Uso da cana-de-açúcar na alimentação de ruminantes

Abstract: Objetiva-se com essa revisão abordar os aspectos relevantes à utilização da cana-de-açúcar na alimentação de ruminantes. A cana-de-açúcar é uma forrageira que apresenta elevada produtividade de massa por área, o que representa a principal vantagem de sua utilização. Entretanto, o corte diário é um empecilho para sua adoção em muitas propriedades. Opções como o tratamento químico da cana-de-açúcar in natura ou a ensilagem são válidas, mas possuem limitações. A cana-de-açúcar sempre foi considerada uma forrageir… Show more

“…However, the high dry matter yield per unit area is the main factor that still encourages its use (SIQUEIRA et al, 2012). The whole maize plant also has a high dry matter production potential per unit area, but it has a nutritional value that is higher than the cane (ZEOULA et al, 2003) (Table 5), thus giving it the potential to feed dairy cattle.…”

“…Sugar cane has a low nutritional value (SIQUEIRA et al, 2012) (Table 5), which limits its use in dairy herds, and is only recommended for average, low production animals. However, the high dry matter yield per unit area is the main factor that still encourages its use (SIQUEIRA et al, 2012).…”

“…The reduction of the NDF:Pol ratio contributed to increasing digestibility values, leading to greater energy intake (Siqueira et al, 2012). According to Mello et al (2006), this parameter is important in the choice of varieties for ruminant feeding, as its average is lower than 3.03%.…”

“…The latter factor confers sugarcane an advantage as a forage plant because tropical forages suffer quantitative and qualitative losses during the dry season, which is when sugarcane contains the highest energy content in the form of sucrose (ABRANCHES; BOLONHEZI, 2011). Various studies have been performed on the use of sugarcane as animal feed; however, the nutritional value of this crop has been the object of much discussion, primarily with regard to identifying varieties with more suitable characteristics for forage production and with regard to management (SIQUEIRA et al, 2012). The hypothesis postulated by Boin et al (1987), i.e., that the best forage sugarcane varieties are those that exhibit a high proportion of leaves and stems relative to the total green matter, is no longer supported because the green matter yield and nutritional value must also be considered together with the sugar content and neutral detergent fiber fraction (NDF).…”
