Resumo
Objetivou-se avaliar o consumo e as digestibilidades aparentes de matéria seca (MS), proteína bruta (PB), extrato etéreo (EE), carboidratos totais (CT) e fibra em detergente neutro (FDN), o ganho de peso e a conversão alimentar em bovinos Nelore, recebendo rações contendo feno de capim-tifton 85 com 35, 42 e 56 dias de rebrota. Foram utilizados 18 novilhos, não-castrados, com peso vivo médio inicial de 345 kg, distribuídos em um delineamento em blocos casualizados, com seis repetições. Todas as rações continham 60% de volumoso e 40% de mistura concentrada constituída por fubá de milho e minerais, na base da matéria seca. O experimento teve duração de 100 dias, 16 dias de adaptação e três períodos de 28 dias para a avaliação do desempenho. O avanço da idade de rebrota do capim-tifton 85 produziu comportamento linear decrescente para consumos de MS, PB e EE, enquanto os consumos de CT e FDN não foram afetados pela idade de rebrota. O ganho médio diário de peso (1,23 kg) e a conversão alimentar (6,35) não foram influenciados pela idade de rebrota. Os coeficientes de digestibilidade de MS (59,6), PB (48,0), EE (53,2), CT (63,6) e FDN (41,5) também não foram influenciados pela idade de rebrota do feno de capim-tifton 85. Embora as dietas utilizadas sejam eqüivalentes nutricionalmente, recomenda-se a idade de corte de 42 dias de rebrota.
Intake and apparent digestibilities of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), total carbohydrates (TC) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF), average daily weight gain and feed: gain of diets containing Tifton 85 bermudagrass hays with 35, 42 and 56 days of regrowth were evaluated with Nellore steers. Eighteen animals averaging 345 kg were allotted in a randomized complete blocks design with six replicates. All diets contained 60% forage and 40% of a concentrate mix based on ground corn and minerals, in dry matter basis. The experiment lasted 100 days, in which 16 were used for the animal adaptation and three periods of 28 days for the animal performance evaluation. As the hay age increased, there was a linear decrease in DM, CP and EE intake, while the TC and NDF intakes were not affected by the regrowth age. The average daily weight gain (1.23kg) and the feed: gain (6.35) was not influenced by the regrowth age. The coefficients of digestibility of DM (59.6), CP (48.0), EE (53.2), TC (63.6) and NDF (41.5) were not affected by the regrowth age of the Tifton 85 bermudagrass hay. Although the diets were nutritionally similar, the recommendation for the regrowth age was 42 days.
