Desempenho e características das fibras musculares esqueléticas de cordeiros nascidos de ovelhas que receberam suplementação alimentar em diferentes períodos da gestação

Abstract: observed in the diameters of muscular fibers at birth (11.61 mm) and at weaning (27.65 mm) comparing all treatments. The number of muscular fibers, weight, and length of the semitendinosus muscle averaged 1,454, 21.04 g, and 8.43 cm, respectively, and were all unaffected by the supplementation at different stages of pregnancy. It can be concluded that supplementing ewes during gestation is not recommended if animals are fed tanzaniagrass plus a cassava by-product (CO treatment).

“…The myofiber diameter and number as well as weight and size of lamb hindlimb muscles are probably not traits that can be changed by supplementation of dams during gestation, regardless of the period, as has been reported by Mexia et al (2006) for the semitendinosus muscle of lambs raised on pasture with supplementation.…”

“…A determinação do diâmetro foi obtida pela mensuração do menor diâmetro das fibras (Dubowitz & Brooke, 1973 (Mexia et al, 2006). Para determinação dos coeficientes de digestibilidade, foram utilizados 21 peixes com peso médio de 258,7 ± 27,3 g. Foi determinado o coeficiente de digestibilidade aparente no tempo de cada ração, em duplicata, considerando repetição o pool de fezes dos peixes de cada aquário.…”
