Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to determine the rate of transfer of melamine as fertilizer ingredient to kikuyu pastures and if melamine would be transferred from the fertilized pasture to cow’s milk. Three trials were conducted in the study, viz. a pilot pot plant trial, an applied pasture trial and a milk production trial. Melamine is a commercially available industrial chemical with a high nitrogen content. Large quantities of melamine waste can sometimes be incorporated into crop and pasture fertilizers due to the high N content. An initial pot plant trial with kikuyu was conducted to determine whether melamine would be absorbed as such from the soil to the plant material. The pots were fertilized in the form of melamine adulterated Chinese maize Gluten 60, at a rate equivalent to 8.8 kg of melamine/ha. Results indicated that melamine was indeed absorbed and 7 days after fertilization, the concentration of melamine in the grass was 228 mg/kg. An applied pasture trial was then conducted were three pastures of 0.3 ha each were used. One pasture served as a control and received N fertilization in the form of LAN at a rate of 40 kg N/ha. The other two pastures also received LAN, but with 10% (Treatment 1) and 20% (Treatment 2) of the LAN-N substituted with melamine-N. All three pastures also received P-fertilization in the form of Single Superphosphate at a rate of 20 kg P/ha and KCl fertilizer at a rate of 50 kg K/ha. Pasture samples were taken once a week for 10 weeks, each time at the exact same spot in each camp. Samples were dried and finely milled before analysis via LC-MS/MS for melamine content. The initial concentration of melamine in the grass of Treatment 2 was higher than that in the grass of Treatment 1. The rate at which melamine decayed in the plant material was found to be quite similar for the two melamine treatments. In this trial, melamine took around 10 weeks to reach undetectable levels in the grass. It was concluded that melamine was absorbed as such from the soil by pasture grass when included in a fertilizer. For the milk production study, eighteen lactating Holstein cows, 60 ± 5.1 (SE) DIM, with a daily milk production of 36.5 ± 2.0 (SE) kg/d and weighing 609 ± 12.8 (SE) kg, were stratified according to milk production and then randomly allocated to three groups of six cows. The groups were then randomly allocated to the three pastures used in the applied pasture trial. Cows were kept on the melamine fertilized pasture for 9 days, in which they were allowed to graze the pasture for approximately 10 hours each day. After the 9 day period, melamine was withdrawn by placing the cows on the control pasture that did not receive melamine contaminated fertilization for another 7 days. During these 16 days, milk was collected twice a day, viz. during the morning and afternoon milkings. Milk samples of each cow were sub-divided into two samples, one was preserved with potassium dichromate and analysed for milk composition and the other was frozen until analysed for melamine by LC-MS/MS. For the duration of the trial, melamine containing milk was destroyed in order to prevent it from contaminating milk collected from the rest of the herd. Results from the analysis for melamine confirmed that melamine was transferred from melamine fertilized pasture to milk. In this study, it took 6 days from melamine withdrawal for melamine to reach undetectable levels in the milk. It was also found that the melamine fertilized pasture did not have any significant effect on the average milk production and milk composition of the cows. The aim of the study was met and it was confirmed that melamine can be transferred from fertilizer to the soil, to the pasture and to the milk of cows grazing these pastures.