Milk Substitute

1. Three groups, each comprising four Hereford-cross and four Friesian half-sib male calves, were fed milk substitute and offered grass cut from autumn pastures. Two of the groups received meal supplements of similar energy value but differing in protein content. The third group received no meal supplement.2. As the consumption of meal rose the intake of herbage dry matter decreased but total dry matter intake increased.3. The effects of the two meals on the progress of the calves were similar but not apparent until after the first 6 weeks. The lack of response to the high protein content of one meal suggests that energy may be the limiting factor to growth of calves reared on autumn pasture.4. Hereford-cross calves which did not receive a meal supplement tended to make the best live-weight gains during the subsequent grazing season, but no such recovery was made by the Friesians.

Результати проведених експериментальних дослі-джень свідчать, що за вирощування різних сортівпшениці озимої після ріпаку ярого в умовах північногоСтепу України одержання найбільш якісного зерна(третього класу якості) забезпечує сівба 25 вереснята 5 жовтня. Сівба 5 та 15 вересня забезпечувалаодержання зерна, здебільшого, п’ятого й четвертогокласів якості. Із-поміж досліджуваних сортів пше-ниці озимої найбільшим вмістом білку (11,2–13,0 %) іклейковини (17,5–22,7 %) у зерні вирізнявся сорт Се-лянка. Найменшими ці показники були у сорту Подо-лянка – 10,6–12,5 та 17,1–21,9 % відповідно. Об¢ємхліба, отриманого з борошна пшениці озимої сортуСелянка, був найвищим. Так, у середньому за 2008–2010 рр. він коливався від 495 см3 за сівби 5 вереснянормою висіву 4 млн схожих насінин/га до 612 см3 засівби 5 жовтня цією ж нормою. Встановлено впливнорм висіву насіння на показники якості зерна. Так,найвищий вміст білку і клейковини в зерні, а такожоб’єм хліба відмічено на варіантах досліду, де сівбупроводили нормою 4 млн схожих насінин/га. Збіль-шення норми висіву призводило до зменшення данихпоказників. У середньому за роки досліджень найвищуврожайність формував сорт Селянка (4,89 т/га) засівби 25 вересня нормою 5 млн схожих насінин/га.Максимальну врожайність рослини сорту Золотоко-лоса – 4,20 та 4,19 т/га – формували, відповідно, засівби 5 жовтня нормою 6 млн схожих насінин/га та 25вересня нормою висіву 5 млн схожих насінин/га. Най-нижчу серед сортів урожайність формував сортПодолянка, що коливалася за період проведення до-сліджень у межах 2,99–3,75 т/га. Results of the conducted pilot researches testify that at cultivation of various sorts of wheat winter after a spring rape in the conditions of the northern Steppe of Ukraine, receiving the most qualitative grain, the third class of quality, provides sowing on 25 September and on 5 October. Sowing on 5 and 15 September provided grain, generally the fifth and fourth classes of quality. Among sorts of wheat winter which were studied in the experiences, the greatest protein content (11,2–13,0%) and glutens (17,5–22,7%) in grain Selyank's sort differed. The smallest Podolyank's sort of – 10,6–12,5 and 17,1–21,9% had these indicators respectively. The volume of the bread received from a flour of wheat of winter of a sort of Selyanka, was the highest. So, on the average for 2008–2010 it fluctuated from 495 cm3 when sowing on 5 September seeding rate of 4 million units germinating seeds/ha to 612 cm3 when sowing on 5 October the same norm. Influence of seeding rate on indicators of quality of grain is established. So, high protein content and glutens in grain, and also the volume of bread are noted on experience options where sowing carried out norm of 4 million units germinating seeds/ha. The increase in seeding rate led to reduction of these indicators. Average, over years of research, the highest yield sort Selyanka formed (4,89 t per ha) when sowing on 25 September norm of 5 million units germinating seeds/ha. The maximum productivity of a plant of a grade of Zolotokolosa – 4,20 and 4,19 t per ha formed, respectively, when sowing on 5 October norm of 6 million units germinating seeds/ha and on 25 September seeding rate of 5 million units germinating seeds/ha. The low among grades productivity was formed by a sort of Podolyanka at which it fluctuated, during carrying out researches, within 2,99–3,75 t per ha.

