Composição corporal e exigências líquidas proteicas de ovinos Santa Inês em crescimento

Abstract: RESUMO -Avaliou-se o efeito de diferentes níveis de energia metabolizável na dieta sobre a composição corporal e as exigências de proteína líquida de 24 ovinos Santa Inês em crescimento, não-castrados, com idade e peso corporal médio de 50 dias e 13,00 ± 0,56 kg. Após um período de adaptação de 10 dias, quatro animais foram abatidos para serem utilizados como referência para as estimativas do peso do corpo vazio (PCVZ) e da composição corporal inicial dos demais. Os animais remanescentes foram distribuídos em … Show more

“…Although fat retains more quantity of energy, its deposition efficiency is higher than efficiency for protein deposition (Geay, 1984) and this is related to the fact that 1 Dietary metabolizability; 2 Calculated according to Harris (1970); 3 Calculated according to AFRC (1993 Table 3 -Energy values of diets and use efficiencies of metabolizable energy in growing Santa Ines sheep the process of synthesis and degradation (turnover) of body protein reduces the energy efficiency of their accumulation; however, the deposition of fat at high levels, as observed in this study (early animals) (Regadas Filho et al, 2011b) can reduce the overall efficiency of use of metabolizable energy for gain, due to the high energy requirement for gain of the same amount of body mass compared with late animals. The high fat deposition shows within a needed biological logic, inasmuch as animals adapted to regions where the seasonality of feed/energy is extremely high, body stores like fat are essential for maintenance of the life of these animals under these conditions.…”

“…The protein requirements for maintenance and weight gain (Regadas Filho et al, 2011b) of Santa Ines sheep with different body weights and daily weight gains is also compiled ( Table 5). The total metabolizable protein requirement of a 20-kg BW animal gaining 200 g/day is 52.64 g/day: about 34% lower than the recommended by NRC (2007), of 71 g/day.…”

“…This result is confirmed by the compactness carcass index, which indicates a higher deposition of muscle tissue per unit of length. The productive performance is related to the process of synthesis, degradation, and deposition of body proteins, which needs higher amounts of energy that can be supplied by diet [38].…”
