Digestão do feno de capim-elefante anão (Pennisetum purpureum Schum. cv. Mott) sob diferentes níveis de consumo em ovinos

Abstract: Foram utilizados doze ovinos Texel × Corriedale machos, castrados, com 12 meses de idade e peso vivo (PV) inicial médio de 27kg, mantidos em gaiolas de metabolismo, em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, conduzido em dois períodos, para avaliar o efeito do nível de consumo (base matéria seca (MS)) de feno de capim elefante anão (CEA) (1,50; 1,75; 2,00; 2,25; 2,50% do PV e ad libitum) sobre a digestão nesses animais. A digestibilidade aparente da MS, da matéria orgânica (MO) e do nitrogênio (N), bem como … Show more

“…Numerous researches (Atti et al., 2002; Doreau et al., 2003; Morais et al., 2007) have found increased diet digestibility as feed intake decreases, and it has been usually associated to reductions in passage rate of the digesta through the gastrointestinal tract. This relationship has been observed in both sheep and cattle, being more pronounced when animals are fed above the maintenance level (Atti et al., 2002).…”

“…In conclusion, our results suggest that a more effective chewing during rumination activity can have an important role on feed digestion in animals submitted to feed restriction. high-forage diets (Morais et al, 2007), and little interest has been devoted to the animal behaviour. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the level of intake on diet digestibility and chewing patterns of sheep fed a diet with a moderate concentrate level.…”
