“…The amount of grass fed to animals can result in different REA values when animals are subjected to different finishing systems (Fernandes et al., 2008, 2010). REA values similar to those obtained in our study were previously reported for feedlot lambs (Ítavo, Ítavo, Esteves, et al, 2019; Ítavo et al., 2016; Rezende et al., 2017).…”

Increasing demands for healthy and eco-friendly products and processes concerned with animal well-being have stimulated consumer interest in pasture finishing systems for lambs (Jacques, Berthiaume, & Cinq-Marsa, 2011). This feeding system affects animal growth rate, carcass weight and yield, muscle: fat ratio, and meat lipid profile, which can reflect in sensorial characteristics such as flavor, odor, and softness (Carrasco et al., 2009). Blackburn, Snowder, and Glimp (1991) reported lower amounts of fat in the meat of exclusively pasture-raised lambs compared to animals submitted to concentrate-based diets, being an attractive attribute for consumers. However, the meat industry is interested in heavy carcasses of young animals with good musculature, providing good cut yield and a minimum fat layer to protect carcasses while in cold storage. Tropical pasture exclusive feeding, such as Brachiaria spp.

“…These results can be explained by the higher rainfall observed in the period corresponding to the weaning phase (Figure 1), which concentrated more than 95% of the precipitation during the whole experimental period. Machado et al (2008) emphasized water availability in the soil as a determining factor in the chemical composition of the leaf due to the plant accelerating the process of new tissue emergence, with these being of better nutritive value and greater digestibility.…”

“…Supplementation is used for both an attempt to address the nutritional deficiencies of the pasture by providing the balance of the animals' diet, and also to reduce the risk caused by fluctuating pasture dry matter production (Geron et al, 2012). Lamb growth speed is very important for producing sheep meat; the earlier and less costly the slaughter requirements, the more positive the results for the production system (Castro et al, 2012;Silva et al, 2019b;Ítavo et al, 2019).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different protein sources on the performance of lamb ewes and their offspring supplemented in deferred pasture. The treatments were the different protein sources: soybean meal, cotton cake, babassu cake and coconut cake. The ewes were weighed and evaluated for their body condition score during the gestation, parturition and weaning phases. The lambs were weighed at birth and at weaning. The structural variables and chemical composition of the pasture were evaluated during the usage period. Grass height and forage mass were higher when the ewes were in the gestation and weaning stages. The leaf mass was not altered during the pasture usage with a mean value of 566.1kg ha-1 DM. The highest levels of crude protein in the leaf blade were observed during the parturition and weaning phases. The body weight of the ewes did not differ between the sources with averages 45.0, 39.9 and 36.6kg for the gestation, parturition and weaning phases, respectively. Weights at birth and at weaning had an effect from protein sources, with the highest values observed in the lambs of ewes who received soybean meal and babassu cake supplementation. The lambs of ewes supplemented with soybean had higher average daily gain and total gain. Babassu, coconut and cotton cakes can replace soybean meal in supplementation of ewes in deferred pasture.
