RESUMO -Foram determinadas as digestibilidades de matéria seca (MS), proteína bruta (PB), extrato etéreo (EE), fibra em detergente neutro (FDN), energia bruta (EB) e nutrientes digestíveis totais (NDT), utilizando-se quatro indicadores internos (FDN -fibra detergente neutro, FDA -fibra detergente ácido, lignina e CIA -cinza insolúvel em ácido). Os três primeiros indicadores foram submetidos à digestibilidade in vitro por três e seis dias, e os resultados foram comparados com dados determinados por intermédio da coleta total de fezes. Verificou-se que a digestibilidade dos nutrientes, quando estimada por intermédio dos teores de FDN, FDA e lignina incubados durante seis dias, não diferiu significativamente da digestibilidade dos nutrientes determinada pela coleta total, enquanto os indicadores incubados durante três dias e a CIA subestimaram a digestibilidade, devido à baixa recuperação destes.Palavras-chave: CIA, coleta total de fezes, FDA, FDN, lignina Evaluation of Internals Markers in Digestibility AssayABSTRACT -The digestibilities of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), gross energy (GE) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) were determined by using four internal markers (acid detergent fiber -ADF and lignin and acid insoluble ash -AIA). The three first markers were submitted to in vitro disappearance for three and six days and the results were compared with data determined by total feces collection. The nutrient digestibility estimated by NDF, ADF and lignin incubated during six days did not differ from that using total feces collection, while the markers incubated during three days and AIA subestimated the digestibility of nutrients, due to their lower recovery.
RESUMO -O consumo de matéria seca (CMS) do capim-coastcross, sob pastejo, de vacas lactantes mestiças (HPB x Gir) e Gir, foi calculado a partir da relação entre a digestibilidade in vitro da MS (DIVMS) da forragem (extrusa colhida com animais esôfago-fistulados) e a produção fecal obtida com auxílio do cromo mordante por meio de um modelo não-linear. A pastagem foi manejada com uma taxa de lotação de 1,6 e 3,2 animais/ha, respectivamente para as épocas seca e chuvosa do ano, num sistema de pastejo rotativo com três dias de ocupação e 27 dias de descanso. 4). Os dados observados utilizando as equações 1 e 2 (12,2 e 12,7 kg/vaca/dia respectivamente) foram similares entre si e superiores aos resultados obtidos na equação 4 (7,8 kg/vaca/dia). Já o resultado obtido pela equação 3 (5,5 kg/vaca/dia) foi menor do que aqueles determinados pelas outras equações, subestimando o CMS calculado a partir do cromo mordante (6,3 kg/vaca/dia). A predição do consumo de forrageiras tropicais sob pastejo, utilizando equações baseadas nas variáveis de degradação, constitui um importante potencial para estas avaliações. Entretanto, mais estudos devem ser realizados antes de se usarem estas equações na prática.Palavras-chave: cromo mordente, degradabilidade, estimativa de consumo, equações de predição, forrageiras tropicais Prediction of Dry Matter Intake Based on Ruminal Degradation from Milking CowsGrazing Coastcross Bermudagrass ABSTRACT -Dry matter intake (DMI) of coastcross bermudagrass grazing by crossbred Holstein-Zebu and Zebu lactating cows was calculated using in vitro dry matter digestibility from extrusa (four esophageal fistulated cows) and fecal output estimate with mordent chromium by the non linear model. Pasture was managed in a rotational system with three days of occupation and 27 days of resting period, adopting a stocking rate of 1.6 and 3.2 cows/ha respectively during the dry and rainy season. Four different equations based on ruminal degradation were used to predict dry matter intake: DMI = -1.19 + 0.035 (a+ b) + 28.5c (1), DMI = -0.822 + 0.0748 (a+ b) + 40.7c (2), DMI = -8.286 + 0.266a + 0.102b +17.696c (3) and DMI = [%FDN na MS]* [FDN intake] / [(1-a-b)/K P +b/(c+ k p )]/24] (4). The coastcross DMI predicted by the equations were different from results obtained with the model (6.3 kg of dry matter/cow/day). The data achieved using the equations 1 and 2 (12.2 and 12.7 kg/cow/day respectively) were similar and superior from results obtained by equation 4 (7.8 kg/ cow/day). Those values overestimated the results obtained using mordent chromium. The data obtained by equation 3 (5.5 kg/cow/day) was lower than those determined by equations and underestimated the DMI calculated with external marker. The prediction of dry matter intake from cows grazing tropical forages using equations based in ruminal degradation parameters constitutes an important potential for those evaluations, but it should be still studied before being employed in practice.
