“…The GWD values obtained from groups G1 and G2 were similar to those reported by other authors who observed variations of between 70 and 104 g (ATTI; BEN SALEM, 2008;CORDÃO et al, 2014;MARTÍNEZ-MARTÍNEZ et al, 2012). Moreover, it was observed that sheep responded well when treated with multinutritional blocks; however, the amount of protein present in different values and formulas of forage supplied may alter the absorption of nutrients by animals (ATTI; BEN SALEM, 2008;CORDÃO et al, 2014;MAKKAR;SÁNCHEZ;SPEEDY, 2007), causing significant differences in performance within the experiments.…”

Article historyThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementation with three formulations of nutritional blocks and its consumption by 60 sheep from the Pantaneiro genetic group. The animals were weighed (35 kg ± 4.69) and separated into three groups of 20 each: G1 (control block), G2 (block with palatalising), and G3 (block + garlic extract). The solidified mineral supplement of silage of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) provided ad libitum had an estimated consumption of 0.6%/kg/day. The sheep were kept in pastures in a grazing system cultivated with the grass Brachiaria brizantha 'Marandu'. The best performance was obtained by G2 (P < 0.05) for weight gain, with 105 g of feed conversion ratio 75% more efficient than G1 and 107% more efficient than G3. The provision of multinutrient blocks for sheep kept in pastures of U. brizantha 'Marandu' contributed to the improvement of the animal's nutritional status. Among the formulations tested, the block with palatalising showed the highest rate of food conversion. The block with garlic extract had an inhibitory effect on reinfection by gastrointestinal nematodes after 30 days.

Egyptian Journal of Botany http://ejbo.journals.ekb.eg/ A QUATIC plants are of real interest for their nutritive value. The present study aimed at investigating the forage potentiality of the aquatic macrophyte Vossia cuspidata (Roxb.) Griff (Poaceae). Two islands in the River Nile system in Greater Cairo, Egypt were selected for sampling the leaf laminae from V. cuspidata in eighteen quadrates (0.5x 0.5m each) during February (winter), and August (summer) of 2017. The chemical analyses revealed that there were no significant differences between the contents of summer and winter leaves in their percentages of moisture, dry matter, ash, nitrogen-free extract, neutral detergent fibers, acid detergent fibers, acid detergent lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. The leaves were characterized by a high percentage of dry matter (DM, ≈ 92%), low moisture content (7.94-7.27% DM), high crude fibers (24.1-38.2%DM), moderate crude protein (7.2=19.2%), and low lipids content (1.7-2.0% DM). The plant is rich in many important elements (K, Ca, P, Cu, and Zn). The ratio of Ca/P (= 2.43) is within the adequate range for animal forage. The other parameters of the nutritive values of the leaves and their importance to animal feeding were discussed. The leaves of V. cuspidata are recommended as good forage for beef cattle and lactating cows.

“…Estes resultados vêm confirmar a teoria de Martínez-Martínez et al (2012), que relataram que o consumo de blocos tem maior impacto quando as forrageiras disponíveis no campo são de baixa qualidade e contêm pouca energia.…”

“…Além disso, possuem características nutritivas necessárias para os animais durante os períodos críticos de escassez de forragem (Martínez-Martínez et al, 2012), que consequentemente ajuda produzir animais de maior desempenho e carcaça de melhor qualidade, principalmente em termos de rendimento e composição tecidual, gerando qualidade do produto final, ou seja, a carne (Oliveira et al, 2008). Visando à necessidade de melhorar o desempenho e a produção de carne de ovinos e caprinos na região semiárida, o objetivo da realização deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho e as características de carcaça e não constituintes de carcaça de ovinos e caprinos, em área de caatinga, suplementados com blocos multinutricionais (BMs).…”

O trabalho foi desenvolvido na Estação Experimental da EMEPA em Soledade, Paraíba, Brasil, de acordo com um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso com 3x2 tratamentos fatoriais (3 níveis de suplementação de animais em pastejo na caatinga: S1 = sal mineral; S2 = BMs; e S3 = BMs + feno de capim buffel, e duas espécies de animais: ovinos e caprinos) e dez repetições de um animal. Os ganhos de peso se mostraram mais elevados para os animais suplementados com sal mineral. Os ovinos obtiveram ganho de peso médio diário (GPMD=104,83g) e ganho de peso total (GPT=11,32kg) superior aos caprinos (GPMD=92,90g e GPT=10,04kg). O peso vivo ao abate (PVA), o peso da carcaça quente (PCQ) e fria (PCF) foram superiores para os animais suplementados com sal mineral. O peso corporal vazio (PCV), rendimento biológico (RB), rendimento comercial (RC), rendimento verdadeiro (RV) e perda por resfriamento (PPR) não foram afetados pelos níveis de suplementação. O PVA dos ovinos (PVA=27,62kg) superou o dos caprinos (PVA= 25,34kg), e o RB, RC e RV dos caprinos foram superiores aos dos ovinos. Houve efeito significativo (P<0,05) dos níveis de suplementação no rendimento (%) do peso do trato gastrintestinal cheio (TGIc), peso do trato gastrintestinal vazio (TGIv), fígado, coração e rins. A suplementação com blocos multinutricionais ou em conjunto com feno de baixa qualidade, para ovinos e caprinos sob pastejo direto na caatinga, com forragem em quantidade e qualidade satisfatórias, não resulta em ganhos produtivos significativos.
