“…In uncastrated Moxotó animals, the NE g energy values obtained were from 2.59 to 3.19 Mcal/kg EBW gain in animals weighing from 15 to 25 kg, respectively (Alves et al, 2008a). In the present study, the Canindé goats were castrated, and a higher synthesis of adipose tissue was recorded; it is likely that more fat in the body of these kids may contribute to the higher NE g values at 25 kg.…”

“…Deposition of fat is very important for breeds in arid and semi-arid zones. In studies with indigenous breeds, some authors also found a large deposition during this stage of the animal's growth curve (Alves et al, 2008a;Araújo et al, 2010).…”

“…Alves et al (2008a) evaluated non-castrated Moxotó goats in the same weight range, from 15 to 25 kg, and the proportion of protein in the body composition was also constant, from 200 to 204 g/kg EBW. In the present study, lower protein values (g/kg EBW) were found, possibly because the kids were castrated and have accumulated proportionally more fat compared to grazing animals or animals that are not castrated.…”

“…It is also the most abundant substance in living systems (NRC, 2007), and the percentage of water in the body of goats depends on the alimentation, the age of the animal and the amount of fat, protein and ash present in their bodies (ALVES et al, 2008;DIAS et al, 2008;ARAÚJO et al, 2010). Water requirements for goats vary with the seasons, air temperature, weight, stage of production, type and food intake (ABIOJA et al, 2010), and the animals at elevated temperatures increase water intake, and thus this must be offered to the animals on tropical climate in sufficient quantity and desirable quality (BRASIL et al, 2000;NRC, 2007), aiming to replace losses through perspiration and respiration, besides possible body cooling, through the water contact, colder than the body, with the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, and replace losses through urine, feces and in the milk production.…”

This work aimed to evaluate the preference and water consumption of native goats in the semiarid of Brazil. The water was freely supplied, in individual buckets, one exposed to the sun and the other in the shade. The experiment was realized using 18 animals of Moxotó, Graúna and Azul breeds, with average weight of 16,6 ± 2,4 kg, kept in confinement in individual stalls equipped with feeders and drinkers, during the period from January to February of 2009. The water temperature was measured by sensors (thermocouples type T -copper/constantan), which were coupled to a system of data acquisition. It was observed that the average water temperature exposed to the sun was 29.02 o C, and 23.85 o C in the shade. For all breeds there was a preference for the water exposed to the sun, corresponding to an average consumption of 64.71% of the total. Among the breeds, the greatest preference for water exposed to the sun was the Azul (71.18%), followed by the Moxotó (65.95%) and the Graúna (57.00%). The animals consumed more water during the day, and the average water consumption was 1.15 grams day -1 , corresponding to 6.9 % of body weight of the animals.KEYWORDS: goats behavior, native breeds, water temperature. CONSUMO DE ÁGUA QUANDO EXPOSTA AO SOL E À SOMBRA POR CAPRINOS NATIVOS NO SEMIÁRIDO PARAIBANORESUMO: O trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar a preferência e o consumo de água por caprinos nativos no semiárido brasileiro, fornecida à vontade, em baldes individuais, sendo um exposto ao sol e outro à sombra. O experimento foi realizado, utilizado-se de 18 animais das raça Moxotó, Graúna e Azul, com peso vivo médio de 16,6 ± 2,4 kg, mantidos em confinamento, em baias individuais, providas de comedouro e bebedouro, durante o período de janeiro a março de 2009. A temperatura da água foi medida através de sensores (termopares tipo T -cobre/constantan), que estavam acoplados a um sistema de aquisição de dados. Observou-se que a temperatura média da água exposta ao sol foi de 29,02 o C, e à sombra, de 23,85 o C. Para todas as raças, houve preferência pela água exposta ao sol, correspondendo a um consumo médio de 64,71% do total. Entre as raças, a maior preferência pela água exposta ao sol foi da Azul (71,18%), seguida da Moxotó (65,95%) e Graúna (57,00%). Os animais consumiram mais água no período diurno, sendo o consumo médio de 1.150 gramas dia -1 , correspondendo a 6,9% do peso vivo dos animais.

We aimed to evaluate the effects of diets, based on elephant grass or sugarcane as roughage and corn meal or rice bran as energy concentrate, on performance and body composition in terms of diet intake and digestibility. A total of 30 Santa Ines crossbreds (SIC), castrated male sheep with 19.8 ± 2.0 kg initial body weight (BW) were used. Six animals were slaughtered at the onset of the experiment to estimate the initial body composition for the other animals. The remaining 24 animals were distributed in a completely randomized 2 × 2 factorial design, with four treatments (two roughages and two concentrates) and six replicates. The sheep were slaughtered when they reached 30.0 kg BW. Elephant grass diets provided higher intake and digestibility than sugarcane diets for the following contents: dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre, minerals, total carbohydrates (TC), and total digestible nutrients (TDN). Among the concentrates, corn meal diets were associated with higher intakes than rice bran diets for the following contents: DM, OM, CP, TC, and TDN. Animals from all of the treatments exhibited low average daily weight gain and low protein and high fat and energy body levels. Sugarcane and rice bran can be used as ingredients in diets for sheep with low weight gain potential. Regardless of roughage or concentrate types used in diets for confined SIC sheep, performance and body composition remained unaltered.
