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.

Testo completoToday, dairy farmers in the U.S. are faced with the challenge of reducing the cost of producing milk. Milk prices have risen very little in the past decade, while the cost of producing milk has risen steadily. In North Carolina alone, dairy farm numbers have dropped more than 30% in the last ten years, and the trend is expected to continue. Dairy farmers have been forced to increase their profitability to stay in business. In addition, farmers have been forced to comply with stricter environmental regulations. Over the past few years, interest has been shown in intensive management rotational grazing systems. This four-year comparison trial was designed to compare the milk production, herd health, reproductive performance, and environmental impacts of pasture-based and confinement feeding systems using Holstein and Jersey cattle for the Mid-Atlantic region. The project had both Spring and Fall calving herds with breeding via artificial insemination in 75-day periods. Each seasonal herd replicate had 36 cows on pasture and 36 cows in the confinement group. Similar numbers of Holsteins and Jerseys were included in each year. Paddocks grazed comprised 29 ha of cool and warm season pasture species in 37 paddocks for year-round grazing. Pasture-fed cows received variable amounts of grain and baled silage as needed depending upon pasture availability. Confinement cows were housed in a covered freestall barn with access to an exercise lot and received a total mixed ration with corn silage as the primary forage. Confinement cows produced significantly more milk than pasture-fed cows, both for total lactation and average daily production. Reproductive performance of the two treatments did not differ with an overall 75-day pregnancy rate of 68%. Jerseys in both systems did have higher percentages of cows inseminated (96.5%), conception rate (59.6%), and 75-day pregnancy rate (78%) compared to Holsteins (86%, 49%, 57.9% respectively). The percentage of cows infected with at least one case of clinical mastitis was higher in the confinement herd than the pasture-fed herd (43% vs. 24%) with Holsteins higher than Jerseys (41% vs. 26%). Interactions of breed and feeding system and average somatic cell count scores were not significantly different. Pasture-fed cows had lower average body condition scores than confinement cows, ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 points lower on a 5-point scale.In a short-term trial, intake measurements were taken from pasture-fed Holsteins and Jerseys consuming a grain supplement. This supplement was similar to those that were fed to the pasture-fed cows during the four-year trial. It was determined that Jerseys could consume as much as Holsteins at three different feeding levels (6.8, 4.5, and 2.3 kg/cow per feeding). This experiment showed that in certain time frames, Jersey cattle can consume equal amounts of supplements compared to Holsteins. Therefore in mixed groups Jerseys can consume relatively more supplemental energy relative to body size and milk production compared the Holsteins. In another short-term trial using cows from a spring season replicate, milk samples were obtained from pasture-fed and confinement-fed cattle and analyzed for fatty acid composition. The pasture grazed was a warm-season pasture, while the confinement-fed cattle consumed a corn-silage based TMR. The major fatty acid of interest was conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has been shown to be a potent anticarcinogen. Concentrations of CLA were 80% higher in pasture-fed cattle compared to the confinement-fed cattle. In addition concentrations of CLA were higher in Holsteins compared to Jerseys. To study the distribution of manure in a pasture-based system, pastured cows were observed for several 24-h periods. Data included: (1) times and location of all feces and urine events from eight cows, observed while in the pasture, feed area, milking parlor or in transit; and (2) all urine and feces events on pasture for all 36 cows each grazing period. The locations of urine and feces events were surveyed, mapped and analyzed. Percentages of the manure events in each area were highly correlated with time spent in each area (r= .99). Feces and urine (estimated at .12 m2 and .36 m2, respectively) from six observational periods covered 10% of the total paddock. Within 30 m2 of the portable waterer and gate, concentrations of feces and urine from the warm season observations were significantly greater than concentrations during the cool season observations. Manure on pasture was relatively evenly distributed over multiple grazing periods with the exception of the area around the water tank during summer grazings. These experiments showed that when compared to confinement-fed cattle, pasture-fed cattle produced less milk, produced more conjugated linoleic acid, had less mastitis and had lower body condition scores, while reproductive performance did not differ between the two groups. Jerseys had less mastitis, produced less conjugated linoleic acid, and performed better reproductively when compared to Holstein cattle. In addition, pasture-fed Jersey cattle can consume as much supplemental grain in certain time frames as pasture-fed Holstein cattle. Manure distribution on a pasture-based system is highly correlated with time spent in an area and is fairly evenly distributed over the paddock area over multiple grazing periods except for the area around the water tank during heat stress temperatures.

Resumo: Metano (CH4) e óxido nitroso (N2O) são dois dos mais importantes gases de efeito estufa emitidos pela pecuária. Eles são produzidos pelas excretas dos animais e fertilizantes. No Brasil, a quantidade emitida destes gases e opções para mitigação foram pouco exploradas. Uma sequência de 4 experimentos foram realizados em campo (em duas estações chuvosas e duas secas, 106 dias de duração cada) com o objetivo de quantificar as emissões de N2O e CH4, volatilização de NH3 e o fator de emissão (FE) quando aplicadas fezes, urina, fezes + urina e fertilizante ureia em Latossolo Vermelho cultivado com capim-marandu. Investigou-se o efeito da umidade do solo e compactação, composição da urina, volume urinário, e adição de fezes sobre as emissões de N2O em um Latossolo recebendo urina manipulada em condições controladas, bem como nas emissões de CH4. Como opção para mitigar as emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) foram estudadas as variáveis como as alturas de pastejo que afetam a magnitude das emissões de GEE; a influência estacional na produção e consumo dos GEE; quais são as variáveis chaves associadas com as emissões de GEE em pastagens de capim-marandu. Adicionalmente, investigou se o efeito dietético dos níveis do sal mineral na concentração de N na urina, o volume urinário, a proporção dos compostos nitrogenados na urina e a concentração de N nas fezes em condições de campo. Os FEs de N2O quantificados diferiram de acordo com a excreta e estação do ano. O FEs foram 2,34%, 4.26% e 3,95% na estação chuvosa e 3.00%, 1.35% e 1.59% na estação seca, respectivamente, para fezes, urina e fezes + urina. O FE do fertilizante ureia foi 0,37%. As emissões médias do CH4 acumuladas foram 99,72, 7,82 e 28,64 (mg C-CH4 m2) para fezes, urina e fezes + urina nesta sequência.

