Resumo
Avaliou-se o efeito da adição de enzimas fibrolíticas (celulase e xilanase) sobre as taxas de passagem de partículas e de diluição e os parâmetros ruminais (pH e nitrogênio amoniacal) em animais consumindo dietas contendo silagem de milho e feno de tifton 85 (Cynodon spp.) como volumoso. Oito bovinos com fístulas no rúmen e no duodeno foram distribuídos em dois quadrados latinos 4 x 4, com os tratamentos distribuídos em esquema fatorial 2 x 2 (duas fontes de volumoso e adição ou não de enzimas). O complexo enzimático foi proveniente de fonte comercial e extraído dos fungos Aspergillus niger e Trichoderma longibrachiatum, sendo fornecido na proporção de 12 g/animal/dia, misturado à ração total. Para as taxas de passagem, foram utilizados como marcadores das fases sólida e líquida o cromo-mordente e o cobalto-EDTA, respectivamente. Não houve efeito das enzimas sobre o pH e as concentrações de N-NH3, que apresentaram médias de 6,5 e 22,10 mg/100 mL, respectivamente. A taxa de passagem de partículas no rúmen não foi influenciada pela suplementação enzimática, com médias de 3,4 e 3,0%/h para as dietas contendo silagem de milho e feno de tifton, respectivamente. A taxa de diluição aumentou de 10,07 para 11,84%/h com a adição de enzimas. A suplementação com enzimas fibrolíticas em dietas formuladas com silagem de milho e feno de tifton como volumoso praticamente não alterou os parâmetros avaliados.
The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effect of fibrolytic enzymes (cellulase and xylanase) on particle passage rate, dilution rate and ruminal parameters (pH and ammonia N) in animals fed diets containing corn silage or Tifton 85 hay (Cynodon spp.). Eight bovines fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulas were randomly assigned to two 4 x 4 Latin squares in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments (two forage sources supplemented or not with fibrolytic enzymes). A commercial enzymatic complex containing enzymes extracted from Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma longibrachiatum fungi was mixed in the ration and fed (12 g) daily to each animal. Chromium-mordant and Co-EDTA were used as solid and liquid phase markers, respectively, to estimate passage rates. There was no effect of enzymatic supplementation on ruminal pH and ammonia N averaging 6.5 and 22.10 mg/100 mL, respectively, across diets. Similarly, ruminal particle passage rate was not affected by the enzymatic supplementation with mean values of 3.4 and 3.0%/h for animals fed corn silage and Tifton hay, respectively. However, ruminal dilution rate increased from 10.07 to11.84%/h with enzymatic supplementation. Feeding fibrolytic enzymes to bovines had little effect on the measured variables.
