Resumo: Two experiments were conducted to compare different feeding frequencies with regard to dry matter (DM) intake, rumen contents, apparent ruminal retention time of the neutral detergent fiber (rNDF) and 48-h in situ DM digestibility (ISDMD). In experiment 1 three rumen-fistulated steers were fed a ration of brachiaria (Brachiaria decumbens) hay, freshly cut pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) forage and ground sorghum; six treatments were applied in an unbalanced design: a) Hourly feeding, b) Feeding every 3 h, c) Feeding every 6 h, d) Feeding every 12 h, e) Feeding every 3 h from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM at which time the rest of the daily ration was given, and f) Feeding every 3 h from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM when the rest of the daily ration was offered. In experiment 2, six animals were used to compare hourly feeding vs. feeding every 6 h in a switchback design. The ration consisted of sugarcane tops, pigeon pea forage and ground corn ears. Means for net DM intake (kg/100 kg LW/ day), rumen contents (kg DM/100 kg LW), rNDF (h), brachiaria ISDMD (%) and pigeon pea forage ISDMD (%) for experiment 1 were: 1.93, 1.76, 23.8, 66.0 and 63.1, respectively, with no significant differences. In experiment 2, the means for DM intake, rumen contents, rNDF and pigeon pea ISDMD were: 1.76, 1.79, 37.6 and 53.4, respectively, again with no significant treatment differences. It was concluded that feeding frequency is not a factor of importance in the methodology for rumen digestion studies.

Experimento 1: 3 novilhos fistulados no rumen receberam uma ração de feno de braquiária (Brachiaria decumbens), guandu fresco (Cajanus cajan) e panícula de sorgo moído; foram testados 6 tratamentos em um delineamento não balanceado: a) Alimentação a cada hora, b) a cada 3 h, c) a cada 6 h, d) a cada 12 h, e) a cada 3 h, das 6:00 horas até as 21:00 horas, quando receberam o restante da ração, f) a cada 3 h, das 6:00 horas até as 18:00, quando receberam o restante da ração. Experimento 2: utilizaram-se 6 novilhos e 2 tratamentos: Alimentação a cada hora vs. alimentação a cada 6 h, num delineamento de reversão dupla. A ração consistiu de ponta de cana, guandu e milho com palha e sabugo. As médias para consumo de MS (kg/100 kg PV/dia), conteúdo ruminal (kg MS/100 kg PV), rFDN (h), DISMS do feno de braquiária (%) e DISMS do guandu (%) foram: 1,93; 1,76; 23,8; 66,0 e 63,1, respectivamente. No experimento 2, as médias para consumo de MS, conteúdo ruminal, rFDN e DISMS do guandu, foram: 1,76; 1,79; 37,6 e 53,4; respectivamente. Não se apresentaram diferenças significativas devidas aos tratamentos. Concluiu-se que a frequência de alimentação não é de importância para o estudo da digestão ruminal. Pesquisa Agropecuaria BrasileiraPesquisa Agropecuária BrasileiraPaz, Manuel Enrique RuizThiago, Luiz Roberto Lopes de São2014-04-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/13965Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira; v.23, n.7, jul. 1988; 797-804Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira; v.23, n.7, jul. 1988; 797-8041678-39210100-104xreponame:Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online)instname:Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)instacron:EMBRAPAenghttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/13965/7935info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2014-09-15T19:51:59Zoai:ojs.seer.sct.embrapa.br:article/13965Revistahttp://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pabPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phppab@sct.embrapa.br || sct.pab@embrapa.br1678-39210100-204Xopendoar:2014-09-15T19:51:59Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online) - Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)false