Abstract: CH4 and N2O are two of the most important greenhouse gas emitted by livestock. They are produced from animal excretes and the fertilizer. In Brazil the amount and options to mitigate these gases are little explored. We carried out a sequence of 4 field-trials (two rainy and two dry season, 106 days each) aimed to quantify the N2O and CH4 emissions, NH3 volatilization and emission factor (EF) after application of dung, urine, dung + urine and urea fertilizer on a Ferralsol of a marandu palisade-grass pastureland of Brazil. We aimed to investigate the effects of soil moisture, soil compaction, urine composition, urine volume, and dung addition on N2O emission from a urine-treated tropical Ferralsol under controlled conditions as well on CH4 emission. As option to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions we studied how grazing heights affect the magnitude of GHG emissions; how season influence GHG production and consumption; what are the key driving variables associated with GHG emissions. Additionally, we investigated the effect of dietary mineral salt levels on urine-N concentration, urine volume, the proportion of N compounds in the urine and faeces-N concentration under field conditions. The emissions factor (EF) calculated differed according excretes and season. The EFs were 2.34%, 4.26% and 3.95% in the rainy season and 3.00%, 1.35% and 1.59% in the dry season, respectively, for the dung patches, urine patches and dung + urine. The N2O EF from urea was 0.37%. The averages of CH4 accumulated emissions were 99.72, 7.82 and 28.64 (mg CH4-C m2) for dung, urine and dung + urine in this sequence. The manipulated soil conditions moisture content, compaction, and dung addition affected N2O emissions when varying quantities of urine-N were applied (in equal urine volumes) being higher when added dung and did not affect when varying urine volumes were applied (containing equal quantities of urine-N) ...

Testo completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: Kikuyu over-sown with ryegrass is the most widely used pasture system in the Southern Cape of South Africa. During the winter months the kikuyu component remains dormant and cows are solely dependent on the ryegrass component of the pasture. Ryegrass has a low growth rate (25 - 30 kg DM ha-1 day-1) during the winter and early spring months (June - September), resulting in roughage shortages. There are various strategies that can be adopted to overcome these shortages. Most commonly, lucerne hay is bought in. The cost (R 1800 - R 2400 ton-1), however, is high and all farms do not have the capacity to store hay in large quantities. Significant wastages occur when feeding lucerne in ring feeders or feed troughs. Silage made of surplus grass, maize or cereal crops can also be fed. Many farms do not have the implements required for ensiling and due to financial pressure, most farms are at full capacity and as such no surplus pasture is available for ensiling. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a high fibre concentrate supplement and restricted pasture intake strategy could be followed to overcome roughage shortages during the winter months. Forty eight lactating Jersey cows were blocked according to 4 % fat corrected milk yield (19.1 ± 2.2 kg day-1 (±s.d.)), days in milk (104 ± 62.7) and lactation number (4.4 ± 1.8). Cows within blocks were then randomly allocated to one of the three treatments. Treatments were defined according to the amount of a high fibre concentrate supplement that was allocated as well as the level of pasture allocated: Treatment 1 - Low concentrate treatment (LC) received 4 kg concentrate cow-1 day-1 and 10 kg DM pasture cow-1 day-1; Treatment 2 - Medium concentrate treatment (MC) received 7 kg concentrate cow-1 day-1 and 7 kg DM pasture cow-1 day-1; Treatment 3 - High concentrate treatment (HC) received 10 kg concentrate cow-1 day-1 and 5 kg DM pasture cow-1 day-1. Eight ruminally cannulated Jersey cows were used in the rumen study portion of the trial. These cows were divided into two groups of four and were allocated to the MC and LC treatments. They were used in a cross-over design, where all cows were subjected to both treatments. The metabolisable energy, crude protein and neutral detergent fibre contents of the high fibre concentrate supplement was 10.9 MJ kg-1, 145 g kg-1 and 231 g kg-1, respectively. Cows of the three treatments grazed separately, allowing for the restriction of pasture intake according to treatments specifications. The average daily milk yield and milk fat content of treatments LC, MC and HC was 16.2a, 17.3ab and 18.1b kg day-1 (P < 0.05) and 4.91a, 4.96a and 4.58b % (P < 0.05), respectively. The average