1. The effect of feeding inorganic and organic selenium sources on the hematological blood parameters, reproduction and health of dairy cows in the transition period
ABSTRACT. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of four types of diets containing different forms of selenium on the hematological blood parameters, reproduction and health of dairy cattle during the transition period. Twenty-four close-up dry cows with a mean of 259 ± 1days of pregnancy and expected 21 ± 1days prior to parturition were

2. Effect of feeding grape seed Proanthocyanidin extract on production performance, metabolic and anti-oxidative status of dairy cattle
RESUMO O presente trabalho visa investigar os efeitos do extrato de semente de uva Proanthocyanidin (GSPE) sobre o desempenho da produção, o metabolismo e o status antioxidante de gado leiteiro Holstein em lactação precoce. Quarenta e oito vacas leiteiras multíparas Holstein foram divididas em quatro grupos (CON, G20, G40 e G80) e receberam 0, 20, 40 e

3. A survey of whole-plant corn silages from Minas Gerais dairy farms
ABSTRACT Whole-plant corn silage (WPCS) is a commonly used forage for feeding dairy cattle in Brazil. The aim of this study was to evaluate on-farm ensilaging practices and the nutritional value, microbiology and fermentation profiles of WPCS from dairy farms in the south of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Silages from 54 dairy farms located in nine cit

4. Nutritional potential of bamboo leaves for feeding dairy cattle
RESUMO A escassez de alimentos durante a estação seca nas terras altas de Madagascar causa impactos negativos à produtividade do gado leiteiro e aos rendimentos dos agricultores. O bambu pode produzir elevada quantidade de biomassa e ser uma alternativa para aumentar a oferta de forragem para o gado. Objetivou-se avaliar a composição, bem como a taxa ó

5. Predicting post-absorptive protein and amino acid metabolism
ABSTRACT Sustainable production of adequate quantities of food to support a growing human population is a worldwide goal. Under current feeding conditions in the United States, dairy cattle convert dietary nitrogen to milk nitrogen with 25% efficiency. The remaining 75% is excreted, which contributes to air and water quality problems and reduces economic per

6. Fusarium and Aspergillus mycotoxins contaminating wheat silage for dairy cattle feeding in Uruguay
Abstract Wheat is one of the most important cultivated cereals in Uruguay for human consumption; however, when harvest yields are low, wheat is usually used in ensiling for animal feeding. Ensiling is a forage preservation method that allows for storage during extended periods of time while maintaining nutritional values comparable to fresh pastures. Silage

7. First record of Atherigona reversura Villeneuve (Diptera: Muscidae) feeding on Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon cv. Jiggs, Poaceae) in Brazil: morphological and molecular tools for identification
ABSTRACT Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon cv. Jiggs) is an important food source for dairy cattle in the semi-intensive milk production systems most often used in southern Brazil. Although many insect pests are associated with feed grasses, we report here the first occurrence of the fly Atherigona (Atherigona) reversura Villeneuve, 1936 (Diptera: Muscidae) fee

8. Production technology and quality of corn silage for feeding dairy cattle in Southern Brazil
ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to evaluate the production practices and use of corn silage in dairy farms in Southern Brazil, and to evaluate their impact on the nutritional quality and occurrence of mycotoxins. The data were collected by application of questionnaires among the producers, and by analysis of silage samples. The variables were subject

9. Economic values for milk production and quality traits in south and southeast regions of Brazil
The objective of this study was to calculate economic values for milk (MY), protein (PY) and fat productions (FY) and somatic cell count (SCC) which could be used to compose an economic index to rank animals involved in an international genetic evaluation program of Holstein cattle used in the commercial dairy population in Brazil. The main milk production s

10. Dairy cow monitoring by RFID
Dairy cows identification and monitoring on small cattle farms are usually based on the utilization of barcode technology. This kind of identification technology is unsuitable for dairy cows milking and feeding process automation. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is a better solution in this case. This paper describes the research and impleme

11. Silagem de colostro: caracterização do perfil de fermentação anaeróbia e desempenho de bezerros leiteiros / Colostrum silage: dynamics of anaerobic fermentation and dairy calves performance evaluation
The objective of this study was to characterize the fermentative dynamic of bovine colostrum, under anaerobic condition, and determine the nutritional value, as well as evaluate dairy calves´ performance receiving colostrum silage as liquid diet. In the first experiment, bovine colostrum from second and third milking was fermented at room temperature in PET

12. Neutron activation analysis of zinc in forages used in intensive dairy cattle production systems.
When tropical forages are used in dairy cattle feeding, the diet should be commonly supplemented with zinc. Instrumental neutron activation analysis shows to be a very adequate method to determine zinc in forages, due its good accuracy, and its sensibity to dectect small variations in the concentrations of this element.
