Aspectos produtivos e econômicos de novilhos mestiços alimentados com suplementos proteico-energéticos contendo ureia

Abstract: RESUMO -Objetivou-se avaliar o desempenho produtivo, a eficiência econômica e a taxa de ingestão do suplemento em novilhos mestiços em pastejo no período da seca. Foram utilizados 20 novilhos Holandês × Zebu, não-castrados, com 19 meses de idade e peso médio inicial de 315,0 kg distribuídos em quatro piquetes de Brachiaria decumbens com 3,0 ha cada.Cada animal recebeu 4,0 kg/dia de suplemento, constituído de milho moído, farelo de algodão, mistura mineral e ureia/sulfato de amônia em quatro níveis: 0; 1,2; 2,4… Show more

“…Similar results were found by Moraes et al (2012), who studied the intake and digestibility of nutrients in cattle receiving different urea levels and observed an increase in the intakes of DM and NDF as urea was added to the diet. As stated by these authors, when NPN sources are added, the energy uptake from the diet must be increased to allow an appropriate rumen function, which can be attributed to the maximization of microbial protein synthesis.…”

“…The surplus ammonia produced in the rumen was likely not used by the fibrolytic microorganisms for microbial synthesis and consequently did not provide a higher degradation rate of fibrous carbohydrates. Detmann et al (2011) and Moraes et al (2012) used Brachiaria decumbens with high lignin content, which resulted in higher indigestible fiber. In the present study, we used the deferred buffelgrass, which is a fast-growing grass and presents lower lignin content (Table 1) (Santos et al, 2005); hence, NPN inclusion did not increase dry matter intake because it did not increase the digestibility of buffelgrass.…”

“…Contudo Moraes et al (2012) ao analisarem quatro níveis de inclusão de ureia, 0; 1,2; 2,4; 3,6% MS na dieta de bovinos sob pastejo na época da seca, concluíram que o maior retorno econômico (R$/dia 0,404) foi obtido com o nivel de 2,4% de ureia no suplemento, uma vez que esse nível promoveu ganho superior aos demais.…”

“…Em consequência da estacionalidade no crescimento, há decréscimo na massa de forragem acompanhada de aumento nas frações indigestíveis, que resulta em decréscimo no valor nutritivo. Moraes et al (2012) afirmaram que durante a estação da seca, a produção animal em pastagens tropicais é caracterizada pelo baixo desempenho ou pela perda de peso quando os animais não são suplementados.…”