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie was om die tempo van oordrag van melamien as bemestingstof na Kikuyu weiding te bepaal, asook om te bepaal of melamien oorgedra sal word vanaf die bemeste weiding na melk. Drie proewe is uitgevoer wat ‘n potplant loodsproef, ‘n toegepaste weidings proef en ‘n melkproduksie proef ingesluit het. Melamien is ʼn kommersieël-beskikbare industriële chemikalieë met ʼn hoë stikstof inhoud. Groot hoeveelhede van melamien-afval kan soms in kunsmis ingesluit word vir die bemesting van gewasse en weidings, weens die hoë stikstof inhoud van melamien. ʼn Potplant loodsproef met Kikuyu is uitgevoer om te bepaal of melamien vanaf die grond deur die plantmateriaal geabsorbeer word. Melamienbemesting is in die vorm van vervalste Chinese mieliegluten 60 toegedien teen ʼn hoeveelheid gelykstaande aan 8.8 kg melamien/ha. Die resultate van hierdie proef het getoon dat melamien wel deur die plantmateriaal geabsorbeer is en 7 dae nadat bemesting toegedien is, was die konsentrasie van melamien in die gras 228 of mg/kg. ʼn Toegepaste weidingstudie is uitgevoer waar drie kampe van 0.3 ha elk gebruik is. Een van die kampe het as ʼn kontrole gedien en het stikstof bemesting in die vorm van KAN teen 40 kg N/ha ontvang. Die ander twee kampe het KAN bemesting ontvang waar 10% (Behandeling 1) en 20% (Behandeling 2) van die KAN-N deur melamien-N vervang is. Al drie kampe het ook fosfaatbemesting in die vorm van Enkel Superfosfaat ontvang teen 20 kg P/ha, asook KCl kunsmis teen 50 kg K/ha. Weidingmonsters is eenmaal per week op dieselfde plek in elke kamp geneem vir 10 weke nadat bemesting toegedien is geneem. Monsters is gedroog en daarna fyngemaal voordat dit vir melamieninhoud geanaliseer is met behulp van LC-MS/MS. Die aanvanklike melamienkonsentrasie in die gras van Behandeling 2 was hoër as die in die gras van Behandeling 1. Die tempo waarteen die melamienkonsentrasie in die plant materiaal afgeneem het, was baie dieselfde vir Behandelings 1 en Behandeling 2. Dit het ongeveer 10 weke geneem voordat die melamien in die gras nie-waarneembare vlakke bereik het. Die gevolgtrekking is gemaak dat melamien wat in die vorm van kunsmis toegedien word, as sodanig uit die grond geabsorbeer word deur die gras. Vir die melkproduksiestudie is agtien lakterede Holsteinkoeie, 60 ± 5.1 (SE) dae in melk, met ‘n daaglikse melkproduksie van 36.5 ± 2.0 (SE) kg/dag en ‘n liggaamsmassa van 609 ± 12.8 (SE) kg, volgens hul melkproduksie gerangskik en ewekansig in drie groepe van ses koeie elk ingedeel. Die groepe is daarna ewekansig aan die drie kampe, wat in die toegepaste weidingstudie gebruik is toegedien. Die koeie is vir 9 dae op die melamienbemeste weidings gehou, waartydens hulle toegelaat is om vir ongeveer 10 ure elke dag te wei. Na die tydperk van 9 d, is die koeie vanaf die melamienbemeste weidings onttrek deur hulle op die kontroleweiding te plaas vir ʼn verdere 7 dae. Gedurende hierdie 16 dae is melkmonsters tweekeer per dag geneem, tydens die oggend- en die middagmelkings. Die melkmonsters van elke koei is vervolgens onderverdeel in twee monsters, waarvan een met kaliumdichromaat gepreserveer is vir die beplaing van melksamestelling, terwyl die ander een gevries is totdat dit later vir melamien inhoud ontleed is met behulp van LC-MS/MS. Melk van die koeie wat op die melamienweidings gewei het, is weggegooi om te voorkom dat melk van die res van die kudde gekontamineer kon word. Die resultate van die melamienanalises het getoon dat melamien oorgedra word vanaf die melamienbemeste weiding na die melk. Tydens hierdie studie het dit 6 dae geneem vandat koeie vanaf die melamienbemeste weidings onttrek is, totdat die melkmelamien nie-bepaalbare vlakke bereik het. Daar is bevind dat melamienbemeste weidings geen betekenisvolle uitwerking op die gemiddelde produksie en samestelling van die melk gehad het nie. Die doel van hierdie studie is bereik en daar is getoon dat melamien vanaf kunsmis na die grond, na die gras en na die melk oorgedra kan word wanneer koeie op weidings geplaas word wat melamienbemeste kunsmis ontvang het.

