Desempenho e desenvolvimento do trato digestório superior de bezerros leiteiros alimentados com concentrado de diferentes formas físicas

Abstract: RESUMO -Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o efeito da forma física do concentrado no desempenho e no desenvolvimento ruminal de bezerros leiteiros. Foram utilizados 22 bezerros Holandeses com peso corporal inicial médio de 43,2 kg, alojados individualmente e alimentados com dieta líquida (4 L/d) e concentrado inicial de duas formas físicas (peletizada ou farelada). O consumo de concentrado inicial foi monitorado diariamente e os animais pesados semanalmente, sempre após o fornecimento da dieta líquida, pe… Show more

“…Regarding the abomasum weight, the highest values observed for this compartment in the treatments with crude glycerin were associated with greater DMI. At birth (reference), the abomasum occupied a greater proportion, but with the ingestion of solid feedstuffs the rumen-reticulum occupied a greater proportional weight, in agreement with other research with calves of equivalent ages (Khan et al, 2007;Bittar et al, 2009). Papilla development is linked to the presence of solid feedstuffs in the rumen, short-chain fatty acid production resulting from fermentation, and the stimulus caused by the feedstuffs (Sander et al, 1959;Tamate et al, 1962).…”

“…For an average lactation period of 60 days, the intake of concentrate was below the 300 g/day expected, according to Bittar et al (2009). The possible causes of low intake of concentrate could not be detected in this experiment.…”

“…A few years ago, the supply of processed concentrates to suckling calves was thought to be essential (laminate, pelletized, flaked, etc. ), but new studies have found that different densities (283 g/L, 360 g/L, 437 g/L) of flaked corn resulted in similar performance (Bagaldo et al, 2001) and that the type of grain processing (flaked corn vs. rolled corn) did not affect the performance of heifers (Nussio et al, 2003); likewise, the physical form of the concentrate (mash or pellets) did not influenc intake or performance of suckling heifers (Bittar et al, 2009). Thus, the supply of non-processed grains in the concentrate can be an alternative to reduce production costs.…”

“…O consumo de alimentos sólidos, especificamente de concentrado, possui relação direta com o desenvolvimento do rúmen, sendo utilizado como critério para o desaleitamento de bezerros (Bittar et al 2009). Kristensen et al (2007), embora sem grandes mudanças no desenvolvimento ruminal, observaram que bezerros, até cinco semanas de idade, alimentados com quatro quantidades diferentes de sucedâ-neos (3,1; 4,8; 6,6 e 8,3 litros por dia) e com concentrado à vontade, apresentaram maiores consumos de concentrado nos tratamentos com menor ingestão de sucedâneo.…”
