This study addressed the dose-response effect of an encapsulated nitrate product (ENP) replacing soybean meal (SBM) in the finishing period (87-d) of feedlot bulls. One hundred twenty Nellore bulls (340 ± 28 kg of body weight, BW; mean ± SD) were allotted to 20 outdoor pens (6 animals/pen) and assigned to a randomized complete block design with 5 blocks based on initial BW and 4 dietary treatments: SBM, as control; ENP-10, 10 g ENP/kg dry matter (DM; 6.5 g NO3/kg DM); ENP-20, 20 g ENP/kg DM (13 g NO3/kg DM); and ENP-30, 30 g ENP/kg DM (19.5 g NO3/kg DM). Finishing diets (90:10 concentrate to roughage ratio) were formulated to provide similar amounts of nutrients. Animals were gradually and simultaneously adapted over 14 d to ENP and concentrate. Dry matter intake (DMI) reduced linearly (from 9.6 to 8.4 kg/d; P = 0.02) with ENP inclusion. Final BW, average daily gain (ADG), carcass ADG, hot carcass weight, dressing percentage, and fat thickness were not affected (P ≥ 0.12) by treatments. There was a quadratic trend for increased carcass gain:feed (0.121, 0.130, 0.128, 0.127, respectively; P = 0.07). Nitrate concentration in meat increased linearly (3.48, 2.73, 3.98, 6.59 mg NaNO3/kg meat; P = 0.02) with ENP addition, although nitrite was not detected. Time spent eating (min/d) was similar (P ≥ 0.16) among treatments, whereas a linear increase (P = 0.02) was observed for time spent eating per unit of DMI when ENP was fed. There was a trend (P = 0.07) for a quadratic effect in ruminating time per unit of DMI according to ENP increments. Blood methemoglobin before morning feeding increased linearly (P < 0.01) on d 28 and 56 as more ENP was fed, however, values remained ≤ 3.57% of total hemoglobin. Increasing levels of ENP affected further blood metabolites, such as triglycerides (quadratic response, P < 0.01), total cholesterol (linear increase, P = 0.05), urea (linear decrease, P < 0.01), aspartate aminotransferase (linear decrease, P < 0.01), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (linear decrease, P = 0.04). In conclusion, finishing bulls fed ENP performed similarly to SBM, suggesting ENP as a promising nitrogen source. There was evidence of a possible improvement in carcass-based feed efficiency (a decrease in DMI associated with a similar carcass ADG) for bulls fed ENP, reaching a calculated maximum value for the inclusion rate of 17.7 g ENP/kg DM.

包膜硝酸盐替代大豆粉对肥育场肥育公牛的生长性能,摄食行为和血液代谢产物的剂量效应

这项研究解决了在育肥公牛的肥育期(87天)中,硝酸盐封装产品(ENP)代替豆粕(SBM)的剂量反应效应。将一百二十只内洛尔公牛(体重340±28千克,体重;平均值±标准差)分配给20只室外围栏(6只动物/围栏),并根据最初的体重和4种饮食分配到5个整体的随机完全块设计中处理:SBM,作为对照;ENP-10,10g的ENP / kg干物质(DM;6.5克NO 3 - /公斤DM); ENP-20,20g的ENP / kg的DM(13克NO 3 - /公斤DM); 和ENP-30,30g的ENP / kg的DM(19.5克NO 3 -/ kg DM)。配制日粮(精矿与粗饲料的比例为90:10)以提供相似量的营养。使动物在14 d内逐渐并同时适应ENP并集中注意力。 加入ENP后,干物质摄入量(DMI)线性降低(从9.6千克/天降低至8.4千克/天;P = 0.02)。最终BW,平均日增重(ADG),胴体ADG,热胴体重,屠宰率,和脂肪厚度并没有受到影响(P通过处理≥0.12)。car体增重:饲料的增加呈二次趋势(分别为0.121、0.130、0.128、0.127;P  = 0.07)。肉中硝酸盐浓度呈线性增加(3.48、2.73、3.98、6.59 mg NaNO 3 / kg肉;P = 0.02)加上ENP,尽管未检测到亚硝酸盐。花费的时间吃(分钟/ d)是相似的(P ≥0.16)处理之间,而线性增加(P  = 0.02)观察到废每DMI的单元进食时ENP供给时间。 根据ENP增量,每单位DMI的思考时间存在二次趋势(P = 0.07)。早晨喂食前的血液高铁血红蛋白在第28天和第56天随着喂食更多的ENP呈线性增加(P <0.01),但其值仍≤总血红蛋白的3.57%。ENP水平升高会进一步影响血液代谢产物,例如甘油三酸酯(二次反应,P <0.01),总胆固醇(线性增加,P) = 0.05),尿素(线性下降,P <0.01),天冬氨酸转氨酶(线性下降,P <0.01)和γ-谷氨酰胺基转移酶(线性下降,P  = 0.04)。总之,饲喂ENP的肥牛表现与SBM相似,表明ENP是有希望的氮源。有证据表明,饲喂ENP的公牛的car体饲料效率可能提高(与类似car体ADG相关的DMI降低),达到17.7 g ENP / kg DM的包容率的计算最大值。