O manejo adequado tem a finalidade de obter pastos persistentes, que forneçam forragem em quantidade e qualidade para os ruminantes. Assim, o manejo das pastagens deve considerar, entre outros fatores, a intensidade de pastejo adotada, a estrutura do dossel forrageiro, o sistema radicular das plantas e as características do solo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar o efeito de diferentes ofertas de forragem nos compostos de reservas das plantas e atividade enzimática no solo de pastos de cultivares de Brachiaria manejados sob lotação rotacionada. O experimento foi conduzido no setor de Forragicultura da FCAV/UNESP, Jaboticabal/SP, no período de novembro de 2008 a junho de 2009. O delineamento utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado com quatro tratamentos (ofertas de forragem de 4, 7, 10 e 13% do peso corporal animal) e três repetições. No estudo dos compostos de reserva a coleta de dados foi dividida em quatro ciclos de pastejo (CP) e no estudo da atividade enzimática no solo a coleta de dados englobou, além dos CP, uma amostragem em julho, sendo dividida em dias de avaliação (1, 21, 42, 63 e 183 dias). O aumento das ofertas de forragem (OF) proporcionou maiores alturas do dossel comprimido ao longo do período experimental. Em todas as cv. de Brachiaria estudadas, verificou-se que o último CP apresentou maior altura. A massa seca de raízes da cv. Marandu foi menor (P>0,05) em relação às outras gramíneas. A menor (P>0,05) massa seca de parte aérea foi observada na OF de 4% e as maiores (P<0,05) massas nas cv. Xaraés e Mulato. Os teores de nitrogênio (N) total nas raízes nas OF de 4, 7 e 13% não diferiram (P>0,05) no decorrer dos CP. O teor de N total na parte aérea foi maior (P<0,05) no CP 3 para todas OF e cv.

The adequate management has the objective to provide a persistent grassland with forage availability and quality for ruminants. Thus, the pasture management should consider, among other factors, the intensity of grazing adopted, the structure of the sward, the root system of plants and soil characteristics. This study aimed to analyze the effect of different forage alowance in the pastures of Brachiaria cultivars (Marandu, Xaraés and Mulato) managed under rotational stocking. The experiment was carried out at FCAV / UNESP, Jaboticabal/SP, from November 2008 to June 2009. The design was completely randomized design with four treatments (forage allowances of 4, 7, 10 e 13% of animal body weight) and three replications. The data collection to study of compounds of reserves was divided into four grazing cycles (GC) and data collection to enzyme activities in the soil had extra sampled in July and was divided into days assessment (1, 21, 42, 63 and 183 days). The different forage alowance (FA) treatment resulted in higher heights compressed canopy over the trial period. In all Brachiaria cultivars (cv) studied, it was found that the last GC had a higher heights. The dry mass of roots of Marandu cv was lower (P>0,05) compared to other grasses. The dry mass of the shoots of the FA 4% was lower (P>0,05) than the others FA and Xaraés and Mulato cv had greater (P<0,05) shoot mass. The nitrogen (N) total contents in the in FA 4, 7 and 13% did not differ (P>0,05) during the GC. The N total content in shoots was higher (P<0,05) in GC 3 for all FA and cultivars. The N aminoacids (aa) content of roots in four FA and three cv was higher (P<0,05) in the first GC. The highest N-NH4 + concentrations were observed after nitrogen fertilization that occurred after the second grazing. The NNH4 + and N-NO3 - levels in roots and shoots...

