Suplementação de novilhas de corte em pastagem de capim-Marandu submetidos à intensidades de pastejo sob lotação contínua /

Casagrande, Daniel Rume. January 2010 (has links)
Resumo: Objetivou-se com presente trabalho avaliar as características estruturais do dossel, o comportamento e o desempenho de novilhas de corte, suplementadas, em pastagem de capim-marandu submetidas à diferentes intensidade de pastejo, sob lotação contínua, assim como o efeito do histórico desses fatores sobre a fase de terminação. Para isso realizou-se quatro experimentos. No primeiro foram avaliadas três ofertas de forragem aliadas a dois tipos de suplementação, sal mineral e suplemento protéico energético. No segundo e terceiro experimentos os tratamentos foram três alturas do dossel aliados a três suplementos, sal mineral e dois suplementos protéicos energéticos. E no quarto foi estudado o efeito destes tratamentos sobre a terminação no confinamento ou no pasto. Observou que a altura do dossel influenciou todas as características estruturais do pasto. A suplementação não interferiu na estrutura do dossel, porém tendeu a reduzir o tempo de pastejo dos animais, principalmente nos períodos que antecederam o fornecimento do suplemento, contudo sem afetar o consumo de forragem. O uso de suplemento protéico energético aumentou o desempenho animal. Os fatores relacionado a fase de recria interferiram no período de terminação, porém não afetaram as características das carcaças. A terminação em confinamento aumentou a deposição de gordura nas carcaças e cortes cárneos. Concluiu-se que pastos de capim-marandu sob lotação contínua, sob pastejo por novilhas em recria, destinadas ao abate, podem ser manejados com alturas entre 15 a 35 cm, sendo a altura 25 cm a mais indicada. Suplementação protéica energética aumenta o desempenho animal e a produtividade do sistema / Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the structural characteristics of the canopy, grazing behavior, and performance of beef heifers supplemented at pasture of Marandu grass submitted to different grazing intensity under continuous stocking rate, and the effect of these historical factors on the finish of these, in different systems. Four experiments were conducted. The first evaluated three forage allowances combined with two types of supplementation, mineral and protein/energy supplement. In the second and third experiments the treatments were three canopy heights combined with three supplements: mineral and two protein/energy supplements. And in the fourth, studied the effect of these treatments on the finish system, feedlot or in pasture. It was observed that the height of the canopy affected all the structural characteristics of the pasture. Supplementation did not affect the structure of the pasture canopy, but tended to reduce the grazing time of the animals, especially in periods leading up to the supplement supply, however forage intake was not altered. Concentrate supplementation increased animal performance. At all the evaluated situations the animals' weight gain was limited by energy intake. Factors related to the growing phase interfered in the finishing period, but did not affect the heifers' carcass characteristics. The finishing in feedlot increased fat deposition in the carcasses and in the meat cuts. It was concluded that Marandu grass pasture under continuous stocking, grazing by growing beef heifers intended for slaughter, can be managed in heights between 15 and 35 cm height, and 25 cm appears to be most appropriate.
