Physical-mechanical properties of multinutrient blocks with different binders for goats and sheep intake

Abstract: Feed supplementation with multinutrient blocks (MB) for sheep and goats can be a viable alternative in the Brazilian semiarid region, and it is necessary to set an ideal hardness to obtain maximum feed efficiency. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the manufacture of MB using five binders: Portland cement, lime, kaolin, Portland cement + kaolin and lime + bentonite, at two percentages (7.5 and 10%) and two healing times (72 and 96 h). The experimental design was completely randomized in a 5 x 2 x 2 factor… Show more

“…Hygroscopic properties of protein and energy sources in winter blocks may have aided water absorption winter block specimens. Water absorption relates to the quality of the block, a higher water absorption value indicates a quick release of nutrients and vulnerability to bites by the animals (Furtado et al, 2018).…”

“…Water absorption tests were performed at Chinhoyi University of Technology, Animal Production and Technology Laboratory after 10 days of drying by initially weighing the block specimens, soaking them in distilled water for 24 hours then weighing again the specimens after removing from water and wiping using a damp cloth. Water absorption values were obtained from the formula given below, based on NBR 9778 as cited in (Furtado et al, 2018). Water absorption tests were carried out in a completely randomized design.…”