Full textDespite of the growing consensus that scattered trees decline in agricultural landscapes deserves urgent attention, such countryside elements have received little consideration in conservation programs. In part this is due to lack of knowledge about the factors affecting these trees. There are few studies addressing the relationship between farmer management and pasture trees, and the effects of distance from forest fragments on species composition of these trees are poorly understood yet. Our aims were (i) describe the vegetation structure of pasture trees, and (ii) investigate whether the distance from forest fragments and the farmer management affect such vegetation structure. Our research was carried out in nine pastures from a semideciduous forest region in southern Minas Gerais state, Brazil. All pasture trees with the diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) ≥ 5 cm were measured and identified in 1.96 ha of each pasture (totaling 17.64 ha). We found 700 trees belonging to 30 families and 90 species. Tree abundance and species richness decreased with increasing distance from the forest fragments, while we found no relationship between tree size and this explanatory variable. The most important species found are characteristics from early successional stages or are exotics. The natural regeneration is the acting factor on tree abundance and species richness in six studied pastures, while the farmer management acts on species composition and tree size in other pastures. Our study is an important step to better understanding about the factors that affect the tree coverage in pastures, and may guide conservation programs. Since the knowledge that in some pastures natural regeneration is responsible for tree component whilst in others farmer management is decisive in species composition provides a basis to help with planning actions to maintain and/or improve tree species richness in these pastures.

Four experiments were conducted during the dry and rainy season, in order to assess the increasing concentrations of crude glycerin (80% glycerol) in the supplement of young Nellore grazing tropical grass, on intake, digestibility, ruminal fermentation, rumen microorganism profile, performance, methane emission, and carcass and meat quality traits. The treatment consist of supplements with increasing concentrations (0, 70, 140, 210, and 280 g/kg DM basis of supplement) of crude glycerin, fed to the animals in a ratio of 700 g/ 100kg of body weight in the dry season and 300 g/100kg of body weight in the rainy season. In the dry season, fifty young Nellore bulls (279.52 ± 16.31 kg initial body weight) were used for animal performance evaluation, and ten ruminal cannulated Nellore steers (408.8 ± 38.5 kg) were used to investigate the digestibility, ruminal fermentation and rumen microorganism profile, in the two experimental phases. In the rainy season, the experiments were replicated with the same animals used in the previous phase. Inclusion of crude glycerin in the supplement of young Nellore steers grazing tropical grass in the dry season, does not affect intake and apparent total tract digestibility. However, alters rumen fermentation whereas increases butyrate and valerate while reducing acetate and total VFA, showed no negative effect on relative proportion of cellulolytic bacteria and protozoa population. Nevertheless, inclusion concentration of glycerin at up to 28% DM in the supplement of growing Nellore bulls raising tropical grass in the dry season, improved BW gain and feed efficiency. Inclusion of crude glycerin up to the level of 28% of dry matter in the supplement does not alter the carcass characteristics, the meat quality and methane emission.

Abstract: Four experiments were conducted during the dry and rainy season, in order to assess the increasing concentrations of crude glycerin (80% glycerol) in the supplement of young Nellore grazing tropical grass, on intake, digestibility, ruminal fermentation, rumen microorganism profile, performance, methane emission, and carcass and meat quality traits. The treatment consist of supplements with increasing concentrations (0, 70, 140, 210, and 280 g/kg DM basis of supplement) of crude glycerin, fed to the animals in a ratio of 700 g/ 100kg of body weight in the dry season and 300 g/100kg of body weight in the rainy season. In the dry season, fifty young Nellore bulls (279.52 ± 16.31 kg initial body weight) were used for animal performance evaluation, and ten ruminal cannulated Nellore steers (408.8 ± 38.5 kg) were used to investigate the digestibility, ruminal fermentation and rumen microorganism profile, in the two experimental phases. In the rainy season, the experiments were replicated with the same animals used in the previous phase. Inclusion of crude glycerin in the supplement of young Nellore steers grazing tropical grass in the dry season, does not affect intake and apparent total tract digestibility. However, alters rumen fermentation whereas increases butyrate and valerate while reducing acetate and total VFA, showed no negative effect on relative proportion of cellulolytic bacteria and protozoa population. Nevertheless, inclusion concentration of glycerin at up to 28% DM in the supplement of growing Nellore bulls raising tropical grass in the dry season, improved BW gain and feed efficiency. Inclusion of crude glycerin up to the level of 28% of dry matter in the supplement does not alter the carcass characteristics, the meat quality and methane emission. However, glycerin supplementation promotes additional daily gain with potential ...

