Brazil is among the leading countries in meat production and exportation. The continuous growth of the national beef cattle industry relies on a sustainable and efficient production system. Thus, feed efficiency is a key player to address the costs of production and address the current challenges related to sustainability and use of natural resources. To understand the genetic architectur…
In general, improving the feed efficiency of Brazilian cattle herds is necessary, since the emission of enteric methane is a natural and intrinsic process to the animal and represents an energy loss of up to 12%. Level of intake of the animal, microbial community, in addition to the nutritional value and food chemical composition, are factors that contribute to the individual variation of…
The prodution of beef cattle in Brazil has allowed the country to occupy a prominent position in the world meat trade, and enabled a growth in number of feedlot animals in the national territory. Despite this knowledge, the cost of feed represents the largest monetary investment at a feedlot. Thus, agro-industrial by-products, along with feed efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions and water…
In this study we are going to use 24 Nellores bullocks 32-month age divided in two treatments: (T1) animals (n = 12) with a subcutaneous back fat (BF) measured in the Longissimus dorsi (L. dorsi) muscle at 12th - 13th rib below 3.0mm and (T2) animals (n = 12) with BF over 6.00mm. Animals will be house in feedlot around 90 to 100 days and slaughter with weight exceeding 500kg. Animals wit…
The high production and export of beef cattle in Brazil led to a growing number of animals confined in the national territory and allowed the country to rank in a prominent position in the world meat market. Nevertheless, the high cost of food represents the largest amount invested in the composition of diets in feedlots. Feed efficiency is directly related to increased meat production pe…
