45 dias, para a análise da composição química. Os dados obtidos foram analisados por meio do programa estatístico SISVAR e as médias foram comparadas a 5% de probabilidade, pelo teste de Skott-Knot. A silagem de capim-mombaça sem aditivo apresentou maior (P 0,05) teor de matéria seca em relação aos demais tratamentos no tempo 0 e 30 dias de ensilado e não diferiu (P>0,05) da silagem de capim-mombaça associada com 5% de ureia nos dias 15 e 45 de ensilagem. A silagem de capim-mombaça com 5% de ureia apresentou maior teor de proteína bruta no tempo 0 de abertura e diferiu dos demais tratamentos. A silagem de mombaça associada com 5% de ureia proporcionou maior digestibilidade in vitro da matéria seca aos 15 dias de ensiladas.(AU)

Consumo, digestibilidade aparente de nutrientes e balanços de nitrogênio e hídrico de ovinos alimentados com silagens de cultivares de capim-búfel / Intake, apparent digestibility of nutrients and nitrogen and water balances of sheep fed with buffel grass cultivars silages

Objetivou-se no presente estudo determinar o consumo, digestibilidade aparente da matéria seca e nutrientes, além dos balanços de nitrogênio (BN) e hídrico (BH), de ovinos alimentados com silagens de capim-búfel. As silagens das cultivares de capim-búfel avaliadas foram Tanzânia, Buchuma e Biloela. Utilizaram-se 21 ovinos, machos, castrados, mestiços Santa Inês x Sem Padrão de Raça Definido, com peso corporal médio inicial de 31,8±3,16kg, mantidos em gaiolas metabólicas. Foi utilizado um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com sete repetições. Não foram observadas diferenças nos consumos de MS em g/dia (919,2) e porcentagem do peso corporal (2,9). De modo geral, os coeficientes de digestibilidade da matéria seca variaram de 37,7% a 60,0%. Os BN e BH foram positivos, sendo observados maiores valores de BN para os ovinos alimentados com silagens de capim-búfel dos cultivares Tanzânia (5,1g/dia) e Biloela (3,9g/dia), e maiores BH para os animais alimentados com silagens de capim-búfel dos cultivares Buchuma (1,38kg/animal/dia) e Biloela (1,42kg/animal/dia). Os cultivares de capim-búfel Tanzânia, Buchuma e Biloela apresentaram bom valor nutritivo, sendo que o capim-búfel na forma de silagem promoveu 60% do consumo total de água diário do animal.

The objective of this present experiment was to determine intake and apparent digestibility of dry matter and nutrients, nitrogen (NB) and water balances (WB) of sheep fed with buffel grass silages. The buffel grass cultivars used were Tanzania, Buchuma and Biloela. 21 male, castrated, crossbred Santa Ines x Non defined genotype sheep, with initial body weight of 31.8±3.16kg were used, kept in metabolic cages. The experimental design was completely randomized with seven replicates. No differences were observed in dry matter intake in g/day (919.2) and % of body weight (2.9). In general, digestibility coefficients of dry matter varied from 37.7% to 60.0%. The NB and WB were positive, with higher NB values in sheep fed with Tanzania (5.1g/day) and Biloela (3.9g/day) and higher WB in animals fed with Buchuma (1.38kg/animal/day) and Biloela (1.42kg/animal/day). All cultivars of buffel grass evaluated (Tanzania, Buchuma and Biloela) presented adequate chemical composition, where the silage of buffel grass used corresponded to 60% of the total daily water intake by sheep.

Utilização de feno ou silagem de maniçoba em substituição ao feno de tifton 85 na alimentação de ovinos

The objective was to evaluate the subsitution of Tifton 85 hay (Cynodon sp.) For hay or silage (Manihot sp.) In diets without defined breed growing on weight gain, carcass yield and commercial cuts. We used 24 (twenty four) animals, with initial weight of 19.77 ± 1.95 kg and average age of six months, distributed in a randomized block design. The total duration of the experiment was 71 days, 15 days for diet adaptation and 56 for data collection. There was no difference in crude protein (P> 0.05) difference was found for the consumption of neutral detergent fiber between treatments (P 0.05) for carcass weight and yield, loss of cooling (LC) and true yield (RV) between treatments. There was no difference in the yields of cuts (%) by the use of hay or silage to replace Maniçoba of Tifton. There was also no significant difference (P> 0.05) for the morphometric measurements of carcass. The hay and silage can replace Maniçoba Tifton hay in sheep feeding finishing without compromising weight gain, feed conversion, carcass yield and carcass characteristics.