SUMMARYIn two experiments pigs were weaned at 2 days of age on to a liquid milk substitute, and from 7 days were either kept to 28 days in individual cages and given the liquid diet to a scale based on live weight, or kept in groups and allowed continuous access to the same diet in the form of pellets. The dry-matter intake from the pelleted diet was considerably less than that from the liquid diet, and the live weight of the pigs given the liquid diet was considerably greater at 28 days. The type of diet did not affect the feed: gain ratio. A liquid diet seems essential to realize the maximum growth potential of pigs weaned at 2 days of age. All pigs received a pelleted diet from 29 days and their overall performance from 2 to 56 days was similar regardless of initial treatment.In a further experiment, the performance of pigs given the liquid diet was better when individually caged rather than when kept in groups.

1. Eighty bull calves, comprising forty-eight ayrshire and sixteen each of the Friesian and Jersey breeds, were used in a randomized block experiment. Forty calves were maintainted at a mean environmental temperature of 21° and forty at 14·5°. Within each temperature, twenty calves were reared from birth on a liquid milk substitute diet (pre-ruminant calves) and twenty were weaned at 35 d of age on to dry food (ruminant calves). Each type of diet was gien either ad lib. or at a restricted level. The calves were slaughtered at about 100 d of age.2. The incidence of a high rectal temperature (> 39·39°) was greater for the pre-ruminant than for the ruminant calves during the first 14 d of life and throughout the whole experimental period, and was higher for calves at an enviromental temperature of 21° than for thosekept at 14·5°. During the experimental period as a whole, but not during the first 14 d of life, the incidence of diarrhoea was greater for the pre-ruminant calves. Mean rectal temperature was higher for the pre-ruminant calves and also higher for the calves reared at the high environmental temperature.3. The incidence of lung lesions at slaughter was significantly higher in the ruminant than in the pre-ruminant calves, and tended to be higher at the high environmental temperature. There was a highly significant positive relationship between severity of lung lesions and incidence of a high rectal temperature (> 39·33°) and mean rectal temperature. Jersey and Friesian calves, but not Ayrshire calves, showed increased severity of lung lesions with increasing relative humidity at the low environmental temperature. When the results at the 'high' environmentaltemperature were combined with those obtained in an earlier experiment, the severity of lung lesiogs for Jersey and Friesian calves increased with decreasing relative humidity. At the ‘high’ but not at the ‘low’ temperature, severity of lung lesions was inversely related to skin weight/kgO·73.4. Live-weight gain was much lower for the ruminant calves, but was unaffected by environ-mental temperature. Daily dry-matter intake from liquid diets given ad lib. did not differ be-tween breeds at the same live weight. In contrast, daily dry-matter intake from dry food given ad lib. was greatest for the Jersey and lowest for the Friesian at the same live weight. The same daily dry-matter intake from liquid as from dry diets was achieved at similar percentages of mature weight for the three breeds. Relative weight gain within type of diet was similar for Jersey and Ayrshire calves, but tended to be higher for the Friesian calves.5. Carcassweight, carcass weight0·73, perirenal fat deposition, skin weight and killing out percentage were much lower for the ruminant calves. When adjusted for differences between treatment means for carcass weight0·73, perirenal fat deposition was greater at the ad lib. levels of intake and was 36% greater for pre-ruminant calves given milk substitute ad lib. at an environmental temperature of 21° than for those maintained at 14·5°.6. It is concluded that there is no advantage to be gained from rearing calves at an environ mental temperature above 14·5°, unless increased fat deposition is required in veal calves.

SUMMARY1. Jersey calves were fed on milk substitute at the rate of 10% of live weight per day for 5 weeks and were offered either chopped dried grass or ground, pelleted dried grass to appetite. Calves were slaughtered at birth and after 5, 6, 7, 9 and 12 weeks on experiment, and the weights of the component parts of the alimentary tract and their contents were measured.2. There were close correlations between the weights of the sections of the alimentary tract or their contents and the solid food intake at slaughter, total solid food intake, or empty body weight of the calves. There were no consistent changes with age in the DM concentration or the density of the digesta in any section of the alimentary tract except the abomasum, or in the digestibility or mean retention time of the diets.3. Grinding and pelleting the diet increased the DM concentration but did not affect the density of the digesta. The increase in the weight of rumen contents per unit increase in dry-matter intake was much greater for chopped than for pelleted diets. The reverse was true for the contents of the abomasum and small intestine. There were relatively small variations between diets in the predicted weight of rumen contents, total digesta, or the volume of organs in the abdomen, at the within-diet mean levels of dry-matter intake.

