Energy and protein nutrition of ruminants present as major cost of feed for ruminants. Special interest has been given to the study of rumen nitrogen metabolism in dairy cows, given the cost of protein sources in diets. The evaluation technical of ruminal metabolism and especially estimation of microbial protein synthesis has been questioned, mainly by difficulties in estimating the post …
The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effects of supplemental omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (FA) sources on cellular immune function of transition dairy cows. Animals were randomly assigned to receive one of four diets: Control (CON; n=11); Whole flaxseed (WF, omega-3 FA source; n=11), 60 and 80 g/kg of WF (diet DM basis) during pre and post-partum, respectively; Whole …
This study was conducted to assess the effects of dietary energy in late pregnancy and hormone therapy at weaning on plasma metabolite profile, litter performance, reproductive parameters, and embryo viability in the second pregnancy. A total of 23 first-parity sows at 75 d of pregnancy were randomly allocated to 4 treatments. Treatments were factorial (2x2) combinations of 2 nutritional …

The transition period is extremely challenging in the productive cycle of dairy cows, where a carefully diet formulation may improve performance of subsequent lactation as well as animal health. Among challenges for a successful adaptation during this period is a reduction in dry matter (DM) intake. The feed intake decreases from 30 to 35% during the last 3 wks before parturition, whereas…
The use of preserved foods as silage, data from the beginning of the century, when the goal was ensure food for animals during pasture scarcity. Currently, silage ceased to be considered an alternative food and has became necessary to achieve high levels of production. Silage can be made from any forage since respected some requirements, which guarantee good fermentative process inside th…
The productive efficiency of dairy cows is related to the quality of the feed provided. Therefore, minimizing the nutritional losses due to the deterioration of the food due to the microbial multiplication can allow an increase in the productive efficiency of dairy cows. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the use of preservative additives in feeding lactating cows and thei…
The evaluation of the digestibility is fundamental for the evaluation of feed nutritional value and indispensable component of researches in animal nutrition. The conventional method, which is the total collection of feces, is a laborious, expensive method and can incur stress for the animal. Methods with internal markers use have been widely used for estimating total tract apparent diges…

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of molasses addition in whole-plant soybean ensiling with different phenological stages on crude protein (CP) in situ degradability. The hypothesis of the experiment is that molasses as a water soluble carbohydrates source increase soybean silage CP in situ degradation regardless the phenological stage. Treatments were arranged in a 3 × 2 factorial…
The addition of enzymes in ruminant diet may manipulate ruminal fermentation and become an alternative to increase feed conversion rate. There are few studies in literature evaluating amylolytic enzyme in ruminant nutrition and experimental conditions largely vary between experiments which impairs comparison among studies and difficult a conclusion to dietary amylase response. In recent l…
The transition period is considered of great importance in the production cycle of dairy cows due to the occurrence of various changes in animal metabolism and physiology. These alterations, mediated by hormonal and metabolic responses, result from the modification of the prevailing physiological condition, when the animal goes from a pregnant and non-lactating condition to a non-pregnant…
