“…However, supplementation with cottonseed cake and coconut meal needs to be used with caution as it may decrease animal performance variables ( 78 , 79 ). Castor meal and licuri cake are also by-products with the potential to be used as a protein source ( 80 , 81 ). On the other hand, sunflower meals did not show satisfactory results regarding performance and other characteristics as a protein alternative ( 82 ).…”

Technologies Used in Production Systems for Santa Inês Sheep: A Systematic Review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study identifies the number of publications that presented technologies used in the production systems of Santa Inês sheep in the last 5 years (2017–2021) carried out in Brazil. Therefore, the objective was to identify where we are in terms of knowledge about technologies in different fields (health, reproduction, animal breeding, behavior and welfare, nutrition and feeding, forage and pasture, carcass and meat quality, and economics and management of livestock systems). After rigorous selection, 114 studies were appointed and classified by knowledge field, and the main approaches within each theme were evaluated, pointing out research gaps. Most technologies have been in northeastern states. However, government agencies should develop public policies to disseminate techniques in rural areas because the production system in this region is still subsistence. This study highlighted the need for works that present management practices and tools that impact the improvement of animal welfare. Agro-industrial by-products have been widely used as an alternative for sheep feeding. However, economic feasibility analyses are recommended with these foodstuffs to substantiate their use as an option to reduce production costs. There is a lack of research allusive to the management of production systems, especially those related to estimates of economic feasibility indicators.

“…However, the daily harvesting and processing of sugar cane to feed large herds requires a lot of labor, which makes production costly, and the management of the sugarcane crop is hampered by both irregular regrowth and due to planting difficulties (Zulu et al., 2019). Thus, the conservation of this forage via silage concentrates the cutting activities in a single period, favors the food management of the animals, and promotes greater longevity of the sugarcane culture (A. Oliveira et al., 2019).…”

Fermentative profile and nutritional composition of sugarcane silages associated with different levels of moringa hay

et al. 2022

The objective was to evaluate the fermentative profile and nutritional composition of sugarcane silages associated with different levels of moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) hay (0, 10, 20, and 30% on dry matter basis). A completely randomized design was adopted, with four treatments and five repetitions, totaling 20 experimental silos that were opened after 60 d of ensiling. The increase in the levels of the moringa hay provided a linear reduction in the density (P = .0001) and butyric acid (P = .0001) and a linear increase in pH (P = .0001), Ca (P < .0001), Mg (P < .0001), and S (P < .0001) in sugarcane silages. Quadratic effect was observed for fermentative losses (P < .05), dry matter recovery (P = .0001), lactic acid (P = .0141), acetic acid (P = .0001), propionic acid (P = .0001), and ethanol production (P = .0001). Quadratic effect was verified for the chemical composition of the silages (P < .05) and for the contents of K (P < .0012), P (P < .0001), Mn (P < .0001), Na (P < .0001), Cu (P < .0003), Fe (P < .0001), and Zn (P < .0001). The inclusion of 30% of moringa hay in the sugarcane silage reduced fermentative losses and ethanol production and provided an increase in the levels of minerals, protein, and energy of the silages.

“…In this scenario, castor-bean (Ricinus communis L.) meal is a by-product with potential for use in ruminant diets after detoxification (Antunes et al, 2019). The detoxified castor-bean meal (DCM) presents 903 ± 13 g kg -1 DM; 320 ± 58 g kg -1 crude protein; 20 ± 2 g kg -1 ethereal extract; 383 ± 33 g kg -1 neutral detergent fiber; 62 ± 37 g kg -1 non-fibrous carbohydrates (Oliveira et al, 2019;Lima et al, 2020;Araújo et al, 2021). However, most research with DCM in ruminant feeding is conducted in feedlots (Diniz et al, 2011;Gionbelli et al, 2014;Novaes et al, 2020), and little is known about the effects of this ingredient on the production performance of grazing animals, especially beef cattle.…”

The use of agroindustrial byproducts in cattle diets, such as castor-bean (Ricinus communis L.) meal, is a more sustainable practice because it does not compete with human food and reduces the volume of organic waste deposited in the environment. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of replacing soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) meal with castor-bean meal on the intake, digestibility, feeding behavior and performance of crossbred steers supplemented while on Urochloa brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) R.D. Webster 'Marandu' pasture. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete design with 40 animals, which started the experiment weighing 227.1 kg, at 10 mo of age, and were divided into four treatment groups. Castor-bean meal was added to replace soybean meal at the levels of 0, 90, 180, and 280 g kg -1 in the supplement, which was supplied at the rate of 0.4% of body weight. Total DM, pasture DM and neutral detergent fiber intakes did not change (P > 0.05) with the castor-bean levels added to the supplement. Ether extract intake and digestibility decreased linearly (P < 0.05). The animals showed no differences (P > 0.05) in production performance (average daily gain), which averaged 0.65 kg d -1 . Grazing, idle, and rumination times were not influenced (P > 0.05) by the treatments. Castor-bean meal can be included up to 280 g kg -1 in the total diet without changing the performance of crossbred steers finished on tropical pasture.
