Os tratamentos foram 0, 200, 400 e 600 kg N/ha/ano, em duas épocas, usando a ureia como fonte de N. Foi usado o delineamento de blocos ao acaso com duas repetições e os dados analisados por meio de modelos mistos, utilizando-se medidas repetidas no tempo (duas épocas: de julho a setembro e de setembro a novembro de 2013). Foram utilizadas vacas Holandês x Zebu bloqueadas em função da produção de leite, número de lactações, peso vivo e grupo genético, usando taxa de lotação inicial de seis vacas por hectare. Além do pasto, as vacas foram suplementadas diariamente com dois quilogramas de concentrado, contendo 20% de Proteína Bruta (PB) e 70% de Nutrientes Digestíveis Totais e 25 kg/vaca/dia de silagem de sorgo. Os resultados mostraram que a adubação nitrogenada exerceu efeito positivo nas características produtivas da grama Estrela Africana, bem como na sua composição morfológica e que ocorreram aumentos nos teores de PB e DIVMS e semelhança nos teores de FDN, proporcionalmente ao aumento das doses de N. A produção de leite diária por vaca não foi afetada pelas doses de nitrogênio aplicadas na pastagem. Houve aumentos na taxa de lotação e na produção animal por área, com os maiores valores nos tratamentos com 400 e 600 kg/ha/ano de N.

Modelling lead and cadmium uptake by star grass under irrigation with treated wastewater

Madyiwa, Simon 27 October 2006 (has links)
This study was conducted to investigate the capacity of Cynodon nlemfuensis (star grass) to accumulate lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) and develop metal uptake models for sandy soils receiving treated sewage from domestic and industrial sources. The study area comprised a non-polluted area and an adjacent area that received treated sewage from Harare’s Firle Wastewater Treatment Plant for over 30 years. Measured soil properties, total Pb and Cd in soils and grass and past records of Pb and Cd in treated sewage were analysed. Growing grass in a greenhouse in pots with previously non-polluted soils amended by single and mixed Pb and Cd salts and irrigated with treated sewage tested the uptake capacity of star grass. Yields, soil bio-available and grass Pb and Cd levels were measured and used to develop models for estimating critical soil and grass concentrations at which productivity declines. In the field, star grass grown in 10m x 10m plots in the non-irrigated and irrigated areas, received varying amounts of treated sewage over 11 months. Soil bio-available and grass metal contents were measured and used to develop field-based models to predict Pb and Cd content in star grass. Star grass had a high Pb and Cd extraction capacity, making it unsuitable for pasture if grown on polluted soils. Correlation between total Pb and Cd in soils and grass was insignificant (p<0.05). Logarithm-based models of log10 bio-available soil levels and log10 grass metal levels provided the best-fit regression models for Pb and Cd predictions in grass. Toxicity levels of Pb and Cd that were derived for star grass from pot-based models were higher than levels recommended for pasture. Toxicity occurred without visible signs on grass, making it difficult to recognise toxicity without testing. The field-based uptake models predicted safe bio-available limits for pasture on sandy soils. The co-presence of Pb and Cd resulted in increased Cd uptake but did not significantly affect Pb uptake. Star grass can accumulate more than 1 mg/kg of Cd at total soil Cd levels of less than 1 mg/kg, suggesting that the soil limit may be too high for a sandy soil. / Thesis (PhD (Chemical Engineering))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Chemical Engineering / unrestricted

Intoxicação espontânea e experimental por tifton 68 (Cynodon nlemfuensis vanderyst) em bovino / Spontaneous and experimental poisoning by Tifton 68 (Cynodon Nlemfuensis Vanderyst) in cattle

No. of bitstreams: 1 PGCA15MA153.pdf: 768844 bytes, checksum: 09e919bb447b4491effdae453e00ced9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-02-20 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Tifton 68 (Cynodon nlemfuensis Vanderyst) is a grass cultivated in southern Brazil and it causes peracute clinical manifestations of dyspnea, swallowing difficulty, muscle tremors, bloat and recumbency in cattle. After starting the first clinical signs, death occurs quickly. Gross and microscopic lesions were not observed. The present study describes the epidemiological, clinical and lesional spontaneous tifton 68 poisoning that occurred in Rio do Sul, Pouso Redondo, Taió and Rio do Campo, in Santa Catarina State. Data were obtained through information from Animal Pathology Laboratory, Centro de Ciências Agroveterinárias (LAPA / CAV) archives. Experimentally was performed the hydrocyanic acid concentration in fresh and dry leaves and treatment with specific antidote solution. The disease was experimentally reproduced with the administration of tifton 68 green leaves for two cattle in doses starting of 10.3 g/kg. The cyanogenic poisoning was confirmed by the immediate response to sodium thiosulfate and sodium nitrite intravenous treatment. Tifton 68 green leaves samples had positive response to picric acid paper test, with mild reaction, turning orange in color. Dried tifton 68 leaves showed no toxicity even at high doses (18 and 27 g/kg) being safe for cattle consumption / Tifton 68 (Cynodon nlemfuensis Vanderyst) é uma gramínea cultivada na região sul do Brasil e é responsável por manifestações clínicas superagudas de dispneia, dificuldade de deglutição, tremores musculares, timpanismo e decúbito em bovinos. A morte ocorre rapidamente após o inicio dos primeiros sinais e não são encontradas alterações macro e microscópicas significativas. O presente estudo descreve os aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos e lesionais da intoxicação espontânea por tifton 68 que ocorreu nos municípios de Rio do Sul, Pouso Redondo, Taió e Rio do Campo, estado de Santa Catarina, registrados no Laboratório de Patologia Animal do Centro de Ciências Agroveterinárias (LAPA/CAV). Experimentalmente foram avaliados a concentração de ácido cianídrico nas folhas verdes e secas dessa planta e o uso de solução antídoto específica. A reprodução experimental consistiu na administração de folhas verdes de tifton 68 para dois bovinos com doses a partir de 10,3 g/kg. O quadro de intoxicação cianogênica foi confirmado pela imediata resposta ao tratamento endovenoso com tiossulfato de sódio e nitrito de sódio. As amostras da planta verde forneceram resposta positiva ao teste do papel picro-sódico. O feno de tifton 68 não demonstrou qualquer toxicidade, mesmo em doses maiores (18 e 27 g/kg), sendo seguro para a alimentação de bovinos
