“…This was a result similar to that found by Homem et al (2016), who also observed that the SW doses led to an increasing linear behaviour of 4%. The dry matter digestibility "in vitro" was significant for the SW doses and irrigation, with an average value of 66%, close to that found by Melo et al (2016) on 'Piatã' grass (66.8%). Fonseca et al (2007) did not observe significant effects between the crude protein rate among the treatments of human wastewater.…”

“…Tropical forage grasses have high potentials of dry matter production, associated with a high nutrient demand. Some reports about 'Piatã' grass present dry matter accumulation between 40 and 98 kg ha -1 day -1 (Nantes et al 2013, Melo et al, 2016, and even higher values under irrigation, up to 169.4 kg ha -1 day -1 (Gomes et al, 2014). Orrico Junior et al (2013) observed an increase in the crude protein rate in the 'Piatã' grass under irrigation and application of SW, with values varying from 17.6 to 19.4%, when applying SW doses between 0 and 300 m 3 ha -1 .…”

The Brazilian swine production has been grown 38.9% in the last decade. Inherent to the process, the pollution potential has increased which brings environmental concerns, especially about the final disposal of swine wastewater (SW). In this context, this work aimed to evaluate the responses of 'Piatã' grass (Urochloa brizantha, cv. BRS 'Piatã') to the fertilization with SW, with and without supplemental irrigation. The experiment was carried out for one year from March 2014 to March 2015. The experiment was conducted in a split-plot with a random blocks experimental design with four replications. The treatments in the plots were referred to the use of irrigation (with and without), and in the subplots to the SW doses (four doses: 75, 150, 225 and 300 m 3 ha -1 ). In the irrigated treatment, the irrigation was fulfilled to re-establish soil moisture in the field capacity (Ө fc ). The parameters used to verify the treatments were: total forage yield (TFY), leaves and stems yield (LSY), crude protein rate (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and in vitro dry matter digestibility (DivDM). There was a significant increasing effect for doses, reaching a mean TFY of 41.92 Mg ha -1 at the dose of 300 m 3 ha -1 . The combination of the highest dose of SW combined with supplemental irrigation produced the best results of TFY and LSY with (47.8 and 41.9 Mg ha -1 year -1 , respectively). Irrigation also led to the best results per cycle, with the highest forage accumulation in spring, 12.28 and 8.55 Mg ha -1 for irrigated and non-irrigated treatments, respectively. In the bromatological parameters, supplemental irrigation led to the highest average levels of CP, ADF and DivDM of 16.7%, 33.8% and 66.5%, respectively. The NDF did not respond to irrigation and SW doses. The research allowed concluding that irrigation and SW fertigation brought quantitative and qualitative benefits to 'Piatã' grass production.

“…The chemical composition of concentrate and forages offered to the animals during the experimental period is described in Table 2. Body weight was measured every 30 days, using a digital scale, after a solid-feed deprivation period of 12 h. Afterwards, the animals were assessed for body condition score (BCS) [4] on a scale of 1 to 5 points, where 1 = very thin, 2 = thin, 3 = slightly fat, 4 = fat, and 5 = very fat.…”

“…The use of pasture-based systems with tropical forage grasses has yielded satisfactory results. The high biomass production per unit area and nutritional value of herbage, coupled with the low production cost, contribute to these results [4]. The better use of herbage produced in pasture-based systems influences the feeding behavior of animals, allowing for increased nutrient intake [5].…”

Biometric measurements of Santa Inês meat sheep reared on Brachiaria brizantha pastures in Northeast Brazil

This study was undertaken to examine biometric measurements during the growth phase of male and female Santa Inês sheep reared in Brachiaria brizantha pastures in northeastern Brazil. The experiment involved 24 castrated males and 24 females at an initial age of 90 days, with an average body weight of 19.04 ± 0.96 kg. Treatments consisted of the effect of four cultivars (Marandu, Xaraés, Piatã and Paiaguás) and two sexes. Six animals were used per treatment, in a randomized-block experimental design. The following characteristics were evaluated: abdominal circumference (AC), body condition score (BCS), body length (BL), body weight (BW), body capacity 1 (BC 1 ), body capacity 2 (BC 2 ), chest width (CW), heart girth (HG), leg circumference (LC), leg length (LL), rump height (RH), rump width (RW) and withers height (WH). Data were subjected to descriptive analysis, Pearson’s correlation, ANOVA and Tukey’s, Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Univariate and multiple regressions were applied to estimate BW with a maximum error level of 5%. Significant differences were observed for the biometric measurements between sexes and cultivars (p<0.05). Body weight was highly correlated (>70%) with AC, WH, CG, RW, BC 1 and BC 2 . The male sheep grazed on cultivars Piatã showed the best values for BW (40.43 kg), HG, RW, WH, LL, LC (102.46; 20.8; 65.23; 60.44; 42.54 cm respectively) and BC 1 (4.25 kg/cm). Females grazed on cultivar Marandu had higher values for RW, CW, LL (17.26; 20.1; 75.98 cm respectively), BC 1 (6.03 kg/cm) and BC 2 (0.422 kg/cm). The equations that best estimated live weight were BC 1 and HG. In male and female Santa Inês sheep, biometric parameters grow differently depending on the cultivar where they are grazed during the growth phase. Cultivars Marandu and Piatã are the most recommended for sheep production, as they provided the best performance and body development in those animals.