stocking rate for treatment LC, MC and HC was 5.07a, 6.07b and 7.64c cows ha-1 respectively. Thirty seven percent of pasture was saved on the HC treatment strategy compared to the LC treatment. Cows gained body weight during the study at a rate of 0.62a, 0.28b and 0.27b kg day-1 (P < 0.05) for the LC, MC and HC treatments, respectively. None of the hourly rumen pH values differed between treatments LC and HC. The rumen pH of cows on treatment LC did, however, spend a longer time below pH 6.0 and pH 5.8 compared to the rumen pH of cows on treatment HC (P < 0.05). The digestibility of dry matter and neutral detergent fibre of pasture of cows on treatment LC and treatment HC at 30 hours of incubation was 82.3 and 73.5 % (P < 0.05) and 43.5 and 39.2 % (P < 0.05), respectively. The results show that winter roughage shortages can be managed by feeding higher levels of a high fibre concentrate supplement and restricting pasture intake, although a decrease in milk fat content can be expected.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kikoejoe, oorgesaai met raaigras, is die mees algemene weidingstelsel in die Suid-Kaap van Suid-Afrika. Tydens die wintermaande is die kikoejoe-komponent dormant en diere is afhanklik van die raaigras-komponent. Raaigras het ‘n lae groeitempo (25 - 30 kg DM ha-1 dag-1) gedurende die winter- en vroeë lentemaande (Junie - September) en dit lei tot ruvoertekorte. Daar is verskeie strategieë wat toegepas kan word om die ruvoertekorte te oorkom. Die gewildste is die aankoop van lusern hooi, alhoewel die prys (R 1800 - R 2400 ton-1) die gebruik daarvan beperk. Boere het ook nie altyd die kapasiteit om groot hoeveelhede lusern te stoor nie en baie hooi word vermors as koeie dit uit hooivoerders en voerbakke vreet. Kuilvoer wat gemaak word van surplus weiding, mielies of graangewasse kan ook gebruik word. Baie boere het nie die implemente om kuilvoer te maak nie en as gevolg van finansiële druk, funksioneer die meeste plase reeds op vol kapasiteit en is daar dus nie altyd voldoende surplus ruvoer waarvan kuilvoer gemaak kan word nie. Die doel van hierdie studie was om te bepaal of ‘n hoë-vesel kragvoer en beperkte weiding-inname gebruik kan word om ruvoertekorte gedurende die wintermaande te oorkom. Agt-en-veertig lakterende Jerseykoeie is geblok volgens 4 % vet-gekorrigeerde melkopbrengs (19.1 ± 2.2 kg dag-1(±s.d.)), dae in melk (104 ± 62.7) en laktasie nommer (4.4 ± 1.8). Koeie binne blokke is vervolgens ewekansig aan een van drie behandelingsgroepe toegeken. Die groepe is gedefinieer volgens die hoeveelheid hoë-vesel kragvoer en weiding wat toegeken is: Behandelingsgroep 1 - Lae-vesel kragvoergroep (LC) het 4 kg kragvoer koei-1 dag-1 en 10 kg DM weiding koei-1 dag-1 ontvang; Behandelingsgroep 2 - Medium-vesel kragvoergroep (MC) het 7 kg kragvoer koei-1 dag-1 en 7 kg DM weiding koei-1 dag-1 ontvang; Behandelingsgroep 3 - Hoë-vesel kragvoergroep (HC) het 10 kg kragvoer koei-1 dag-1 en 5 kg DM weiding koei-1 dag-1 ontvang. Agt rumen gekanuleerde Jerseykoeie was gebruik in die rumen studie gedeelte van die proef. Die koeie was verdeel in twee groepe wat dan aan die LC en HC behandelings groepe toegeken is in ’n omslag ontwerp met twee behandelings en twee periodes. Die metaboliseerbare energie, ruproteïen en neutraal bestande veselinhoud van die hoë-vesel kragvoer was 10.9 MJ kg-1, 145 g kg-1 en 231 g kg-1 onderskeidelik. Die drie behandelingsgroepe het apart gewei, sodat weidingtoekenning beperk kon word en weidinginname bepaal kon word. Die gemiddelde daaglikse melkopbrengs en melk vet % van behandelingsgroepe LC, MC en HC was 16.2a, 17.3ab en 18.1b kg dag-1 (P < 0.05) en 4.92a, 4.96a en 4.58b% (P < 0.05) onderskeidelik. Die gemiddelde veelading van behandelingsgroepe LC, MC en HC was 5.07, 6.07 en 7.64 koeie ha-1 onderskeidelik. Volgens die strategie van die HC behandelingsgroep strategie is sewe-en-dertig persent weiding bespaar, in vergelyking met die LC behandelingsgroep. Koeie in behandelingsgroepe LC, MC en HC het in massa toegeneem gedurende die studie teen ‘n tempo van 0.62, 0.28 en 0.27 kg day-1 (P < 0.05), onderskeidelik. Rumen pH-waardes het nie tussen behandelingsgroepe LC en HC verskil nie. Behandelingsgroep LC se rumen pH was vir ’n langer periode onder pH 6.0 en pH 5.8 as in die geval van behandeling HC. Die verteerbaarheid van droëmateriaal en neutraalbestande vesel van wieding van koeieop behandelingsgroepe LC en HC na 30 ure van inkubasie was 82.3 en 73.5 % (P < 0.05) en 43.5 en 39.2 % (P < 0.05), onderskeidelik. Die resultate dui daarop dat winter ruvoertekorte bestuur kan word deur die voeding van hoër vlakke hoë-vesel kragvoer en die beperking van weidinginname, hoewel ‘n afname in melk vet % verwag kan word.

