“…The higher NDF intake promoted by the diet with cottonseed is due to the higher concentration of NDF in this ingredient since the cottonseed has fiber residues adhered to the seed surface. Because of this, cottonseed and its byproducts are sources of fiber included in the diet for finishing beef cattle in feedlots (Goulart et al, 2020a,b;Silvestre and Millen, 2021;Arcanjo et al, 2022;Arcanjo et al, 2023).…”

The effects of diets containing oilseeds were measured to evaluate the productive and economic parameters in the finishing of young, feedlot Nellore bulls. Twenty-four young Nellore bulls were used, with an initial body weight (BW) of 311.46±0.37 kg and 24 months of age, distributed into individual stalls (4 × 20 m) in a completely randomized design, totaling four treatments with six repetitions per treatment. Four diets (control, based on corn and soybean meal, and three diets containing cottonseed, soybean, and sunflower) were evaluated. Feed and orts were measured daily to calculate intake and costs. The dry matter intake of the control group was higher than soybean (10.64 kg/day), cotton (9.88 kg/day), and sunflower (9.30 kg/day) treatments, respectively. The cottonseed treatment showed the highest average neutral detergent fiber intake. There was a dietary effect of diets on average daily gain, total weight gain, and final weight. The soybean treatment showed the highest performance, total gain (232.55 kg), and final weight (544.38 kg). Oilseed intake can modify the fatty acids profile in the meat, decreasing its saturated fatty acid content. Whole soybean seed favors performance, improves feed efficiency, fatty acid profile, and fat distribution in the carcass, and can reduce production costs.

“…Arcanjo et al [8] observed lower in vitro digestibility of DM and NDF in the cottonseed cake fractions that passed through the 8 mm sieve in the Penn State Particle Size evaluation, in relation to the corn silage samples. In addition, the authors observed that cattle fed a diet with cottonseed cake had lower rumination time and bite rate.…”

“…By-products from the agroindustry that are fiber-rich can replace forage in ruminant diets [5]. Researchers have studied cottonseed cake as an alternative to corn silage, and it has been shown to be sustainable and economically justified to provide an effective amount of fiber for feedlot beef cattle [6][7][8][9]. However, diets without roughage can lead to ruminal troubles and alterations in the metabolism of bacteria, which can compromise digestibility and animal performance [10][11][12].…”

Our objectives were to evaluate the use of cottonseed cake in replacing corn silage in a diet without forage and to identify the model with higher precision and accuracy of adjustment of parameters of ruminal degradation kinetics. A diet containing corn silage and another with cottonseed cake as a fiber source were formulated. Gompertz, Dual-pool Logistic, Brody, and Ørskov models were evaluated for goodness of fit to gas production. There were significant differences in dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in the in vitro digestibility for diets and fiber sources. The estimated values of the Gompertz (6.77), Brody (6.72), and Ørskov (6.73) models were similar to the observed mean of gas production in the corn silage diet (6.73 mL/100 mg DM). Similarly, the estimated values of the Brody (5.87) and Ørskov (5.89) models were similar to the observed mean of gas production in the cottonseed cake diet (5.87 mL/100 mg DM). The roughage-free diet containing cottonseed cake as a fiber source stimulated higher gas production. Brody and Ørskov models presented higher precision and accuracy in the fitting of kinetics of degradation independent of the fiber source in the diet.
