Resumo: This study was undertaken to examine production performance, pasture and milk intakes and nutrient digestibility in heifers supplemented with different levels of energy in a creep-feeding system on Urochloa decumbens Stapf pastures during the rainy-dry transition season. Fifty-one heifers with predominant Nellore genetic composition (average initial age and weight: 120 days and 133.4 ± 3.12 kg) and their respective dams were used in an evaluation of production performance, intake, and diet digestibility. Four treatments were evaluated, namely, MM - mineral mixture; T250 - 0.250 kg of supplement per head per day; T500 - 0.500 kg of supplement per head per day; and T750 - 0.750 kg of supplement per head per day, totaling three groups with 13 animals each and one group with 12 animals. All supplements were balanced to provide 100 g of CP animal-1 day-1. LIPE® and chromium oxide were used as external markers to estimate fecal excretion and individual DM and supplement intakes, respectively, whereas iNDF was used as an internal marker for pasture DM intake. Production performance did not differ between the supplemented and unsupplemented animals. Total DM intake and pasture DM intake were higher in the group supplemented with concentrate, and the same was observed for the digestibility of DM and NDFap consumed by the animals. The average cow milk yield was 5.33 kg/day, with average protein and fat contents of 3.51% and 4.85%, respectively. In conclusion, compared to the use of mineral mixture only, multiple supplementation at different levels containing 100 g of CP does not significantly improve performance in lactating beef heifers grazing on Urochloa decumbens Stapf and supplemented during the rainy-dry transition season.

Foram utilizadas 51 bezerras com predominância de sangue Nelore e suas respectivas mães, com idades e pesos médios iniciais das bezerras de 120 dias e 133,4 ± 3,12 kg, respectivamente, para a avaliação do desempenho produtivo, consumo e digestibilidade da dieta. Foram avaliados quatro tratamentos: MM - mistura mineral; T250 - 0,250 kg de suplemento por cabeça por dia; T500 - 0,500 kg de suplemento por cabeça por dia; T750 - 0,750 kg de suplemento por cabeça por dia; totalizando 3 (três) grupos com 13 (treze) animais cada e um grupo com 12 (doze) animais. Todos os suplementos foram balanceados para fornecerem 100g de PB animal-1 dia-1. Foram utilizados LIPE® e óxido crômico como indicadores externos para estimativa da excreção fecal e do consumo de MS individual de suplemento, respectivamente e a FDNi como indicador interno para o consumo de MS de pasto. O desempenho dos animais não foi diferente para animais suplementados ou não suplementados. O consumo de MS total e MS de pasto foi maior para os animais suplementados com concentrado, bem como a digestibilidade da MS e da FDNcp ingerida pelos animais. A produção média de leite das vacas foi de 5,33 kg por dia, com média 3,51% de proteína e 4,85% de gordura. Com isso, conclui-se que o uso da suplementação múltipla em diferentes níveis, contendo 100 g de PB, comparado a animais recebendo apenas mistura mineral, não promove melhorias significativas no desempenho de bezerras de corte lactentes sob pastejo em Urochloa decumbens Stapf suplementadas no período de transição águas-seca.UEL2019-10-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/3602310.5433/1679-0359.2019v40n6Supl3p3719Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 40 No. 6Supl3 (2019); 3719-3728Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 40 n. 6Supl3 (2019); 3719-37281679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
