Like humans, cattle also require a minimum amount of restorative sleep for their metabolic functions to be properly regulated, resulting in improved performance and in a reduced risk of inflammation. The stages of sleep are basically divided into 1) REM (rapid eye movement), 2) non-REM (also known as deep sleep), and 3) light sleep. It is during the REM and non-REM sleep stages that hormo…
The objective of this project is to evaluate different nutritional protocols including high-moisture corn, rumen-protected fat, zinc and organic chromium in the diets of feedlot Nellore cattle, ranked by estimated progeny difference (EPD) as high and low marbling, on adipogenesis of intramuscular and subcutaneous tissues, meat quality, performance and rumen and cecum morphometrics. In thi…
In this project, two studies will be proposed. The objective of the first study is to evaluate the effect of different nutritional strategies during the adaptation and finishing periods on ruminal fermentation patterns and microbial community of cannulated Angus and Nellore cattle. Four 30-mo-old Nellore and four 30-mo-old Angus steers will be used, with initial body weight of approximate…
In this study, to evaluate the effect of vitamin A, the liver must first be depleted. Following depletion, vitamin A will be reincorporated into the diet at the standard estimated requirement and at a fivefold increase of the requirement. A control group without vitamin A supplementation will be maintained to evaluate the effects of vitamin A deficiency on vitamin A status, sera metabolit…

Methionine analogues with partial metabolism in the rumen can increase the availability of the amino acid in the body and affect the microbiota and rumen fermentation. The objective is to evaluate body growth and ruminal development of calves supplemented with methionine analogue partially degraded in the rumen (HMBi). 36 Holstein calves (18 castrated males and 18 females) will be used at…
The aim of this project is to evaluate different adaptation protocols for intensive pasture finishing (TIP) diets on the performance, ruminal, cecal, and carcass characteristics of Nelore cattle. The experiment will be carried out at the Beef Cattle Sector at UNESP, Jaboticabal campus. Twenty-eightNellore bulls will be used, with an initial weight of approximately 400 kg,randomly distribu…
This project aims to evaluate the effects of increasing levels of Narasin in feedlot diets on the morfometrics and incidence of rumen and cecum lesions of Nellore cattle. The study will last 112 days, in which 128 18-month-old, Nellore yearling bulls will be randomly allocated to 32 pens (n = 4 per pen). The animals will go through a step-up protocol, which means that three adaptation die…

The study aims to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of different doses of Narasin on the total digestibility of nutrients in Angus cattle fed a high-energy diet. It will be used 3 36-mo-old Angus steers of about 680 kg, cannulated in the rumen, in a 3x3 Latin square design, and replicated twice over time; then, the three animals will alternate between treatments according to the six e…
The Brazilian feedlot industry is relatively recent and it is ever-searching for innovation. In order to monitor, understand and expose the development of nutritional and management practices adopted in Brazil, four surveys were conducted in the last decade focused on the feedlot industry in order to map the technologies and practices adopted by feedlot nutritionists. However, the last su…
Confined bovine cattle are exposed to high loads of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), deriving from ruminal fermentation, which can damage the digestive epithelium if it is not developed to promote the removal of such products. Such development is closely related to the absorption of the SCFA produced, especially butyrate, or butyric acid. Thus, the hypothesis raised is that the addition of…

The objective of the present study is to identify and quantify the active microbial populations, their metabolic pathways and interactions within the microbiome, as well as with the host, through shotgun metagenome and metaproteome approaches on rumen and cecum digesta of Nellore cattle supplemented with narasin. Moreover, it will be evaluated the main site of action of Narasin (rumen and…
The objective of this project will be conduct dose titration studies with Plexomin L-Mn to determine the effects of added Mn and lysine on satellite cell GLUT- 4 concentrations, differentiation status and myosin heavy chain expression (MHC I). In this project, the semimembranosus from 2 steers with 16 months, will be used to isolate bovine primary satellite cell (BSC). Myogenic differenti…
The objectives of this project will be as follows: 1) Evaluate tenderness and aging effects in carcasses from sheep given different levels of a lipopolysaccharide immune challenge, 2) Quantify protein and lipid oxidation and relate to degree of oxidative stress in meat, and 3) Determine the effect of oxidative stress on muscle proteolysis. It will be used 36 lambs (<10 months old) and ran…
