Glicerina cruda en la dieta de bovinos: efecto sobre los parámetros bioquímicos séricos

El objetivo fue evaluar posibles alteraciones en los valores bioquímicos séricos de bovinos de engorde confinados, recibiendo elevadas concentraciones de glicerina cruda en la dieta. Treinta novillos Nelore fueron utilizados para las colectas de sangre, las cuales se realizaron cada 28 días. Los animales fueron confinados durante 103 días, alimentados con cinco dietas experimentales con 0; 7.5; 15; 22.5 y 30% de glicerina cruda en la materia seca, formuladas para obtener una relación entre forraje: concentrado de 30:70, en la que el ensilaje de maíz fue la fuente forrajera, y el concentrado compuesto por grano de maíz, cascarilla de soya, torta de girasol, glicerina cruda, carbonato de calcio, fosfato bicálcico y sal común. Se utilizó un diseño en bloques al azar, con cinco tratamientos y seis repeticiones, utilizando contrastes ortogonales para determinar los efectos lineal, cuadrático y cúbico de la adición de glicerina. Hubo un efecto lineal de la adición de glicerina sobre las concentraciones de creatina quinasa (P=0.02), cuadrático sobre la de alanina amino transferasa (P=0.009), cúbico sobre la de urea y creatinina (P=0.008 e P=0.002, respectivamente). La adición de glicerina, considerando el tratamiento control, afectó significativamente (P<0.05) las concentraciones de amino transferasa, alanina amino transferasa y creatinina dietas para bovinos tipo carne, con elevadas proporciones de glicerina, ocasionan alteraciones en los parámetros bioquímicos séricos de los animales

Glicerina bruta na dieta de bovinos de corte confinados: efeito sobre o hemograma

Objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar o hemograma de bovinos alimentados com glicerina bruta. Trinta novilhos da raça Nelore foram utilizados para as colheitas de sangue, as quais foram realizadas a cada 28 dias. Os animais foram mantidos confinados durante 103 dias e foram alimentados com cinco dietas contendo 0, 7,5, 15, 22,5 e 30% de glicerina bruta com base na matéria seca, formuladas na proporção volumoso:concentrado de 30:70 sendo a silagem de milho o volumoso e o concentrado composto por milho em grão, casca de soja, farelo de girassol, glicerina, calcário calcítico, fostatobicálcico e sal comum. O delineamento utilizado foi em blocos casualisados com cinco tratamentos. Contrastes ortogonais foram usados para determinar os efeitos linear, quadrático, cúbico e tratamento com glicerina × controle. Não houve efeito dos tratamentos (P>0,05) sobre as concentrações sanguíneas de hemácias, hematócrito, basófilos, eosinófilos, neutrófilos bastonetes e linfócitos, porém houve efeito linear sobre as concentrações de plaquetas, hemoglobina e monócitos (P=0,009, P=0,001 e P=0,043, respectivamente), e efeito cúbico sobre as concentrações de leucócitos totais e neutrófilos segmentados (P=0,008 e P=0,004, respectivamente). Dietas para bovinos de corte, contendo relação volumoso:concentrado 30:70 aditivadas com glicerina bruta, promovem alterações no eritrograma e no leucograma destes animais.The aim of this study was to evaluate the hemogram in cattle fed crude glycerin. 30 Nellore steers, were used for blood sampling, which were done each 28 days. The animals were confined for 103 days and were fed with five diets containing 0, 7.5, 15, 22.5 and 30% crude glycerin based on dry matter, formulated in a forage:concentrate ratio of 30:70. Corn silage was used as forage and the concentrate was composed by corn grain, soybean hulls, sunflower meal, glycerin, limestone, dicalcium phosphate and salt. The experimental design was a randomized block with Five treatments. Orthogonal contrasts were used to determine the linear, quadratic, cubic effects and gliceryn treatments × the control one. There was no treatment effect (P>0,05) on blood concentrations of erythrocytes, hematocrit, basophils, eosinophils, band neutrophils and lymphocytes, but were linearly effect on the concentrations of platelets, hemoglobin and monocytes (P=0.009, P=0.001 and P=0.043, respectivelly), and cubic effect on the concentrations of total leukocytes and segmented neutrophils (P=0.008 and P=0.004, respectivelly). Diets for beef cattle, with forage:concentrate ratio of 30:70 added with crude glycerin promote changes in the erytrhogram and leucogram of these animals.

