13. Effect of calcium salts of fatty acids on the nutritive value of diets, feeding behavior, and serum blood parameters of lactating Saanen goats grazing on stargrass
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine effects of the addition of calcium salts of fatty acids (CSFA) to the concentrate on the intake and digestibility of dry matter and nutrients and the grazing behavior of lactating Saanen goats. Five multiparous goats in their third lactation and four primiparous goats were used. The animals were distribut

14. Ingestive behavior of dairy goats fed increasing levels of sugarcane in replacement of corn silage
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate levels of replacement (0, 33, 67 and 100%) of corn silage with fresh sugarcane in dairy-goat diets on the ingestive behavior of these animals. Eight lactating Alpine goats (after lactation peak) with a live weight of 51.95±3.29 kg were distributed into two 4 × 4 Latin squares according to their milk producti

15. Daily activity patterns of Saanen goats in the semi-arid northeast of Brazil
The objective of the study was to characterize the daily feeding activity patterns of Saanen goats (Capra hircus) as a function of changes in climatic variables. The investigation was conducted in the municipality of Cruzeta, 300 km from the city of Natal, Brazil. Seventeen free-ranging female Saanen goats were selected for observation, wherein they were kep

16. Sources of carbohydrates in the ingestive behavior of feedlot steers
In this article we research the influence of different sources of carbohydrates (corn, soybean hulls or wheat bran) upon the digestive behavior of 24 confined castrated steers with an initial average age and weight of 20 months and 330 kg born from the cross between Charolais and Nellore. The diet was composed of 40% sorghum silage and 60% concentrate. The t

17. Feeding behavior and performance of sheep fed cactus pear in substitution of corn
The objective of this study was to evaluate the feeding behavior and performance of Santa Ines sheep subjected to different levels of substitution of corn by cactus pear in the diet. Forty-fivenon-castrated male Santa Inês sheep with initial live weight of 27.50±0.48 kg were distributed in a completely randomized design with five treatments (0, 70, 140, 21

18. Ingestive behavior, performance and forage intake by beef heifers on tropical pasture systems
The experiment was carried out to evaluate forage intake, performance and ingestive behavior of beef heifers. Productive, structural and chemical characteristics of the pasture were also evaluated. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, with three pasture systems (Alexandergrass [Urochloa plantaginea Link.] with

19. Mesquite pod meal in diets for lactating goats
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects inclusion of 0%, 33.3%, 66.7% and 100% natural matter (NM) of mesquite pod meal (MPM), in substitution of corn, on the intake, digestibility and feeding behavior of lactating Saanen goats. The forage:concentrate ratio in the diet was 40:60, using elephant grass silage as a forage source. Eight adult lac

20. CASHEW NUT MEAL USED AS FEED SUPLEMENT IN DIETS FOR LAMBS / UtilizaÃÃo do farelo de castanha de caju como suplemento alimentar em dietas de ovinos
The effects of supplementation with cashew nut meal (CNM) for sheep fed Tifton 85 (Cynodon sp.) grass hay as exclusive forage were evaluated on intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance and ingestive behavior of these animals. For this, we used twenty four male sheep, non-castrated, without defined breed and with an initial body weight (BW) of 16.2 + 3.1 kg an

21. Morfofisiologia do dossel e desempenho de ovinos em capim-tifton 85 / Morphophysiology of forage and sheep performance on tifton 85 grass
The aim of the study was to evaluate morphophysiological characteristics of forage and sheep performance on Tifton 85 Bermudagrass. Three periods of rest were used with 4.5, 6.5 and 8.5 new leaves per tiller after stocking. The residual condition to delimited the end of stocking was forage height of 5 and 10 cm. It was used a completely randomized design arr

22. COMPORTAMENTO INGESTIVO E CONSUMO DE FORRAGEM POR NOVILHAS DE CORTE EM SISTEMAS FORRAGEIROS DE CICLO ESTIVAL / INGESTIVE BEHAVIOUR AND FORAGE INTAKE BY BEEF HEIFERS IN TROPICAL PASTURE SYSTEMS
ABSTRACT There were evaluated forage intake, ingestive behavior, productive, structural and chemical characteristics of pasture and performance of beef heifers in coastcross (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers) and alexandergrass(Urochloa plantaginea Link.) receiving protein supplement or not. The grazing method utilized was continuous with variable number of animal

23. Ingestive behavior and performance of female lambs grazing on Marandu palisadegrass under different stocking rates
The ingestive behavior and performance of female lambs grazing on Marandu pasture submitted to different stocking rates during the rainy and transition season were evaluated. The experimental area with 4,500 m² was divided into 45 paddocks of 100 m². Twenty-seven Santa Ines female lambs (purebred) with 4 months age and 22 kg of initial body weight were dis

24. Seasonal variation in the behavior of captive alpine musk deer, Moschus sifanicus, in Xinglongshan Musk Deer Farm, of China
Musk deer farming has the potential to be an effective conservation tool for the protection of musk deer as well as the production of valuable musk. To be successful, this requires a thorough understanding of the behavior of captive musk deer in order to improve their reproductive success and management. Between August 2005 to January 2006, the behavior samp
