Foram utilizados quatro machos castrados Holand?s x Zebu, fistulados no r?men, com peso vivo m?dio de 664 kg, distribu?dos em delineamento quadrado latino 4 x 4. Os tratamentos consistiram em quatro dietas isoproteicas e isoenerg?ticas, formuladas com rela??o volumoso:concentrado 60:40 com base na mat?ria seca (MS). O volumoso foi composto de silagem de milho (51% MS) e? feno de Tifton (49% MS), e o concentrado formulado com n?veis crescentes de substitui??o do farelo de soja pelo farelo de crambe em 0%, 2,8%, 6,4% e 11,0% na MS da dieta. O comportamento ingestivo foi avaliado atrav?s do m?todo direto de avalia??o visual, em intervalos de 10 minutos, durante per?odos de 24 horas. Registrou-se a frequ?ncia de alimenta??o, rumina??o e ?cio e a posi??o do animal (em p? ou em dec?bito). As vari?veis em p? e em dec?bito n?o diferiram entre os tratamentos, assim como os tempos gastos em alimenta??o, rumina??o e ?cio. O consumo de mat?ria seca e de FDN expressos em g/dia e gFDN/dia respectivamente, a efici?ncia de rumina??o expressa em gMS/min, a efici?ncia de rumina??o expressa em gFDN/dia e o tempo de mastiga??o total n?o diferiram significativamente. No entanto, a efici?ncia de alimenta??o (gMS/min) variou de forma linear decrescente com a inclus?o do farelo de crambe. Os per?odos do dia influenciaram todas as atividades. O maior tempo de alimenta??o foi observado nos per?odos ap?s o fornecimento da dieta e a maior atividade de rumina??o foi verificada no per?odo noturno. A substitui??o de farelo de soja por farelo de crambe n?o afetou o comportamento ingestivo, exceto para o par?metro efici?ncia de alimenta??o. Neste sentido, considerando o comportamento ingestivo, recomenda-se a substitui??o do farelo de soja por farelo de crambe para alimenta??o de bovinos leiteiros. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ?

Four male Holstein x Zebu rumen, with average live weight of 664kg distributed in latin square design 4 x 4. The treatments consisted of four diets isonitrogenous and isocaloric, formulated roughage used concentrate 60:40 with based on dry matter (DM). The forage was corn silage (51% DM) and Tifton grass hay (49% DM), and the concentrate was formulated with increasing levels of substitution of soy bean meal by crambe meal at 0%, 2.8%, 6.4% and 11.0% of the diet DM. The feeding behavior was evaluated using the direct method of visual assessment in intervals10 minute during a 24 hour period. Recorded the frequency of feeding, idling time and the animal's position (standing or supine). The variables standing and supine id not differ between treatments as well as spending one a ting, ruminating and idling times. The consumption of dry matter and NDF expressed in g/day and gNDF/day respectively, the efficiency of rumination expressed in gDM/min, the efficiency of rumination expressed in gNDF/day and the total chewing time did not differ significantly. However, the efficiency of power (gDM/min) ranged from decreasing linearly with the inclusion of crambe meal. Periods of the day influenced all the activities. The longer feeding time was observed in the periods after the diet intake and greater rumination activity was observed at night. The replacement of soy bean meal by meal crambe, did not affect feeding behavior, except for the feeding efficiency parameter. In this sense, considering the feeding behavior, it is recommended there placement of soy bean meal by crambe meal to feed dairy cattle.
