Consumo, digestibilidade e comportamento ingestivo em cordeiros alimentados com diferentes níveis de resíduos de panificação

Abstract

This study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the influence of inclusion in increasing levels of biscuit residue in substitution for corn in sheep in grazing. Four rams were used, rumen fistulated, with no defined racial pattern (S.P.R.D.) and initial average weight of 57 kg live weight (P.V.). The animals were distributed in the experimental units according to a 04 x 04 Latin square design, with four treatments, characterized by the replacement of corn by cookie residue in: (0%, 33%, 66% and 100% inclusion) of corn by grazing sheep biscuit. Grazing time, rumination time, leisure time, length of stay, bit rate, total number of bits, total number of food stations, number of bits per food station, number of meals, duration of meals, supplement. The biscuit residue can completely replace corn for grazing sheep, as it does not change the animals' ingestive behavior, nor does it influence the consumption and digestibility of dry matter, thus presenting potential for replacing corn in diets for sheep.
