Título: Genetic parameters estimates of growth traits of Santa Inês sheep using the multiple-trait model. Autoria: ALVES, A. A. C.; PORCIÚNCULA, J. A. da; MARTINS JUNIOR, C. T.; SOUSA, D. R. de; SILVA, M. S. da; LOBO, R. N. B. Conteúdo: Abstract: The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for Santa Inês sheep’s weight during their birth (BW), weaning (WW), slaughter (SW) and at the age of one (W1). The data used in this study come from a flock which belongs to the company Gaasa Alimentos LTDA, located in Inhumás (a town in the Brazilian state of Goiás), and they are part of the Programme of Genetic Improvement of Goats and Sheep (GENECOC) managed by the company Embrapa Goats and Sheep. The parentage matrix used consisted of 13,440 animals.

Título: Effect of different cutting intensities on morphological characteristics and production of fresh and dry matter of irrigated Nopalea forage cactus. Autoria: LIMA, G. F. da C.; RÊGO, M. M. T.; SILVA, J. G. M.; AGUIAR, E. M.; DANTAS, F. D. G.; GUEDES, F. X.; SILVA, G. J. A. M.; LOBO, R. N. B. Conteúdo: The spineless cactus (Nopalea cochenillifera Salm Dick) is adapted to the Brazilian semi-arid region, because of its high efficiency in water use and forage production. On the other hand, in some regions of Rio Grande do Norte State, because of drought and high temperatures, mainly nocturnal, usually plants wilt. The use of drip irrigation with a minimum use of water may be an option for cactus pear cultivation in these regions. The research aimed to evaluate the effect of different cutting intensities on the morphological characteristics and production of fresh and dry matter of irrigated Nopalea forage cactus after 12 months of regrowth.

Título: Milk yield and composition of crossbred goats supplemented with vegetable oil. Autoria: SOUZA, D. L.; MEDEIROS, A. N.; BOMFIM, M. A. D.; ARAUJO, M. J.; ALVES, A. R.; SABEDOT, M. A.; QUEIROGA, R. de C. R. E. Conteúdo: The use of vegetable oils from native plants of the northeastern Semi-arid region in animal feeding can contributing not only for animal supplementation during periods of shortage but also for reforestation and, thus, collaborating with preservation and appreciation of the native vegetation, as well as the adapted exotic vegetation. The increase in the energy density of diets obtained with inclusion of lipids can have benefits such as reducing the negative effects of high amounts of concentrates rich in starch, on the rumen environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of faveleira, sesame and castor oils supplemented to milking goats on the yield and composition.

Título: Características digestivas de cabras leiteiras suplementadas com diferentes fontes de lipídios. Autoria: MATOS, R. da S.; RODRIGUES, M. T.; FELISBERTO, N. R. de O.; BOMFIM, M. A. D.; SILVA, M. M. C. da Conteúdo: Resumo: Avaliou-se o uso de diferentes fontes lipídicas na dieta sobre as características ruminais como pH, nitrogênio amoniacal em cabras leiteiras e taxa de passagem. Foram utilizadas oito cabras fistuladas no rúmen, não gestantes e não-lactantes, distribuídas em um delineamento em quadrado latino 4 x 4, com duas repetições. Quatro dietas foram avaliadas, sendo uma dieta controle (DC) e três suplementadas com diferentes fontes de lipídios: óleo de soja (OS), óleo de palmiste (OP), óleo de canola (OC). As fontes de óleo foram inclusas de forma a manter o teor de extrato etéreo (EE) das dietas suplementadas em 2,3%, totalizando 5% na matéria seca (MS). Foram obtidos valores reduzidos para a concentração de nitrogênio amoniacal com o uso da ração contendo óleo de palmiste como fonte principal de lipídios. Na avaliação do pH e da cinética de trânsito não foram verificadas variações entre dietas. O uso de suplementos lipídicos vegetais em até 2,3% podem ser utilizados na alimentação de cabras leiteiras, apresentando alta relação volumoso:concentrado (30:70), sem comprometer as características digestivas. Abstract: Diets formulated with different sources of lipids were compared by evaluating ruminal parameters like rumen ph, ammonia nitrogen and rate of passage in goats. Eight rumen cannulated non-lactating, non-pregnant goats were distributed in a 4 x 4 Latin square design with two repeats. Four diets were compared, one of them as the control diet and the others supplemented with different sources of lipids, considering their fatty acid profile, namely soybean oil, palm kernel oil, and canola oil. Lipids supplementation contributed with 2.3% totaling 5% of diet dry matter (DM). Reduced values for ammoniacal nitrogen concentration were found when the diet with palm kernel oil was used as the main lipid source. It was not found variations among the diets for pH evaluation and transit kinetics. The use of vegetal lipid supplements up to 2.3% may be used for dairy goat feeding, showing a high rate forage:concentrate (30:70), without compromising the digestibility characteristics.
