“…Additionally, we can attribute the greater TDN intake of the cows (up to the LC level of 75 g/ kg) to the increased intake of EE and digestible NDF. Licuri cake inclusion in the animal diet will usually reduce TDN intake (Costa et al, 2016;Silva et al, 2020).…”

“…Researchers who replaced soybean meal (the main dietary source of protein) with LC in the diet of sheep described a decrease in nutrient intake and digestibility, performance, and carcass traits (Santos et al, 2015;Costa et al, 2016). More recently, studies have suggested the possibility of including up to 100 g/kg LC in high-grain diets for steers and goat kids (Silva et al, 2020;Silva et al, 2022). However, if we consider nutritional requirements as a major factor in the formulation of a diet, there exist recommendations for LC in diets for other animal categories, such as cull cows, especially in high-grain diets.…”

Licuri cake (LC) is an interesting alternative nutritional component for high-grain diets for ruminants due to its high protein (21.6% CP), fat (12.0% EE), and fiber (62.8% NDF) contents. We investigated the effect of increasing levels of LC inclusion on the intake, digestibility, feeding behavior, performance, and carcass traits of cull cows fed high-grain diets. Forty Zebu cows with an initial weight of 318 ± 38.1 kg, at 105 months of age, were confined in collective stalls and fed (ad libitum) a diet containing 0, 50, 100, or 150 g/kg LC on a diet dry matter (DM) basis. Licuri cake inclusion induced quadratic responses (P < 0.05) in the intakes of DM (9.57 kg/day at 97.8 g/kg LC), crude protein (CP; 1.02 kg/day at 91.7 g/kg LC), and total digestible nutrients (6.68 kg/day at 75.2 g/kg LC). The digestibility of DM, CP, and non-fibrous carbohydrates decreased linearly (P < 0.05). Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) intake and rumination efficiencies increased linearly (P < 0.05) with the inclusion of LC in the diet. The inclusion of LC did not influence (P > 0.05) on daily weight gain, hot carcass weight, or back fat thickness in the carcass. Therefore, we recommend the inclusion of up to 150 g/kg LC in high-grain diets for feedlot cull cows.

“…The best image of the loin-eye area was captured by measuring it from the medial side of the Longissimus muscle to its lateral side of the midline. The length (A, cm) and maximum depth (B, cm) of the muscle were measured to calculate LEA (in cm 2 ) using the following ellipse formula: LEA = A/2 × B/2 × π (Silva Sobrinho et al, 2003). Using the same image, SFT was also determined (in mm) over the said muscle area.…”

“…Loin-eye area was determined by making a cross section between the 12th and 13th thoracic vertebrae and tracing the outline of the muscle on acetate sheet, in correspondence with the cranial portion of the loin. The maximum distance and depth of the muscle were measured with a ruler and calculated from the formula proposed by Silva Sobrinho et al (2003), as previously mentioned in the ultrasound evaluation of LEA. The subcutaneous fat thickness in the carcass was measured (in mm) using a digital caliper at a 3/4 distance from the medial side of the Longissimus muscle, towards the side of the spinal process.…”

“…Feed is known to be the costliest factor in an animal production system. In an attempt to lower these costs, byproducts emerged as an alternative to replace the most commonly used diet ingredients (corn and soybean meal) without affecting animal productivity or meat quality (da Silva Magalhães et al, 2020;Nascimento et al, 2021;Silva et al, 2021). In this context, oilseeds are lipid sources used to increase the energy density of the diet and improve animal performance (Manso et al, 2006;Homem Júnior et al, 2010) as well as the quality of the carcass and meat (Jerónimo et al, 2009;Atti et al, 2013).…”

Effect of high-concentrate diets with calcium lignosulfonate and cottonseed processing method on quantitative traits and non-carcass components of feedlot cull ewes

Abstract. This study examined the effects of cottonseed processing form and the inclusion of calcium lignosulfonate in high-concentrate diets for feedlot cull ewes on carcass traits and non-carcass components. Thirty Santa Inês cull ewes with an average body weight of 44.2 ± 5.2 kg and an average age of 50 months were distributed into collective stalls in a completely randomized design. The treatments consisted of diets including whole cottonseed, crushed cottonseed, whole cottonseed treated with lignosulfonate (100 g/kg, as fed), crushed cottonseed treated with lignosulfonate (100 g/kg, as fed), and a control diet without cottonseed. The experimental diets did not influence (P>0.05) average daily weight gain (0.195 kg/day), slaughter weight (51.74 kg), or in vivo biometric and on-carcass measurements. There was no difference (P>0.05) in loin-eye area or subcutaneous fat thickness as evaluated in vivo by ultrasound. There was no diet effect on hot carcass weight and yield (24.8 kg and 47.8 %), cold carcass weight and yield (24.2 kg and 46.8 %), or chilling loss (2.1 %). Non-carcass components did not differ in response to the diets (P>0.05). Dietary inclusion of calcium lignosulfonate increases the proportions of udder and liver relative to empty body weight (P<0.05). Neither the cottonseed processing method nor the inclusion of calcium lignosulfonate in high-concentrate diets for cull ewes affects their performance, biometric or morphometric measurements, non-carcass components, or qualitative traits of their carcass.
