Resumo: | This study aimed to assess the ingestive behavior and feeding preference of goats reared in degraded Caatinga (dry tropical forest) during three seasons: transition (rainy-dry), dry, and rainy seasons. The experiment was carried out at the UFPB Experimental Station in São João do Cariri, PB, Brazil. Six male goats kept on pasture with an area of 3.2 hectares were used. The animals were assessed through continuous visual observation. The experimental design was completely randomized, with three treatments (rainy-dry, dry, and rainy seasons) and six replications (animals). Means were submitted to the Tukey test at a 5% level. The time spent by animals during the transition season (rainy-dry) had similarities for the selected grasses, herbaceous/sub-shrub plants, litter, and shrub/ tree plants, except for bromeliads and cacti. The animals spent longer grazing time consuming grasses at the rainy season. During this season, marmeleiro (Croton hemiargyreus Mill. Arg.) was the most selected species in relation to catingueira (Caesalpinia pyramidalis Tul.) and pereiro (Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart.). The time spent for grazing activity during the transition season (rainy-dry) was longer than the rainy and dry season. Goats reared extensively in the Caatinga have high plasticity in their eating habits and can behave as grazing or browsing animals.Keywords: idling; grazing; ruminant; selectivity; semiarid. |

Ingestive behavior and feeding preference of goats reared in degraded caatingaComportamento ingestivo e preferência alimentar de caprinos criados em caatinga degradadaThis study aimed to assess the ingestive behavior and feeding preference of goats reared in degraded Caatinga (dry tropical forest) during three seasons: transition (rainy-dry), dry, and rainy seasons.

O experimento foi desenvolvido na Estação Experimental pertencente à UFPB em São João do Cariri-PB, Brasil. Foram utilizados seis caprinos machos mantidos em pastagem com área de 3,2 hectares. A avaliação dos animais foi feita por meio de observação visual e ininterrupta. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com três tratamentos (época de chuva-seca, seco e chuvoso) e seis repetições (animais). As médias foram submetidas ao Teste de Tukey em nível de 5%. Na época de transição (chuva-seca), o tempo gasto pelos animais apresentou semelhanças para gramíneas, herbáceas/subarbustivas, serapilheira, arbustivos/arbóreos selecionados, com exceção das bromélias e cactáceas. Na estação chuvosa, os animais despenderam maior tempo de pastejo consumindo gramíneas. Nessa mesma época, o marmeleiro (Croton hemiargyreus Mill. Arg.) foi a espécie mais selecionada em relação à catingueira (Caesalpinia pyramidalis) e ao pereiro (Aspidosperma pyrifolium). O tempo despendido para atividade de pastejo na época de transição (chuva-seca) foi superior à época chuvosa e seca. Os caprinos, em criação extensiva na Caatinga, apresentam alta plasticidade no hábito alimentar podendo comportar-se como animais pastejadores ou ramoneadores.Palavras-chave: ócio; pastejo; ruminante; seletividade; semiárido.Universidade Federal de Goiás2020-03-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/52435Brazilian Animal Science/ Ciência Animal Brasileira; Vol. 21 (2020): Continuous publicationCiência Animal Brasileira / Brazilian Animal Science; v. 21 (2020): Publicação contínua1809-68911518-2797reponame:Ciência animal brasileira (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporenghttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/52435/34466https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/52435/34467https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/52435/34468https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/52435/34469Copyright (c) 2020 Ciência Animal Brasileirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFormiga, Luiza Daiana Araújo da SilvaPaulo, Paula Frassinetti Medeiros deCassuce, Meiry RodriguesAndrade, Albericio Pereira deSilva, Divan Soares daSaraiva, Edilson Paes 2023-03-23T18:46:38Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/52435Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/vetPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/oai||revistacab@gmail.com1809-68911518-2797opendoar:2024-05-21T19:56:22.430056Ciência animal brasileira (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)true |
