          Abstract

          Avaliou-se a eficiência do óxido crômico e da lignina purificada e enriquecida (LIPE®), fornecidos uma vez ao dia, para a estimativa do consumo de matéria seca (CMS). Foram utilizados 12 bezerros de corte, de ambos os sexos, com uma média de idade de 210 dias e peso médio de 168kg, pastejando Brachiaria decumbens, distribuídos em um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, em esquema de parcelas subdivididas. Os valores estimados de consumo, entre machos e fêmeas, foram semelhantes nos dois tratamentos. Entre os indicadores, as estimativas, da produção fecal e do consumo, foram menores para o óxido crômico. O CMS de forragem, o CMS total, o CMS em relação ao peso vivo e o CMS em relação ao peso metabólico, estimados pelos indicadores óxido crômico e LIPE®, foram, respectivamente, 2,03 e 4,50kg; 2,71 e 5,18kg; 1,62 e 3,10% e 58,10 e 111,32g/kg PV0,75. O consumo estimado pelo LIPE® foi mais condizente com as exigências e com o desempenho observado nos animais.

          Translated abstract

          Six male and six female calves, seven-month-old, averaging 168kg bw, grazing on Brachiaria decumbens, were used in a split plot design to compare the efficacy of two external markers: chromic oxide (Cr2O3) and purified and enriched lignin (LIPE®) simultaneously dosed once a day to predict dry matter intake (DMI). For both, Cr2O3 and LIPE®, no differences in DMI according to gender were observed. Comparing the efficacy of the two markers to predict fecal output and pasture intake, the estimates obtained with chromic oxide were lower. Forage DMI, total DMI, DMI as percentage of body weight, and DMI in relation to metabolic weight were: 2.03 and 4.50kg; 2.71 and 5.18kg; 1.62 and 3.10%, and 58.10 and 111.32g/kg bw0.75 for Cr2O3 and LIPE®, respectively. These results suggest that estimates obtained from LIPE® were more appropriate to the dry matter requirements and performance of the calves.

              Nutritional Ecology of the Ruminant

              This monumental text-reference places in clear persepctive the importance of nutritional assessments to the ecology and biology of ruminants and other nonruminant herbivorous mammals. Now extensively revised and significantly expanded, it reflects the changes and growth in ruminant nutrition and related ecology since 1982. Among the subjects Peter J. Van Soest covers are nutritional constraints, mineral nutrition, rumen fermentation, microbial ecology, utilization of fibrous carbohydrates, application of ruminant precepts to fermentive digestion in nonruminants, as well as taxonomy, evolution, nonruminant competitors, gastrointestinal anatomies, feeding behavior, and problems fo animal size. He also discusses methods of evaluation, nutritive value, physical struture and chemical composition of feeds, forages, and broses, the effects of lignification, and ecology of plant self-protection, in addition to metabolism of energy, protein, lipids, control of feed intake, mathematical models of animal function, digestive flow, and net energy. Van Soest has introduced a number of changes in this edition, including new illustrations and tables. He places nutritional studies in historical context to show not only the effectiveness of nutritional approaches but also why nutrition is of fundamental importance to issues of world conservation. He has extended precepts of ruminant nutritional ecology to such distant adaptations as the giant panda and streamlined conceptual issues in a clearer logical progression, with emphasis on mechanistic causal interrelationships. Peter J. Van Soest is Professor of Animal Nutrition in the Department of Animal Science and the Division of Nutritional Sciences at the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Cornell University.
