This project aims to evaluate different nutritional protocols to adapt beef cattle to high-energy diets in non-conventional production systems: no-forage diets and diets for intensive finishing on pasture (TIP). Three experiments will be conducted, with the following treatments in studies 1 and 2: 1) Control: 14-day adaptation on step-up to the conventional finishing diet containing forag…
Like humans, cattle also require a minimum amount of restorative sleep for their metabolic functions to be properly regulated, resulting in improved performance and in a reduced risk of inflammation. The stages of sleep are basically divided into 1) REM (rapid eye movement), 2) non-REM (also known as deep sleep), and 3) light sleep. It is during the REM and non-REM sleep stages that hormo…
The objective of this project is to evaluate different nutritional protocols including high-moisture corn, rumen-protected fat, zinc and organic chromium in the diets of feedlot Nellore cattle, ranked by estimated progeny difference (EPD) as high and low marbling, on adipogenesis of intramuscular and subcutaneous tissues, meat quality, performance and rumen and cecum morphometrics. In thi…
In this project, two studies will be proposed. The objective of the first study is to evaluate the effect of different nutritional strategies during the adaptation and finishing periods on ruminal fermentation patterns and microbial community of cannulated Angus and Nellore cattle. Four 30-mo-old Nellore and four 30-mo-old Angus steers will be used, with initial body weight of approximate…
In this study, to evaluate the effect of vitamin A, the liver must first be depleted. Following depletion, vitamin A will be reincorporated into the diet at the standard estimated requirement and at a fivefold increase of the requirement. A control group without vitamin A supplementation will be maintained to evaluate the effects of vitamin A deficiency on vitamin A status, sera metabolit…

This study aims to evaluate different nutritional protocols to adapt confined Nellore cattle to the finishing diet without the inclusion of roughage sources. The central idea is to test different adaptation length that allow cattle to adapt to all-concentrate-no-roughage diets, under the hypothesis that feedlot Nellore cattle need 21 days, seven days more than the minimum conventionally p…
This study aims to evaluate different dosages of a probiotic based on beneficial bacteria and nutrients in diets containing moderate and high energy levels. Four Nellore steers fitted with a ruminal cannula, with an initial body weight of 300 kg will be used. The experimental design will follow a duplicated 4 × 4 Latin square, using moderate energy diets [35% starch, 1.19 Mcal/kg of net e…
Methionine is a limiting amino acid in suckling calves and can compromise body development. A partially metabolizable methionine analogue in the rumen may enhance post-weaning solid intake as a response to digestive tract development. The cecum ferments particles that escape the rumen, and its health and fermentation can serve as parameters for evaluating the efficiency of rumen developme…

There is much to debate about the quality of the fatty acid profile (PAG) of milk from pasture-fed and feedlot-fed cows. It is clear that there are metabolic changes in the synthesis of fatty acids in milk, which may be related to bioactive functions and human health. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the PAG modulation through diets with different roughage:concentrate ratios. For thi…
The use of feed additives in beef cattle production is crucial for improving performance, health, and feed efficiency. Additives like narasin, an ionophore, enhance feed efficiency, control coccidiosis, and improve energy utilization, leading to better weight gain and feed conversion. Additionally, rumen-protected amino acids, such as methionine, support protein synthesis and improve musc…
The study aims to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of different doses of Narasin on the total digestibility of nutrients in Angus cattle fed a high-energy diet. It will be used 3 36-mo-old Angus steers of about 680 kg, cannulated in the rumen, in a 3x3 Latin square design, and replicated twice over time; then, the three animals will alternate between treatments according to the six e…

The objective of the present study is to identify and quantify the active microbial populations, their metabolic pathways and interactions within the microbiome, as well as with the host, through shotgun metagenome and metaproteome approaches on rumen and cecum digesta of Nellore cattle supplemented with narasin. Moreover, it will be evaluated the main site of action of Narasin (rumen and…
The objective of this project will be conduct dose titration studies with Plexomin L-Mn to determine the effects of added Mn and lysine on satellite cell GLUT- 4 concentrations, differentiation status and myosin heavy chain expression (MHC I). In this project, the semimembranosus from 2 steers with 16 months, will be used to isolate bovine primary satellite cell (BSC). Myogenic differenti…
The objectives of this project will be as follows: 1) Evaluate tenderness and aging effects in carcasses from sheep given different levels of a lipopolysaccharide immune challenge, 2) Quantify protein and lipid oxidation and relate to degree of oxidative stress in meat, and 3) Determine the effect of oxidative stress on muscle proteolysis. It will be used 36 lambs (<10 months old) and ran…