Sources and management of nitrogen before or after irrigation on the winter wheat and bean production

Studies that demonstrate the effects of sources of nitrogen (N) applied before or after irrigation on the yield of winter crops are limited in literature. In this sense, the objective of this study was to compare the effect of sources of N applied immediately before or after 13 mm irrigation of wheat and bean winter crops. It was used a randomized complete block design, with 4 replicates, in a 5 × 2 + 1 factorial scheme, and 11 treatments consisted of five N sources: urea, polymer-coated urea, urea + ammonium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, and ammonium nitrate and a control treatment (without N fertilization). For wheat, although ammonium nitrate provided great N content in the leaves, the grain yield was lower due to the lodging of the plants; since the application of N either before or after irrigation did not influence the grain yield. Regarding the bean, N fertilization increased productivity, but there were no differences among N sources and, despite the greater N content in the leaves observed with the N supply before irrigation the greatest grain yield was observed when N was applied after the irrigation

Crude glycerin in diets for feedlot Nellore cattle

Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of crude glycerin on feed intake, performance, carcass characteristics, and total digestibility of Nellore bulls. In experiment 1, cattle (n = 30) were fed a control diet without crude glycerin and diets containing 7.5, 15, 22.5, and 30% crude glycerin, for 103 d. Animals were harvested and data of carcass characteristics were collected. In experiment 2, a digestibility trial was performed using indigestible acid detergent fiber (iADF) as internal marker, and five rumen-cannulated steers. Both experiments were conducted as a randomized complete block design and data were analyzed using mixed procedures. In experiment 1 no differences were observed among treatments on dry matter intake, and performance variables. Regarding carcass characteristics, no effect was observed, except for carcass fat estimates, which were greater in treatments with crude glycerin. In experiment 2, crude glycerin promoted a decrease in digestibility of fibrous fractions NDF and HEM, and increased digestibility of crude protein by 6%. Although it caused negative effect on digestibility of fibrous fraction of diets, crude glycerin can be a good energy source for Nellore bulls, since no losses are observed on performance and carcass characteristics when animals are fed up to 30% of this by-product.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP

Determinação do teor de extrato etéreo de grãos de oleaginosas através de diferentes processamentos

The objective of this work was to determine the ether extract content of peanut and canola seeds, with extraction in Soxhlet apparatus and with three types of processing: grinding in ball mill type; maceration in mortar and grind into micro mill after maceration in mortar. Data were analyzed in an entirely randomized design with 3 treatments and 12 replicates, submitted to variance analysis and the means were compared using Tukey test (P<0.05) with routines of the SAS statistical package. The largest percentage of ether extract was obtained in the treatment which the peanuts were subjected to a greater number of extractions (56.43%), and all treatments presented different results(P <0.05). In canola grains, it was observed that the extraction with the method of grinding in ball mill and the method of sequential extraction (macerate + ground in micro mill) were statistically similar (43.52 and 42.35% respectively), and these methods were more efficient (P <0.05) to extract the ether extract than the treatment in which the grains were only macerated. For peanut grains it was concluded that the most efficient method was the sequential one and to the canola grain, it can be used only a grinding mill as samples processing witch will be submitted to ether extract extraction

