<b>Replacement of soybean meal by conventional and coated urea in dairy cows: intake, digestibility, production and composition of milk</b>

Abstract: ABSTRACT. This study evaluated the effect of dairy cows' diets containing two different sources of urea on dry matter intake, nutrient apparent digestibility, and milk production and composition. Eight crossbred cows (Holandês x Zebu) were confined and randomly assigned to four sequential diets distributed in two 4 x 4 Latin: SM = soybean meal; SRU 0 = conventional urea (CU) 100%/slow release urea (SRU) 0%; SRU 44 = CU 56%/SRU 44%; SRU 88 = CU 12%/SRU 88%. Experimental periods consisted of 21 days, with total … Show more

“…This result can be explained in part by the quadratic effect, with the minimum point observed for the FN expressed as % NI (Figure 2B), which has a direct effect on the loss of N by the fecal route and consequently on the uptake of N by this route. In addition, these results are in agreement with the premise that SRU provides a slower degradation and release of N in the ruminal environment, which can provide an improvement in the efficiency of utilization of both N and energy sources within the rumen GONÇALVES et al, 2014). This agrees with the data obtained for the coefficient of digestibility of CP by Geron et al (2016), who found that the inclusion of 0.66% SRU provided the highest estimated value of 63.55% for CP digestibility.…”

“…Nitrogen compounds are decomposed by rumen microbial enzymes, and microorganisms can use these products to make their own proteins (microbial proteins) to produce milk (Broderick et al, 2009;Highstreet et al, 2010;Gardinal et al, 2017). Urea is the NPN compound that is used most because it is readily available and costs less than protein sources such as SBM (Gonçalves et al, 2014;Gardinal et al, 2016;Joysowal et al, 2019). The amount of urea that can be used is limited because of its toxicity (Huntington et al, 2006;Kertz, 2010;Saleem et al, 2012).…”

“…A concentração de gordura no leite de vacas alimentadas com NNP situa-se próximo de 3,5% (Gonçalves et al, 2014), valor inferior ao encontrado neste trabalho (4,92%). Provavelmente a alta proporção de volumoso utilizada nas dietas experimentais (80%) associado ao atendimento das exigências para o crescimento microbiano, promoveram maior digestão da fibra, modificando a produção de ácidos graxos voláteis, aumentando a relação acetato:propionato e consequentemente, disponibilizando maior quantidade de acetato, precursor para formação de gordura no leite.…”

“…Neste sentido, o uso de animais de genética condizente com o ambiente tropical permite maior flexibilidade em resposta à produção de leite, dado a rusticidade e resistência ao ambiente, observado em vacas mestiças de genética Holandês/Zebu (Laguna et al, 2013;Ruas et al, 2009;Ruas et al, 2014;Santos et al, 2012). Assim, considerando-se a maior capacidade adaptativa dos animais mestiços, o uso de fontes e alimentos alternativos deve ser explorado ao máximo na dieta destes.…”
