Different proportions of starch and neutral detergent-soluble fiber in diets for feedlot lambs
(Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2022) [Artigo]This study evaluated the replacement of starch (ST; cracked corn) by neutral detergent-soluble fiber (NDSF; citrus pulp) and its effects on feed intake, performance, digestibility, carcass traits, and nitrogen balance of ... -
CD4 bovine gene: Differential polymorphisms among cattle breeds and a new tool for rapid identification
(Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2022) [Artigo]Two mutations in the CD4 bovine gene (G>T/Q306H; A>C/K310N) were identified as causative for altered staining with anti-CD4 mAb #CC8. We developed a HRM qPCR for genotyping these mutations and compare with immunophenotyping ... -
Home range of pampas deer in a human–dominated agro–ecosystem
(Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2022) [Artigo]The subspecies of pampas deer Ozotocerus bezoarticus uruguayensis is an endemic and endangered cervid from southeast Uruguay. However, knowledge regarding its home range requirements in agroecosystems is scarce. Our aim ... -
Effects of condensed tannins on greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen dynamics from urine-treated grassland soil
(Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022) [Artigo]Condensed tannins are a potentially important treatment option to mitigate N2O (nitrous oxide) and affect carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions; however, their effect has been poorly assessed. Here, we quantified ... -
Odd-chain fatty acids as an alternative method to predict ruminal microbial nitrogen flow of feedlot Nellore steers fed grain-based diets supplemented with different nitrogen sources
(Journal of Animal Science, 2022) [Artigo]This study aimed to evaluate the use of total odd-chain fatty acids (OCFA) as a marker to estimate microbial nitrogen flow (MicN) and calculate the efficiency of microbial nitrogen synthesis (EMNS) in Nellore steers fed ... -
Current applications and perspectives of genomic selection in Bos indicus (Nellore) cattle
(Livestock Science, 2022) [Resenha]Bos indicus cattle acquired very particular traits to thrive in distinct environments based on the evolutionary adaptation process they have undergone, becoming particularly relevant for tropical production systems. In ... -
Meta-analysis across Nellore cattle populations identifies common metabolic mechanisms that regulate feed efficiency-related traits
(BMC Genomics, 2022) [Artigo]Background: Feed efficiency (FE) related traits play a key role in the economy and sustainability of beef cattle production systems. The accurate knowledge of the physiologic background for FE-related traits can help the ... -
Transcriptome Profile Reveals Genetic and Metabolic Mechanisms Related to Essential Fatty Acid Content of Intramuscular Longissimus thoracis in Nellore Cattle
(Metabolites, 2022) [Artigo]Beef is a source of essential fatty acids (EFA), linoleic (LA) and alpha-linolenic (ALA) acids, which protect against inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases in humans. However, the intramuscular EFA profile in cattle is ... -
Dynamics of Growth and Egg Traits in Three Dietary Balanced Protein Scenarios Applied for Laying Hens
(Animals, 2022) [Artigo]The objective of this study was to evaluate laying hens from 8 to 102 weeks old, regarding their changes in performance, body composition, and egg components produced in three scenarios of nutrition. Three treatments ... -
Integrative analysis of Mazama temama (Artiodactyla: Cervidae) and designation of a neotype for the species
(Journal of Mammalogy, 2022) [Artigo]Mazama temama is the smallest red deer in Central America. It was one of the first species described for the genus, and until the end of the last century many authors considered it as a subspecies of Mazama americana due ... -
Meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of yeast as a feed additive on beef cattle performance and carcass traits
(Livestock Science, 2022) [Artigo]Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a group of feed additives widely used in ruminant diets to improve rumen health and consequently animal performance. The present study evaluated the effect of yeast inclusion on beef ... -
Production aspects of hay of tropical pasture of Urochloa brizantha, Megathyrsus maximus and Andropogon gayanus: Forage mass yield characteristics, evaluation of losses, dehydration and nutritional value of hays
(Crop and Pasture Science, 2022) [Artigo]Context: Tropical pasture have been little explored for haymaking, due to lack of information regarding loss of nutrients and of forage dehydration. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the production aspects of tropical ... -
