RESUMO

The objective of this trial was to study the effects of enramycin administration, compared to sodium monensin, on ruminal fermentation and on total digestibility of diet nutrients in bovine. Twelve non-pregnant and non-lactating cows (675 ± 63 kg of BW) were randomly assigned to three treatments: control group (non-antibiotic), enramycin-treated group (non-ionophore antibiotic) and monensin-treated group (ionophore antibiotic). Treatments were 20 mg/animal/day of enramycin or 300 mg/animal/day of monensin. Trial lasted 21 days, the last 10 used for external marker administration (15 g of chromic oxide/animal/day) and the last 5 for feces collection and feed sampling. The 21st day was used for ruminal fluid sampling at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours after 1st meal to determine VFA, pH and ammoniacal nitrogen. Monensin increased total VFA concentration 12 h after feeding and decreased the acetic:propionic ratio at times 0 and 6 h, in relation to enramycin, but not when compared to control. The two antibiotics tested did not influence the molar proportion of acetic, propionic or butiric acids, pH, ammoniacal-N concentration, or dry matter intake and intake behavior, evaluated during activities of feeding, rumination and idleness. The two antibiotics tested did not alter the digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, nitrogen-free extract, crude fiber, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber, starch, gross energy and total digestible nutrients (TDN), or the intake of digestible dry matter or TDN
