Subprodutos da agroindústria na suplementação de búfalos para a produção de carne em sistemas silvipastoris em Belém-PA

Abstract

This study investigated the agro-products in the performance of 15 buffaloes in silvopastoral system - SSP, with African mahogany (Khaya ivorensis), neem (Azadirachta indica) and Panicum maximum, at Embrapa Eastern Amazon, Belém, Pará (1º28'S 48°27'W). The management group was unique, with supplemental feeding (1% BW/day) in isonitrogenous diets (19% CP): Treatment A (Control), Treatment B (supplement with 70% coconut meal) and Treatment C (supplement with 70% palm kernel cake), the design was randomized blocks three treatments, two blocks and five replicates. The animal weight were made at the end of each cycle of grazing and collection of samples of forage, at the entrance and exit of each experimental paddock. Were analyzed for nutritive value of forage and concentrate for CP, NDF, ADF and DM, where the results were similar to those commonly found. The average daily weight gain of animals was 1,006, 0,974 and 1,033 kg for each treatment, respectively, showing the feasibility of replacing the traditional supplement the corn and soy supplements for using as base coconut meal and palm kernel cake.