Testo completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: Genetic selection for high milk production, type and appearance for the last 50 years has suppressed secondary traits such as reproductive performance, productive life, health and survivability in the pure milk breeds. The economic importance of these secondary traits in dairy production systems is the basis for the interest seen in crossbreeding. The problem of growth rate of heifers, cow fertility, reduced disease resistance and small body frame for beef production in Jerseys can be improved by crossing Jerseys with dual purpose breeds, such as Fleckviehs which possess a more beef potential. Against this background, this study aimed at comparing the production and reproduction of Jersey and Fleckvieh × Jersey cows in a pasture-based system. Milk recording was done according to standard milk recording procedures. Milk production (milk, fat, and protein yield) was adjusted to 305 days of lactation and corrected for age at calving. Effects of breed, parity, month and year were estimated for milk, fat and protein yield as well as fat and protein percentage using general linear models procedure. The fixed effects identified as having significant effects on milk, fat and protein yield were breed, parity and year. F×J cows produced significantly more milk than J cows (6141 ± 102 vs. 5398 ± 95 kg milk). Protein and fat yield were significantly higher in F×J (201 ± 3 and 272 ± 4 kg, respectively) than in J cows (194 ± 2 and 246 ± 3 kg, respectively). There percentages of fat and protein differed slightly between the two breeds with the Jersey recording slightly higher percentages (4.61 ± 0.04 and 3.62 ± 0.03 %, respectively) compared to the F×J cows’ percentages, which were, respectively, 4.47 ± 0.04 and 3.51 ± 0.03 %. It was concluded that F×J crossbred cows were more productive than purebred J cows probably owing to heterotic effects. Heifers were inseminated at 13 months of age and cows 40 days post-calving. Using insemination records and pregnancy check results, fertility traits were analyzed and compared between the two breeds, using analysis of variance for continuous records. Conception age was the same for both breeds resulting in a similar age at first calving. For cows, the interval from calving to first insemination was significantly shorter (P <0.001) in crossbred cows being 76.7 ± 2.2 days compared to 82.4 ± 2.5 days for purebreds. A larger proportion (P < 0.001) of 0.70 for crossbred cows was inseminated within 80 days after calving compared to 0.54 for J cows. Although the absolute number of days between calving and conception (DO) was lower for F×J cows in comparison to J cows (104.8 ± 6.8 vs. 114.8 ± 8.1days, respectively), the difference was not significant. However, the proportion of F×J cows confirmed pregnant by 100 days in milk was 0.79, which was higher (P < 0.001) than the 0.66 for J cows. Results indicate the potential of improving reproductive performance of J cows through crossing with dual-purpose breeds. The beef production of purebred J and Fleckvieh x Jersey (F×J) bull calves was compared, where bull calves were reared similarly for veal, i.e. carcass weight not exceeding 100 kg, or as steers for beef to 21 months of age. In both the veal and steer production systems, the mean birth weight were higher (P < 0.001) for crossbred in comparison to J calves and steers (33.5 ± 1.2 kg vs. 27.9 ± 1.2 kg for veal) and (33.4 ± 0.9 kg vs. 26.9 ± 0.9 kg for steers) respectively. The live weight at 6 months of age was 163.5 ± 3.9 kg for J bull calves, which was lower (P < 0.001) than that for F×J bull calves (180.6 ± 4.0 kg). The F×J bull calves had a significantly higher average daily gain (ADG) of 0.82 ± 0.02 kg/day compared to 0.73 ± 0.02 kg/day for J bulls. Marketing age differed (P < 0.001) in the veal production system with F×J and J bull calves marketed at 7.1 ± 0.1 and 6.3 ± 0.1 months, respectively. End live weight at 21 months of age was significantly higher (P < 0.001) in F×J bulls (441.4 ± 14.9 kg) than the 322.6 ± 13.4 kg in J bulls; while ADG differed (P < 0.001) between the two breeds being 0.64 ± 0.02 and 0.46 ± 0.0 kg/day in F×J and J bull calves, respectively. Crossbred steers had a significantly higher carcass of 206.5 ± 8.9 kg compared to 157.9 ± 8.6 kg for J steers. Results indicate the potential of improving beef production characteristics of the J cattle through crossbreeding.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Genetiese seleksie vir hoë melkproduksie, tipe en voorkoms die afgelope 50 jaar het sekondêre eienskappe soos reproduksie, produktiewe lewe, gesondheid en oorlewing onderdruk in die suiwer melk rasse. Die ekonomiese belangrikheid van hierdie sekondêre eienskappe in melkproduksie stelsels is die basis vir kruisteling. Probleme soos groei tempo van verse, koei vrugbaarheid, verlaagde weerstandbiedenheid teen siektes en klein liggaam raam vir vleisproduksie in Jerseys kan verbeter word deur die kruising van Jerseys met ' n dubbele doel rasse, soos Fleckviehs wat beskik oor beter vleis potensiaal. Teen hierdie agtergrond, is hierdie studie daarop gemik om produksie en reproduksie van Jersey en Fleckvieh x Jersey koeie in 'n weiveld - gebaseerde stelsel te vergelyk. Melk opname is gedoen volgens standaard melkaantekening prosedures. Melkproduksie (melk-, veten proteïen opbrengs) was aangepas vir 305 dae van laktasie en gekorrigeer vir kalf ouderdom. ‘n Algemene lineêre model was gebruik om die effekte van ras, pariteit , maand en jaar op melk-, vet- en proteïen opbrengs sowel as vet- en proteïen persentasie te bepaal. Die vaste effekte geïdentifiseer met 'n beduidende effek op melk-, vet- en proteïen opbrengs was ras, pariteit en jaar. F × J koeie het aansienlik meer melk as J koeie (6141 ± 102 teen 5398 ± 95 kg melk) produseer . Vet opbrengs was aansienlik hoër in F × J koeie as in J koeie (272 ± 4 246 teen ± 3 kg vet). Proteïen opbrengs was ook aansienlik hoër in F × J koeie as J koeie (201 ± 3 vs 194 ± 2 kg proteïen). Vet en proteïen persentasies het geneig om effens te verskil met 'n klein effek (4.61 ± 0.04 % vet en 3.62 ± 0.03 % proteïen) vir J koeie en (4.47 ± 0.04 % vet en 3.51 ± 0.03 % proteïen) vir F × J koeie. Daar is tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat F × J gekruisde koeie kan meer produktief wees as suiwer J koeie weens heterotiese effekte. Verse kunsmatig geïnsemineer was op 13 maande ouderdom en koeie 40 dae na- kalwing aangehou was. Met behulp van bevrugting en swangerskap rekords, is vrugbaarheid eienskappe ontleed en vergelyk tussen die twee rasse, met behulp van ontleding van variansie vir deurlopende rekords. Ouderdom van bevrugting was dieselfde vir beide rasse wat in 'n soortgelyke ouderdomsgroep was by eerste kalwing. Vir koeie was die interval van kalf tot eerste inseminasie aansienlik korter (P < 0.001) vir kruisgeteelde koeie wat 76.7 ± 2.2 dae in vergelyking met 82.4 ± 2.5 dae suiwerrasse is. ‘n Groter proporsie ( P < 0.001) van 0.70 vir gekruisteelde koeie is binne 80 dae na kalwing geïnsemineer in vergelyking met 0.54 vir J koeie. Alhoewel die absolute aantal dae tussen kalwing en opvatting (DO) laer was vir F × J koeie in vergelyking met J koeie (104.8 ± 6.8 teen 114.8 ± 8.1dae, onderskeidelik), is die verskil nie betekenisvol nie. Maar die verhouding van F × J koeie wat swanger bevestig is met 100 dae in melk was 0.79, wat hoër was (P < 0.001) is as die 0.66 vir J koeie. Resultate dui daarop dat daar potensiaal is reproduktiewe prestasie te verbeter van J koeie deur kruisteling met 'n dubbel- doel rasse. Die vleisproduksie van suiwer J en Fleckvieh x Jersey (F × J) bulkalwers vergelyk. Die bul kalwers is soortgelyk grootgemaak vir kalfsvleis, d.w.s karkas gewig mag nie 100 kg oorskry as bulkalwers nie, en as osse vir vleis tot 21 maande oud. In die kalwers- en os produksie stelsels, was die gemiddelde geboorte gewig hoër (P < 0.001) vir die kruise in vergelyking met J kalwers en osse (33.5 ± 1.2 kg teen 27.9 ± 1.2 kg vir kalwers) en (33.4 ± 0.9 kg vs . 26.9 ± 0.9 kg vir osse) onderskeidelik . Die lewendige gewig op 6 maande ouderdom was 163.5 ± 3.9 kg vir J bulkalwers en was hoër (P < 0.001) vir F × J bulkalwers 180.6 ± 4.0 kg. Die F × J bul kalwers het 'n aansienlik ‘n hoër gemiddelde daaglikse toename (GDT) van 0.82 ± 0.02 kg/dag in vergelyking met 0.73 ± 0.02 kg/dag vir J bulle. Bemarkingsouderdom verskil (P < 0.001) in die kalf produksie stelsel met F × J en J bulkalwers bemark op 7.1 ± 0.1 en 6.3 ± 0.1 maande , onderskeidelik. Finale lewendige gewig van 21 maande oud was aansienlik hoër 441.4 ± 14.9 kg in F × J bulle as 322.6 ± 13.4 kg in J bulle , terwyl GDT hoër was (P < 0.001), met 0.64 ± 0.02 kg/dag en 0.46 ± 0.0 kg/dag in F × J en J bulkalwers, onderskeidelik. Gekruisde osse het 'n aansienlik hoër karkasgewig 206.5 ± 8.9 kg in vergelyking met 157.9 ± 8.6 kg van J osse. Resultate dui daarop dat daar potensiaal is om die beesvleis produksie-eienskappe van die J beeste te verbeter d.m.v. kruisteling.

Testo completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: Monensin was approved in the 1970’s as a feed additive to ruminant diets. Since then, many studies on the effects of Monensin were done. Its mode of action includes the improvement of feed conversion by altering rumen fermentation. This alteration results in a change in the rumen microbial population. Some processes that benefit from the manipulation of rumen microbial population are volatile fatty acid production, peptide degradation and amino acid deamination. The use of ionophores as an antibacterial product in animal feeds were banned by the European union ( EU) in 2006 because of chemical residues found in the edible product making it potentially unhealthy for human consumption and it is also socially unacceptable. Thus, alternative sources need to be identified to help improve the rumen microbial population. Such an alternative could be plant based EO. Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a natural anti-bacterial compound affecting a variety of gram positive and gram negative bacteria. It has been reported to improve the overall health and production of lactating dairy cows by enhancing rumen fermentation. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of an essential oil extracted from oregano on production and rumen fermentation of Jersey cows grazing ryegrass pasture during spring. Effects were determined on milk yield, milk composition, live weight body condition, rumen pH, Ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N) and volatile fatty acid (VFA) composition, organic material (OM) and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility of pasture in the rumen. Fifty four early lactation Jersey cows were blocked, according to days in milk (DIM), 4% fat corrected milk (FCM) and lactation number. Cows within blocks were randomly allocated to one of the three treatments. The three treatments were as follows: Control (CON; maize based concentrate with no feed additives), an ionophore treatment, (MON; a maize based concentrate with monensin provided a daily dose at 300 mg per cow), and an essential oil treatment (EO; a maize based concentrate with oregano extract provided at a daily dose of 1.15 g per cow. Cows received 6 kg of concentrate in the milking parlour and were allocated 10 kg dry matter (DM) of ryegrass pasture, divided into two grazing periods after each milking. Before milking, cows were separated into their respective treatment groups for milking and the consumption of their specific concentrate treatments. Milk yield was recorded on a daily basis. Composite milk samples were collected per cow on a bi-weekly basis. Live weight and body condition score (BCS) were determined before and after the study. Six rumen cannulated cows were used in the rumen study. Two cows were randomly allocated to each of the three treatments in a 3 x 3 Latin square design (three treatments and three periods) thus all the cows were subjected to all three treatments over the experimental period. Ruminal pH, volatile fatty acids (VFA) concentration, ruminal ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N), and in sacco degradability were determined. The daily average milk yield and milk fat content did not differ among treatments (P > 0.05) and were 20.5, 20.3 and 20.4 kg per cow and 4.5, 4.5 and 4.6 % for cows receiving the CON, MON and EO concentrates respectively. Milk protein and milk lactose content increased (P < 0.05) for the two additive treatments in comparison to control and were 3.39b, 3.55a and 3.60a % for milk protein and 