The objective of the experiment was to demonstrate the bromatological composition, and evaluate the fermentation kinetics and effective ruminal degradability in vitro, using the "Hohenheim Gas Test" technique, of babassu mesocarp flour I® and II® (FMBI and FMBII) and of feeds at different levels of inclusion. Two trials were carried out: one of pure byproducts and corn, and another of feeds with inclusions of FMBI and FMBII in the following proportions: 0, 7.5, 15.0 and 22.5% of the total dry matter. The experimental design was of randomized blocks, with six blocks in the first trial and five in the second. Measurement times for the gases produced were 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. The FMBI and FMBII flours showed different bromatological composition for the fibre components (FDN, FDA and Lignin). The FMBI and FMBII flours also showed patterns for fermentation kinetics inferior to the fermentation patterns of corn grain. Increasing the ratio of FMBI and FMBII in the feed reduces gas production for time of incubation. In view of the above, it can be said that mesocarp flours I and II, despite being sources of starch, did not present ruminal fermentation similar to corn grain, the standard source of starch.

Efeito do tamanho de partícula do volumoso e da freqüência de alimentação sobre o consumo e a digestibilidade em ovinos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-03) GOMES, Silas Primola; BORGES, Ana Luisa Costa Cruz; BORGES, Iran; MACEDO JUNIOR, Gilberto de Lima; SILVA, André Guimarães Maciel e; PANCOTI, Carlos Giovani
Intake, apparent digestibility and ingestive behavior were studied in sheep fed four particle size of forage in two daily frequencies. Twentyfour sheep with live weight of 37.0kg were studied in a completely randomized design in factorial 2x4 scheme (two feeding frequency and 4 particle sizes) totaling six animals per treatment. Tifton-85 hay and a commercial concentrate were used with a ratio of 25:75%, respectively. The responses of intake and apparent digestibility were not modified with the treatments. Dry matter intake (DMI) was 97.43g/day/kgW0.75 and DMDA was 66.12%. The intake of neutral detergent fiber was 47.2g/day/kgW0.75. Smaller particle size (2mm) had lower times of rumination (214.58minutes/day) and chewing activity (360.41minutes/day). Animals spent 423.48minutes/day/kg of intake of neutral detergent fiber in rumination and 676.19 minutes/day/kg of intake of neutral detergent fiber in chewing activity. The times spent with rumination and the total chewing activity in sheep decreased as the particle size of the forage was reduced. The particle size of the forage and frequency of feeding did not affect the intake and apparent digestibility in sheep.
