1. Blood parameters of Angus and Nellore young bulls fed diets with or without forage.
ABSTRACT We evaluated blood parameters of Angus and Nellore bulls fed diets with and without forage. Forty animals with initial body weight (BW) of 380±16.2 kg were housed in individual stalls. Eight bulls of each breed were fed a whole shelled corn (WSC) diet [850 g kg−1 of WCS and 150 g kg−1 of a pellet based on soybean meal, dry mater (DM) basis] or

2. UTILIZAÇÃO DE MODELOS DE REGRESSÃO ALEATÓRIA PARA OBTENÇÃO DE PARÂMETROS GENÉTICOS DE BOVINOS DA RAÇA TABAPUÃ
Resumo Este trabalho utilizou 28.643 registros de pesos, do nascimento aos 660 dias de idade, de 6.471 animais da raça Tabapuã para estimar componentes de variância, covariância e parâmetros genéticos, utilizando o modelo de regressão aleatória. Foi utilizado algoritmo de busca AIREML através do método da máxima verossimilhança restrita pelo prog

3. Estimation of genetic parameters for weight traits and Kleiber Index in a Brahman cattle population
ABSTRACT: Interest in improving feed efficiency of cattle has been increasing. The residual feed intake (RFI), the most commonly used measurement of feed efficiency, is expensive and can only be used in a small number of animals. The Kleiber Index has also been proposed to measure RFI. In this study, we estimated genetic parameters for the Kleiber Index aver

4. Genome-wide association study for birth, weaning and yearling weight in Colombian Brahman cattle
Abstract Genotypic and phenotypic data of 1,562 animals were analyzed to find genomic regions that potentially influence the birth weight (BW), weaning weight at seven months of age (WW) and yearling weight (YW) of Colombian Brahman cattle, with genotyping conducted using Illumina Bead chip array with 74,669 SNPs. A Single Step Genomic BLUP (ssGBLP), approac

5. Parametrization of the Davis Growth Model using data of crossbred Zebu cattle
ABSTRACT: The system of differential equations proposed by Oltjen et al. [1986, named Davis Growth Model (DGM)] to represent cattle growth has been parameterized with data from Bos taurus (British) and Bos indicus (Nellore) breeds. The DGM has been successfully used for simulation and decision support in the United States. However, the effect of about 30 yea

6. Factors affecting the selling prices of calves in auctions in Santa Catarina State, Brazil
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of genetic group and calf sex on selling prices in auctions in the state of Santa Catarina (SC), Brazil. We evaluated 33,143 animals, representing 3,587 lots in 47 auctions from 2009 to 2014. The calves were classified according to genetic groups: British breed or crossbreed (BX); Continenta

7. Modelo experimental de endometrite em vacas inoculadas com Escherichia coli inativada por meio de infusão uterina
The aim of this study was to evaluate the endometrial inflammatory response of nine Zebu cows inoculated through uterine infusion with 30 mL of inactivated Escherichia coli suspension (1 x 109 UFC/mL) and nine with 30 mL of sterile phosphate buffered saline. Endometrial biopsies were performed before and after the inoculations during estrus, and ten days lat

8. Rumen degradation and passage kinetics of silage made from different corn hybrids
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the parameters related to the digestion of the fiber from silages of four corn hybrids (BX1280, SHS4070, 2B433, and DKB390) developed for silage production. Four rumen-cannulated castrated Holstein × Zebu crossbred cattle with approximate initial weight of 400 kg were distributed in a Latin square design. T

9. Sulfur sources in protein supplements for ruminants
The present study evaluates the efficiency of different sulfur sources for ruminant nutrition. The fiber digestibility and the amino acid profile were analyzed in the duodenal digesta of crossbred steers fed Brachiaria dictyoneurahay. The sources utilized were elemental sulfur (ES70S), elemental sulfur (ES98S); calcium sulfate in hydrated (HCS), CaSO4.2H2O,

10. Carcass characteristics of feedlot-finished Zebu and Caracu cattle
This study analyzes the chemical carcass characteristics and carcass losses in 86 cattle, both castrated and non-castrated, with an average initial weight of 329 kg and an average age of approximately 20 months, including 12 Gyr, 20 Guzerat, 20 Nellore, and 20 Caracu among the herds selected for weight determination at 378 days of age, as well as 14 Nellore

11. Combined use of ionophore and virginiamycin for finishing Nellore steers fed high concentrate diets
Zebu cattle fed high concentrate diets may present inconsistent performance due to the occurrence of metabolic disorders, like acidosis. The isolated use of ionophores and virginiamycin in high grain diets can improve animal performance and reduce the incidence of such disorders, but recent studies suggested that their combination may have an additive effect

12. Residual feed intake and its effect on carcass and meat characteristics of feedlot Zebu cattle
The objective of this study was to evaluate the residual feed intake (RFI) and its relation with performance, carcass and meat characteristics of Zebu animals. A total of 40 Zebu steers with initial age of 18 months and initial live weight of 350 kg were confined in feedlot for 112 days. The average daily gain (ADG) and dry matter intake (DMI) were obtained