4.50b, 4.80a and 4.80a % for milk lactose where cows received the CON, MON and EO treatments, respectively. Ruminal pH values did not differ among treatments, however, the average overall pH over the 24 hour profile was higher for the two additive treatments. There were no differences in total volatile fatty acid concentrations among the three treatments. With regards to individual VFA, propionate was decreased in the MON treatment when compared to the CON treatment. The ruminal ammonia nitrogen concentration did not differ among treatments. There were no differences in DM and NDF degradability (DMd and NDFd) on the 6 h incubation period but monensin increased the DMd at 30 h incubation and both monensin and oregano increased NDFd after 30 h incubation. To conclude the use of monensin and oregano oil extract have shown to be beneficial with regards to increasing the milk protein and milk lactose content as well as the NDFd. The average overall pH from the pH profile resulted in the two additive treatments being higher when compared to the control treatment. This could be beneficial to rumen fermentation and have a positive effect on the microbial population. As monensin and oregano oil extract showed similar results, oregano oil extract can be considered as an alternative natural feed additive to monensin.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Monensin is in die 1970's goedgekeur as 'n voerbymiddel in herkouerdiëte. Sedertdien het navorsing met betrekking tot die invloed van monensin vinnig toegeneem. Die werking van monensin sluit die verbetering van voeromsetting in deur die verbetering van rumenfermentasie. Die verandering in rumenfermentasie het ‘n invloed op die rumenmikrobiese bevolking. Sommige prosesse wat voordeel trek uit die manipulasie van die rumenmikrobiese bevolking is onder andere vlugtige vetsuurproduksie, peptiedafbraak en aminosuurdeaminering. Die gebruik van ionofore as 'n antibakteriese produk in veevoere is gedurende 2006 deur die Europese Unie verbied as gevolg van chemiese residue wat in die eetbare produk gevind is. Die residue maak dit moontlik ongesond vir menslike verbruik en dit is ook nie sosiaal aanvaarbaar nie. Alternatiewe produkte wat help om die rumenmikrobiese bevolking te verbeter en manipuleer moet geïdentifiseer word. Een alternatiewe produk is plantgebasseerde essensiële olies. Origanum (Origanum vulgare) is 'n natuurlike anti-bakteriële produk wat 'n verskeidenheid van gram-positiewe en gram-negatiewe bakterieë in die rumen beïnvloed. Daar is gevind dat die algemene gesondheid en produksie van 'n lakterende melkkoeie verbeter deur die verbetering van rumen fermentasie. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die invloed van 'n essensiele olie-ekstrak uit oreganum op die produksie en rumenfermentasie van Jerseykoeie wat raaigras gedurende die lente bewei, te bepaal. Effekte is ondersoek op melkproduksie, melksamestelling, lewende massa, liggaamskondisie, rumen pH, ammoniak stikstof konsentrasie (NH3-N) en vlugtige vetsuursamestelling (VFA) asook ruminale droeë materiaal (DMd)- en vesel-verteerbaarheid (NDFd) van die weiding. Vier en vyftig Jersey koeie in vroeë laktasie is geblok volgens dae in melk (DIM), 4% vet gekorigeerde melk (VGM) en laktasie nommer. Koeie binne blokke is ewekansig aan een van die drie behandelings toegeken. Die drie behandelings was as volg: Kontrole (CON, mielie-gebaseerde konsentraat met geen voer-bymiddel nie), ‘n ionofoor-behandeling (MON; mielie-gebaseerde konsentraat met monensin teen 300 mg / koei per dag), essensiële olie-behandeling (EO; mielie-gebaseerde konsentraat met oreganum ekstrak teen 1.15 g / koei per dag). Koeie het 3 kg konsentraat in die melkstal ontvang met elke melking en 10 kg droeë material (DM) raaigras-weiding is per koei toegeken. Weidingsessies is verdeel in twee periodes, naamlik na elke melking. Voor melking is die koeie geskei om te verseker dat hulle die regte behandeling in die melkstal ontvang. Melkproduksie is daagliks aangeteken. Saamgestelde melk monsters is tweeweekliks per koei versamel. Lewende massa (LW) en liggaamskondisie (BCS) is aan die begin en teen die einde van die studie bepaal. Ses rumen-gekannuleerde koeie is in die rumen studie gebruik. Twee koeie is toegeken aan elk van die drie behandelings in 'n 3 x 3 Latynse vierkant ontwerp (drie behandelings en drie periodes) en al die koeie het gevolglik al drie behandelings gedurende die eksperimentele periode ontvang. Ruminale pH, VFA konsentrasie, ruminale NH3-N, en in sacco degradeerbaarhede; DMd en NDFd is bepaal. Die daaglikse gemiddelde melkproduksie en melkvetinhoud het nie beduidend tussen behandelings verskil nie (P > 0.05) en was 20.5, 20.3 en 20.4 kg/koei per dag en 4.5, 4.5 en 4.6% vir koeie op die drie behandelings (CON, MON, EO), onderskeidelik. Melk proteïen en melk laktose het aansienlik toegeneem (P < 0.05) vir die twee behandelings met die supplemente in vergelyking met die CON behandeling met waardes van 3.4, 3.6 en 3.6% vir melk proteïen en 4.5, 4.8 en 4.8% vir koeie op die CON, MON en EO behandelings, onderskeidelik. Die rumen pH oor 24 uur het nie verkil tussen die drie behandelings nie en die totale VFA konsentrasie het ook nie verskil nie. Die propionaatkonsentrasie het wel afgeneem op die MON behandeling in vergelyking met die CON. Die rumen NH3-N het nie tussen die drie behandelings verskil nie. Die DMd en NDFd verteerbaarhede van die raaigras in die rumen het nie verskil na ‘n 6 h inkubasieperiode nie. Na 30 h inkubasie het monensin ‘n hoër DM verteerbaarheid getoon en in beide die MON en EO-behandelings het die NDF-verteerbaarheid verhoog wanneer dit vergelyk word met die CON. Om saam te vat; die gebruik van monensin en oregano olie ekstrak het getoon dat dit voordelig kan wees met betrekking tot die verhoging van die melk proteïen en melk laktose inhoud, sowel as die NDFd. Die gemiddelde pH van die pH profiel het gelei tot hoër gemiddeldes vir die twee voerbyvoegsel behandelings in vergelyking met die kontrole behandeling. Dit kan voordelig wees om rumen fermentasie te verbeter en dus ‘n positiewe uitwerking te hê op die mikrobiese bevolking. Monensin en oregano olie ekstrak het soortgelyke resultate getoon en daarom kan oregano olie ekstrak beskou word as 'n alternatiewe natuurlike voerbyvoegsel.

