          Abstract

          O objetivo neste estudo foi avaliar as partes não-integrantes da carcaça de tourinhos abatidos entre 14 e 16 meses de idade alimentados com diferentes níveis de concentrado na dieta. Os animais foram terminados em confinamento até atingirem em média 400 kg de peso vivo. Foram utilizados 16 tourinhos alimentados com 22, 40, 59 ou 79% de concentrado na dieta, distribuídos inteiramente ao acaso, com quatro repetições por tratamento. A idade e o peso médio inicial dos animais foram de 9,32 meses e 192,44 kg, respectivamente. O peso de corpo vazio (PCVZ) e o rendimento de carcaça expresso em valores ajustados para o PCVZ foram similares entre os níveis de concentrado na dieta. O aumento no nível de concentrado na dieta promoveu diminuição linear do peso absoluto de intestino e aumentos lineares dos pesos absolutos da gordura ruminal e do abomaso. Quando os componentes foram expressos em valores ajustados para PCVZ e peso de abate (PA), verificaram-se aumentos lineares para pesos de patas, coração, intestinos, gordura de toalete, gordura do rúmen, conteúdo do trato gastrintestinal e conteúdo de gordura interna e diminuição linear do peso de cabeça e omaso com o aumento do nível de concentrado na dieta. O peso de abomaso foi quadraticamente influenciado pelo nível de concentrado, com valores mínimos estimados para os níveis de 68,0; 66,7 e 69,2% de concentrado na dieta, em relação ao peso absoluto, ajustado para o PCVZ e PA, respectivamente. O aumento do nível de concentrado de 22 para 79% promoveu aumento nos pesos relativos do conteúdo do trato gastrintestinal e gordura interna e não influenciou o conjunto dos órgãos internos, o peso de corpo vazio e o rendimento de carcaça ajustado para o PCVZ de tourinhos abatidos aos 14-16 meses com 400 kg.

          The objective of this trial was to evaluate the non-integrant body components of the carcass from young bulls slaughtered at 14-16 months of age, fed different concentrate levels in the diet. The animals were feedlot finished until reaching 400 kg of body weight. Sixteen bulls were randomly distributed into four treatments: 22; 40; 59 or 79% concentrate in the diet. The initial average age and weight were 9.3 months and 192.4 kg, respectively. The empty body weight (EBW) and carcass dressing ajusted for empty body weight were similar among the different concentrate levels. The increase in the concentrate level in the diet promoted linear decrease for intestine absolute weight, and linear increase for ruminal and abomasum absolute fat weight. When the components were expressed as adjusted EBW values and slaughter weight (SW), linear increases were observed for weight of feet, heart, intestine, trim fat, ruminal fat, gastrintestinal tract content and internal fat, and linear decreases were observed for weight of head and omasum as the concentrate level increased. The response of the abomasum weight according to the concentrate level was quadratic, with the minimum values estimated for the concentrate levels of 68.0, 66.7 and 69.2%, in relation to the absolute weight, adjusted for EBW and SW, respectively. The increase in the concentrate level from 22 to 79% increased the ajusted weights of gastrintestinal tract content and internal fat; however, it did not affect the total internal organs, empty body weight and carcass dressing ajusted for empty body weight of bulls slaughtered at 14-16 months of age with 400 kg.

            Review of some aspects of growth and development of feedlot cattle.

            Growth in animals is defined as accretion of protein, fat and bone. Although growth typically is measured as the change in live weight, nutrient retention is estimated more precisely by measuring empty body weight and composition, whereas production economics are measured ideally through carcass weights and quality. As a percentage of live weight gain, carcass weight gain usually is a much higher percentage during the feedlot phase than during the growing phase of production because dressing percentage (ratio of carcass:live weight) increases with maturation and is greater with concentrate than with roughage diets. At a given fraction of mature body size (maximum body protein mass), body fat percentage seems to be a constant. Mature size may be altered genetically and nutritionally. Protein accretion declines to zero when cattle reach their mature body size (approximately 36% fat in empty body weight in modern cattle) even though mature animals can continue to accrete fat. Although fat accretion can be reduced by limiting the supply of net energy, rate of fat accretion by finishing steers given ad libitum access to high-concentrate diets seems to reach a plateau at approximately 550 g daily. Protein mass, in contrast, increases in proportion to empty body weight. The protein:fat ratio of the carcass can be increased through increasing mature size, by administering hormones or hormonal modifiers, by limiting energy intake during the growing period or finishing period, or by slaughtering cattle at an earlier stage of maturity. Energetically, efficiency of accretion of fat is approximately 1.7 times that of protein. But because more water is stored with deposited protein than with deposited fat, lean tissue gain is four times as efficient as accretion of fat tissue. Conversion of protein to fat is very inefficient, suggesting that excess protein is utilized inefficiently.
