The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of nutritional plans and breed composition on nutrient intake and digestibility, nitrogen balance, and performance of dairy heifers in tropical conditions. Thirty-six heifers - 12 Holstein, 12 Gyr, and 12 Gyrolando F1 (½ Holstein × ½ Gyr) - were housed in a tie-stall system and randomly distributed, adopting a completely randomized design in a 3×3 factorial arrangement (nutritional plans and breed composition). The diets were formulated to enable weight gains of 200, 400, and 800 g per day, corresponding to the nutritional plans 11, 14, and 19 g kg-1 body weight (BW), respectively. The intake of dry matter, fibrous fractions (g kg-1 BW-0.75), and metabolizable energy (kcal-1 BW-0.75) in the 11-g kg-1 plan were greater for Gyr heifers than for Gyrolando and Holstein heifers. Ether extract digestibility was 13.85% higher for Gyr heifers compared with Gyrolando F1 in the 19-g kg-1 plan. The increase in the nutritional plans shows a quadratic response to nutrient intake and a linear response to average daily gain, but does not affect the digestibility coefficients. Gyr and Gyrolando F1 heifers present similar nutritional efficiency to that of Holstein heifers.
RESUMOObjetivou-se avaliar os níveis de glicerina bruta (GB), 0, 20, 40, 60 e 80g/kg de matéria seca (MS) de silagem de sorgo sobre a cinética da fermentação, 0, 30, 60 e 90g/kg de MS de silagem sobre a cinética de degradação da fibra em detergente neutro (FDN), e os níveis 0, 17, 33, 55 e 70g/kg de MS de silagem sobre o consumo e a digestibilidade da MS, os compostos nutricionais e o balanço de nitrogênio em cordeiros. O volume e a taxa de degradação dos carboidratos não fibrosos (Vcnf) e (Kdcnf), respectivamente, apresentaram comportamento quadrático, sendo estimado Vcnf máximo (126,62mL/g de MS) e Kdcnf mínima (0,0782/h) para inclusão de 54,85g e 58,75g GB/kg de MS, respectivamente. Já o tempo de colonização (L), apresentou um decréscimo linear de 0,013h para cada 10g de GB/kg de MS. Houve redução linear de 0,996% na degradação para fração B. Não houve efeito significativo da inclusão de GB sobre o consumo e a digestibilidade da MS, os compostos nutricionais e o balanço de nitrogênio. A utilização de GB entre 50 e 70g/kg de MS em dietas à base de silagem de sorgo pode ser fonte alternativa de energia para cordeiros.Palavras-chave: alimento alternativo, coproduto, glicerol, valor nutricional,volumoso ABSTRACTThis study aimed to assess the levels of crude glycerin (CG) 0, 20, 40, 60 and Entre os coprodutos gerados pela cadeia produtiva do biodiesel com potencial de uso na http://dx