Testo completoExtensive beef production cannot compete with others uses of land for agricultural productions, mainly where land costs are high, therefore a gradual substitution of pasture areas for agricultural crops is occurring. High levels of fertilizer application to pastures have been used for improving beef productivity and, consequently, improve the economic profitability of this activity. Irrigation of pasture increased since 90s in Central Brazil, motivated by the expectation of high productivities as presented in technical magazines. The objective of this research was to compare the productivity and economic results of highly fertilized pasture, with and without irrigation. Two experiments were conducted for a year in Panicum maximum cv tanzânia pastures. Weight gain, stocking rate and beef productivity were evaluated. In the economic evaluation was determined net margin, simple rate of return and internal rate of return, using deterministic and stochastic simulations. In the non-irrigated experiment the weight gain was 0,615 kg/day and the stocking rate 5,6 AU/ha, and in the irrigated one, 0,492 kg/day and 5,9 AU/ha, respectively. The irrigation only increased the stocking rate in the season transition between dry and rainy period, not confirming the potential for pasture irrigation in the Central South part of Brazil by increasing stocking rate. Productivity difference in irrigated and non-irrigated pastures was minimized by the high weight gain of non-irrigated area in some periods. The animal live weigh gain was 1.628 kg/ha in irrigated experiment, and 1.678 kg/ha in non-irrigated one, indicating high potential for productivity of highly fertilized pasture. The analysis without risk consideration showed results of net margin, simple rate of return and internal rate of return, respectively of R$ -164,91 per hectare, - 1,0% and -6,1% for irrigated system, and R$ 574,90 per hectare, 4,4% and 17,2% for non-irrigated one. Deterministic analysis sub estimated the results of economic viability indicators. Risk analysis showed weak probability of economic viability for irrigated system. Non-irrigated system with high levels of fertilizer application indicated weak probability for not been an economic activity.

A área experimental foi dividida em 3 módulos de pastejo rotacionado com 6 piquetes de áreas iguais cada. Os sistemas 1 e 2 possuíam áreas iguais a 20,64 ha e o sistema 3 uma área total de 12,96 ha. O período experimental teve 16 ciclos de 42 dias, com sete dias de ocupação e 35 dias de descanso por piquete. O delineamento adotado foi o inteiramente casualizado sendo os tratamentos T1 pastejo intermitente de capim-Marandu com banco de proteína de 30% da área do piquete na seca, T2 pastejo intermitente de capim-Marandu com suplementação protéica de 0,5% do peso vivo na seca e T3 mantidos em pastejo intermitente de capim-Marandu. Na avaliação da forragem a unidade experimental foi piquete e para os dados de desempenho foi animal. Foram utilizados inicialmente 170 bezerros Nelore castrados, com idade média de 10 meses e peso vivo médio inicial de 188 kg distribuídos aleatoriamente pelos tratamentos. Amostras dos piquetes foram coletadas para determinação da massa de forragem e avaliações quantitativas e qualitativas da gramínea. No primeiro ano de avaliação os animais com acesso ao banco de proteína tiveram melhor desempenho que os demais tratamentos. No segundo ano os animais suplementados no cocho apresentaram desempenho superior aos animais com acesso ao banco de proteína, proporcionado a esses dois tratamentos atingirem o peso vivo médio para abate (487,7 kg, sistema 1 e 470,1kg sistema 2) no décimo quinto ciclo de pastejo. Os animais do grupo controle permaneceram mais um ciclo para atingir o peso de abate (476,1 kg).
The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of beef cattle, in organic handling, in three handling systems. The experimental area had three modules of rotational pasture with 6 paddocks each. The systems 1 and 2 possessed areas of 20,64 ha and the system 3 a total area of 12,96 ha. The experimental period had 16 cycles of 42 days, being in each cycle seven days of occupation and 35 days of rest for each paddocks. The treatments adopted was T1 intermittent pasture of Marandu-grass with bank of protein of 30% of the area of the paddocks during the drought, T2 intermittent pasture of Marandu-grass with protein supplement in the amount of 0,5% of the live weight during the drought and T3 maintained in intermittent pasture of Marandu-grass. In the evaluation of the forage the experimental unit went paddock and for the performance was animal. At the beginning of the experiment 170 Nelore calves was used, with the average age of 10 months and average live weight initial of 188 kg distributed in the treatments. Samples of the paddocks were collected for determination of the forage mass and for quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the grasses. In the first year of evaluation the animals with access to the protein bank had better performance than the animals with protein supplement and the animals of the control group, already in the second year of evaluation the feeders supplemented animals presented better performance than the animals with access to the protein bank, what provided to those two treatments they reach the live weight for slaughter (487.7 kg, system 1 and 470.1kg system 2) in the fifteenth pasture cycle. The animals of the control group they needed to stay one more cycle to reach the slaughter weight (476,1 kg).

