Effects of Tropical Legume (\u3cem\u3eStylosanthes cv.\u3c/em\u3e Campo Grande) Silage and Dietary Protein Levels on Animal Performance of Finishing Beef Cattle
Recently, the interest in legume silage for livestock systems has increased in tropical countries (Heinritz et al., 2012) because of the high inclusion of the protein sources in the concentrate used in feedlot diets, like soybean meal. Stylosanthes cv. Campo Grande was developed in Brazil and this cultivar has a good adaptation to tropical conditions, as soils with low fertility and high acidity (Fernandes et al., 2005). Recently, this legume has been indicated for silage making because of its nutritional value and previous results with beef cattle have showed similar performance and digestibility in comparison with corn silage (Souza et al., 2014). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Stylosanthes cv. Campo Grande silage (StS) and corn silage (CS) with two dietary protein levels
Braneworld gravity within non-conservative gravitational theory
We investigate the braneworld gravity starting from the non-conservative
gravitational field equations in a five-dimensional bulk. The approach is based
on the Gauss-Codazzi formalism along with the study of the braneworld
consistency conditions. The effective gravitational equations on the brane are
obtained and the constraint leading to a brane energy-momentum conservation is
analyzed.Comment: 7 page