Resumo: O manejo adequado tem a finalidade de obter pastos persistentes, que forneçam forragem em quantidade e qualidade para os ruminantes. Assim, o manejo das pastagens deve considerar, entre outros fatores, a intensidade de pastejo adotada, a estrutura do dossel forrageiro, o sistema radicular das plantas e as características do solo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar o efeito de diferentes ofertas de forragem nos compostos de reservas das plantas e atividade enzimática no solo de pastos de cultivares de Brachiaria manejados sob lotação rotacionada. O experimento foi conduzido no setor de Forragicultura da FCAV/UNESP, Jaboticabal/SP, no período de novembro de 2008 a junho de 2009. O delineamento utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado com quatro tratamentos (ofertas de forragem de 4, 7, 10 e 13% do peso corporal animal) e três repetições. No estudo dos compostos de reserva a coleta de dados foi dividida em quatro ciclos de pastejo (CP) e no estudo da atividade enzimática no solo a coleta de dados englobou, além dos CP, uma amostragem em julho, sendo dividida em dias de avaliação (1, 21, 42, 63 e 183 dias). O aumento das ofertas de forragem (OF) proporcionou maiores alturas do dossel comprimido ao longo do período experimental. Em todas as cv. de Brachiaria estudadas, verificou-se que o último CP apresentou maior altura. A massa seca de raízes da cv. Marandu foi menor (P>0,05) em relação às outras gramíneas. A menor (P>0,05) massa seca de parte aérea foi observada na OF de 4% e as maiores (P<0,05) massas nas cv. Xaraés e Mulato. Os teores de nitrogênio (N) total nas raízes nas OF de 4, 7 e 13% não diferiram (P>0,05) no decorrer dos CP. O teor de N total na parte aérea foi maior (P<0,05) no CP 3 para todas OF e cv. O teor de N em aminoácidos (aa) nas raízes nas quatro OF e três cv. foi maior (P<0,05)... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: The adequate management has the objective to provide a persistent grassland with forage availability and quality for ruminants. Thus, the pasture management should consider, among other factors, the intensity of grazing adopted, the structure of the sward, the root system of plants and soil characteristics. This study aimed to analyze the effect of different forage alowance in the pastures of Brachiaria cultivars (Marandu, Xaraés and Mulato) managed under rotational stocking. The experiment was carried out at FCAV / UNESP, Jaboticabal/SP, from November 2008 to June 2009. The design was completely randomized design with four treatments (forage allowances of 4, 7, 10 e 13% of animal body weight) and three replications. The data collection to study of compounds of reserves was divided into four grazing cycles (GC) and data collection to enzyme activities in the soil had extra sampled in July and was divided into days assessment (1, 21, 42, 63 and 183 days). The different forage alowance (FA) treatment resulted in higher heights compressed canopy over the trial period. In all Brachiaria cultivars (cv) studied, it was found that the last GC had a higher heights. The dry mass of roots of Marandu cv was lower (P>0,05) compared to other grasses. The dry mass of the shoots of the FA 4% was lower (P>0,05) than the others FA and Xaraés and Mulato cv had greater (P<0,05) shoot mass. The nitrogen (N) total contents in the in FA 4, 7 and 13% did not differ (P>0,05) during the GC. The N total content in shoots was higher (P<0,05) in GC 3 for all FA and cultivars. The N aminoacids (aa) content of roots in four FA and three cv was higher (P<0,05) in the first GC. The highest N-NH4 + concentrations were observed after nitrogen fertilization that occurred after the second grazing. The NNH4 + and N-NO3 - levels in roots and shoots...