Testo completoConjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid (FA) present in the meat and milk of ruminant animals, is considered a functional nutrient for humans. The interest in CLA is attributed to its many health benefits, such as having anti-carcinogenic, anti-atherogenic, anti-diabetic and anti-adipogenic effects. Dairy products are a rich natural source of CLA, and preliminary research indicates that the levels in milk can vary based on cattle breed and feeding system. The Fleckvieh is a popular dual-purpose breed recently introduced to the Western Cape. It is used in crossbreeding programs with Holstein and Jersey herds to increase fertility and beef production. Holstein and Jersey cattle are the two most common South African dairy breeds, but little information is available on the effect of crossbreeding on FA content and CLA levels in the milk. The primary objective of this study was to compare milk FA composition and CLA content of these two dairy breeds and their respective Fleckvieh crosses. A second objective was to investigate the effect of lactation stage on CLA levels. Jersey (J) and Fleckvieh x Jersey (F×J) cows were kept in a pasture-based system (PBS) for the duration of the study. Holstein (H) and Fleckvieh x Holstein (F×H) cows were housed in a feedlot system and fed a total mixed ration (TMR) for the duration of the study. The FA and CLA content of feeds from these two feeding systems were also analysed and compared. All cows used in the study were housed at the Elsenburg Research Farm of the Western Cape Department of Agriculture. Milk samples were collected every 35 days from the cows in each feeding group, starting 10 days after calving. Samples were kept in a freezer at -20 °C until laboratory analyses. The total number of milk samples collected was 1044. The milk FA composition and CLA in particular were determined by gas chromatography. Differences between groups were statistically analysed by two-way repeated measures of analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results show that milk CLA levels are higher in Fleckvieh-crossbred cows when compared to purebred cows. The higher CLA content of milk from Fleckvieh crossbred cows demonstrates the feasibility of using Fleckvieh bulls in South African crossbreeding programs, and are also an indication that genetic selection for increased CLA content is possible. The analysis of lactation stage showed that milk CLA is higher during late lactation. A comparison of feed samples from the two feeding systems revealed that pasture feeding resulted in higher omega-3 FA in milk.

Testo completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: A survey to assess the sustainability and marketing opportunities for smallholder cattle production systems was conducted by consulting with a total of 95 smallholder cattle producers in Ncorha and Gxwalibomvu communities in the Eastern Cape Province (ECP) of South Africa. In addition, a total of 18 surrounding beef retailers, 5 abattoirs that supplied beef to these retailers and 155 beef consumers who bought beef from these retailers between February 2013 and February 2014 were also interviewed using pretested structured questionnaires. The surveys established the perception of beef traders and consumers on the development of a Natural beef (NB) brand and indicated the willingness of participants to support the development of a NB brand. The results indicated that a smallholder beef cattle production system was socially and environmentally conditionally sustainable but economically not sustainable. Overall, the system was conditionally sustainable. Cattle herd size was bigger in Ncorha than in Gxwalibomvu (13.7±1.9 vs. 11.3 ± 1.9 heads of cattle, respectively). Smallholder producers from both sites sold an average of two cattle per year. Young farmers (<40 years old), Christians and small households (<5 members) had a greater potential to sell cattle than adults (>40 years old), traditionalists and larger households (>5 members). Similarly, households with access to extension services, owners of smaller cattle herds (<10 cattle) and from a lower income bracket (

Testo completoThis study had as objective to evaluate and quantify the effect of artificial shading proportioned by different shadow areas under physiology and behavior of milk heifers, in pastures. Research was realized in the period from February to April, 2008. Experimental area was divided in 20 adjacent parcels with 84m2 to treatments 1, 2 and 3 and with 70m2 to treatments 4 and 5. Were compared witness (treatment 1, no shadow) with 4 shading areas per animal, treatment 2 (with 1,5 m²), treatment 3 (3,0 m²), treatment 4 (5,0 m²) and treatment 5 (8,0 m²). Shelters dimensions were 1,0m x 1,5m x 3,5m (width, length and height) (1,5m² of shade.animal-1), 1,5m x 2,0m x 3,5m (3,0m² of shade.animal-1), 2,0m x 2,5m x 3,5m (5,0m² of shade.animal-1) and 2,0m x 4,0m x 3,5m (8,0m² of shade.animal-1), without walls in the sides. Twenty crossbred heifers were used, 3/4 Jersey, ½ Holstein and pure Jersey and Holstein, with ages among 12 and 25 months and average weight varying from 240 to 360 kg, paired in function of weight and age uniformity. Heifers remained in Penissetum purpureum paddocks and had a diet complementation in the trough, during the period of night and after 8:00am they were conducted to the parcels. Tgn was registered by a minidatalogger from LOGEN LS 8856 ALPAX trend. Meteorological variables were obtained in the agrometeorological post from ESALQ/USP. During nine non consecutive days were registered FR and TS. Behavioral observations were realized in non consecutive days (nine days) in the period from 10:00am to 16:00pm by the focal method. 66,7% of environmental conditions in the period of research were in thermal stress conditions to the heifers. Values of FR and TS were minor under the major area of (P<0,05) and similar among 1,5m², 3,5m² and 5,0m² (P>0,05). There was a correlation of Tgn with FR and TS. Behavioral alterations among the treatments were not observed, animals stayed under the shadow in the hotter hours of the day, preferably on foot, behavior followed the known patters to bovine. For milk heifers the better of artificial shading area is 3m².
