A qualidade de plantas forrageiras determina o desempenho animal em gramíneas tropicais quando não ocorre limitação de forragem em oferta. Os animais sob pastejo são seletivos, colhendo preferencialmente lâminas foliares, as quais diferem em qualidade entre os genótipos devido ao grupo anatô...

Paspalum notatum Fl. é uma gramínea rizomatosa nativa da América do Sul, sendo um importante componente das pastagens naturais da Argentina, do sul do Brasil e do Paraguai [1]. Diversos biótipos são encontrados no Brasil e vários destes são dominantes na composição botânica de ...

Lipid-coated aging has been proposed as an alternative to enhance flavor, particularly using butter as a coating material (butter-aged beef). Thus, this study compared the wet-aged and beef-aged with different lipid-based coatings: milk butter (butter-aged), cocoa butter (cocoa-aged), pork lard (...

This study evaluated the effects of a bromoform based feed additive (BBFA) on growth performance and enteric methane emissions in Nellore cattle during feedlot backgrounding and finishing phases. Ninety-six Nellore bulls (10 +/- 2 mo old, body weight (BW) 315 +/- 23 kg (b...

Variable resistance to Haemonchus contortus infection and the associated immune mechanisms have been investigated and characterized in different sheep breeds adapted to tropical climates. In a recent study, we compared the local immune responses of the resistant Santa Inês with those of ...

The aim of the study is to discern benchmarks for the indicators L water cow−1 day−1 and L water kg milk−1 day−1 per type of production system and season. A total of 876 commercial dairy farms underwent comprehensive water consumption monitoring from January 2021 to Decem...

Genomic selection has transformed plant and animal breeding by enabling accurate prediction of genetic merit using DNA markers; however, comprehensive genotyping of all selection candidates remains economically prohibitive for most breeding programs. While breeding programs must decide which subset of...