Digestible Protein

In a series of experiments, conducted at the Agricultural College of Athens with crossbred lambs (Friessian X local Attica breed) aged 2 to 3 days, were studied the requirements in energy and digestible protein for the production of lambs slaughtered at 30 to 32 Kg live weight and having carcass quality similar to that of heavy weight milkfed lambs. It was found that this can be achieved with 30 days of feeding with milk substitute and a total intake of 50.000 starch units, 5 : 1 ratio of starch units to digestible protein until 11 weeks of age and 6 : 1 subsequently until the end of fattening period (15 weeks). A linear relationship was found to exist 1) between 10 week live weight and starch units or dry matter intake, 2) between 15 week live weight and starch units or dry matter intake and 3) between 10 and 15 week live weight. These relationships provide the ways to be followed for further study on the subject.

ABSTRACTA change-over design experiment, comprising four periods each of 4 weeks' duration, was used to evaluate three silage types each fed with two levels of protein in the supplement in a 3×2 factorial arrangement. The three silages were high digestibility unwilted (A), high digestibility wilted (B) and low digestibility unwilted (C). The supplements had crude protein contents of 152 and 240 g/kg dry matter, and were offered at a standard rate of 10 kg undried weight daily. The mean silage intakes were 9·3, 9·5 and 8·6 ±0·19 kg dry matter/day for A, B and C respectively, but protein content of the supplement had no significant effect on the intake of silage. Milk yield was significantly affected by both silage type and protein content of the supplement, with the mean yields being 23·6, 23·9 and 22·0 ± 0·49 kg/day for A, B and C respectively, and 22·4 and 24·0 ±0·40 kg/day for the medium and high protein supplements respectively. Although there was no significant interaction between silage type and protein content of the supplement, the greatest response to increased protein was obtained with B. Neither silage type nor protein content ofthe supplement affected animal live weight or milk composition (other than fat content, which was significantly affected by silage type). Blood plasma urea levels were 281 and 405 ± 28·0 mg/1 for the medium and high protein supplements respectively.Total ration digestibility and nitrogen balances were carried out on three animals per treatment. The digestibility of dry matter, organic matter and nitrogen was significantly affected by both silage type and level of protein in the supplement. The output of nitrogen in the urine was also significantly affected by both these factors.

The objective of the present work was to quantify the constitution and composition chemistry of the precooked goat buchada produced in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. The goat buchada presented considerable yield in relation to the live weight. High protein content was observed in the products analyzed. The lipid content presented high variation as result of the lack of standardization of products produced in the state and no control on parameters such as age, weight and breed of the slaughtered animals was observed. Although no difference (P<0.05) in the lipid content was observed, the highest percentages were observed in samples from Remígio and Barra de Santa Rosa, with 14.52 and 15.90%, respectively, as result of the addition of high amounts of omental and mesenteric fat in the buchada and probably the slaughter of older animals.

ABSTRACT The objectives of this work were to study the genetic variability and the interaction between genotypes and environments for cooking time and protein content of bean grains as well as to identify elite lines of Carioca grain type with short cooking time, high protein content and high adaptability and stability for these two traits. Sixteen experiments were conducted in a complete randomized block design with three replications during the rainy, dry and winter seasons, in Goiás, Distrito Federal, Pernambuco, Sergipe, Bahia and Paraná States, in 2009 and 2010. Each trial was composed by 16 elite lines of Carioca grain type and the data of cooking time and protein content were obtained. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and to stability and adaptability analysis, according to the methodology proposed by Annichiarico. Genetic variability was found for cooking time and for protein content among Carioca common bean elite lines; however, for protein content this variability is lower. The environmental effect is important for the expression of these traits and is larger than the genetic effect. The interaction between genotypes and environments is important for cooking time and for protein content of common beans. The lines CNFC 11951 and CNFC 11962 presents short cooking time, high protein content and high stability and adaptability for both traits.
