Performance of rearing female hoggets under different feeding strategies

Abstract: -The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of Texel × Ile de France female hoggets on pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke) pastures fed supplementation with cassava meal or corn gluten. It was used a completely randomized experimental design, with three treatments (feed strategies) and two area replications. Feed strategies consisted of supplementation of the pastures with cassava meal or corn gluten in comparison to exclusive pasture. Supplements were given daily at 9:00 a.m. at q… Show more

“…In the Brazilian semi-arid region, especially in the most critical period of dry season when pasture availability is minimal, it is common for producers to confine the sheep and offer better feed management, so that they maintain their weight, body condition and are fit for reproduction when the time comes. The confinement is also a practice for the recovery of postpartum or low weight females, preparing them for reproduction (Rosa et al 2007, Jochims et al 2011Rocha et al 2014) or fattening of females for slaughter (Pinheiro et al 2015). In addition to the nutritional management and genotype the comfort of the animals in the facilities has relevant importance, since in the semi-arid the thermal stress can be a limiting factor to sheep reproduction.…”