Determination methods for dry matter of lamb meat

The determination of dry matter is extremely important because when comparing the nutritional value of food, we have to consider the respective levels of dry matter. The study evaluated four drying procedures for lamb meat obtained for the levels from dry matter. The experiment was conducted at UNESP, Jaboticabal. Samples of loin portion of lambs were used. The experimental treatments consisted in determining the dry matter in lyophilizer; lyophilizer followed by klin drying at 105°C; klin with forced airflow at a temperature of 55°C followed by klin drying at 105°C; and klin drying with forced airflow at a temperature of 55°C. The meat samples were triturated in a multiprocessor food. To determine the dry matter in the lyophilizer, samples of 3.5 g of meat were weighed and kept on the lyophilizer for 72 hour. For the method of drying by lyophilizer followed by klin drying at 105°C, samples of 1 g of meat originating from the lyophilization were used, and brought to klin at 105°C for 24 hours. For the conventional method (klin at 55°C followed by klin at 105°C), 3 g of sample were pre-dried at 55°C for 48 hours. After this period, the pre-dried material was crushed and new samples were weighed and dried at 105°C for 24 hours. For the method of drying by klin at 55°C, 3 g of samples were kept in a klin at 55°C for 48 hours. Based on the weights obtained before and after the drying procedures in each of the experimental treatments, the calculations were made to determine the dry matter content of the samples. The experimental design was randomized with four treatments and 12 repetitions. The data were submitted to analysis of variance and averages were compared by Tukey test (P0.05) from the lyophilized ones and were subsequently submitted to the klin at 105°C. The results of the 1st dry matter in a klin at 55°C were similar (P>0.05) to the ones obtained in the lyophilizer. The dry matter obtained by the lyophilization process should be considered as a first dry matter, and to obtain the final dry matter, samples must be submitted to the oven at 105°C for 24 hours

Conductas de ingestión en bovinos de la raza Nelore recibiendo altas concentraciones de glicerina cruda

The objective of this study was to evaluate the inclusion of up to 30% crude glycerin in Nellore cattle diets and its effects on feeding behavior parameters. It were used 30 animals with 277.7kg BW and 18 months old, which were kept in feedlot in individual pens during 103 days (21 adaptation and 82 data collection). The animals were assigned (initial weight) in blocks and submitted to the following treatments: G0; G7.5; G15; G22.5; and G30, corresponding to control group, 7.5, 15, 22.5, and 30% crude glycerin in the diet dry matter, respectively. The feeding behavior (feeding, idle, ruminating, number of chews, feeding efficiency and ruminating efficiency) were evaluated for three days. Data were analyzed as a completely randomized block design, analyzing contrasts and observing the significance of linear, quadratic and control treatment × glycerin treatments effects. The inclusion up to 30% crude glycerin in diets of Nellore cattle altered the feeding efficiency, expressed in g NDF h-1, the ruminating efficiency relative to NDF, the time and number of chews per ruminal bolus, facilitating the feed ingestion and directly influencing the time spent on feeding.El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la inclusión de hasta 30% de glicerina cruda en dietas para bovinos de la raza Nelore y su efecto sobre parámetros del comportamiento ingestivo. Se utilizaron 30 animales con 277.7 kg de PV y 18 meses de edad, los cuales fueron mantenidos en confinamiento en corrales individuales durante 103 días (21 de adaptación y 82 de colecta de datos). Los animales fueron divididos en bloques (peso inicial) y sometidos a los siguientes tratamientos: G0; G7.5; G15; G22.5 y G30, correspondientes al grupo control, 7.5, 15, 22.5 y 30% de glicerina cruda en la materia seca de la dieta, respectivamente. Las conductas del comportamiento (alimentación, ocio, rumia, número de masticaciones merícicas, eficiencias de alimentación y rumia) se evaluaron durante tres días. Los datos fueron analizados según un diseño en bloques al azar, realizando análisis de contrastes y observando la significancia de los efectos lineal y cuadrático y del tratamiento control × tratamientos con glicerina. La inclusión de hasta 30% de glicerina cruda en la dieta de los bovinos de la raza Nelore alteró la eficiencia de alimentación, expresada en g FDN h-1, la eficiencia de rumia en relación al FDN, el tiempo y número de masticaciones merícicas por bolo ruminal, facilitando la ingestión de los alimentos, e influenciando directamente el tiempo de alimentación
