014 - Metabolismo na adaptação

Introduction

The speaker introduces the topic of animal nutrition and discusses the importance of understanding how to properly feed animals.

Animal Nutrition

• Understanding animal nutrition is important for proper feeding.

• Proper feeding leads to better growth and health in animals.

Adapting to a New Diet

The speaker discusses the process of adapting an animal to a new diet and how it affects their papillae.

Papillae Adaptation

• It takes 5-7 days for an animal's papillae to adapt to a new diet.

• The amount of concentrate or energy in the final diet affects adaptation time.

• Animals with lower energy diets may have shorter adaptation times.

• Longer paths from zero percent concentrate to higher percentages result in longer adaptation times.

Metabolism and Acidosis

The speaker explains how an animal's metabolism works and how it defends against acidosis.

Papilla Growth

• An animal's papillae increase by 55% - 80% when transitioning from pasture to a high-concentrate diet.

• Papilla growth takes time, which can lead to slower consumption rates at first.

Acidosis Defense Mechanisms

• Animals have physiological controls that help prevent acidosis, such as chemoreceptors, permeability control, ammonia production, and endotoxin production.

• These mechanisms are activated when there is too much acid in the rumen.

• When these mechanisms are activated, animals stop eating until conditions improve.

Adaptação do Rúmen

Nesta seção, o palestrante discute a adaptação do rúmen e como os quimiorreceptores ajudam o animal a controlar o consumo de alimentos.

Controle de Consumo

• Os quimiorreceptores são ativados e desativados durante todo o período de adaptação para ajudar o animal a controlar seu consumo.

• Durante a adaptação, os quimiorreceptores regulam a taxa de fermentação ruminal para controlar o consumo.

• O pH ruminal começa a cair à medida que há mais fermentação no rúmen. Isso faz com que os ácidos graxos de cadeia curta sejam absorvidos mais rapidamente pela papila.

• Quando o pH cai, os astros começam a pegar h mais rapidamente porque estão ficando protonados. Isso ajuda na absorção dos ácidos graxos.

Reciclagem da Ureia

• Durante uma fermentação excessiva no rúmen, ocorre reciclagem da ureia via saliva ou parede do rúmen.

• A exigência do meio ruminal aumenta dia após dia durante esse período de adaptação.

• Se faltar amônia dentro do rúmen, um animal tiver reciclando, ele aumenta essa reciclagem.

Urea and Microbial Synchronization

This section discusses the effects of urea on ruminal epithelium permeability and microbial synchronization.

Urea's Effect on Fermentation

• Urea decreases ruminal epithelium permeability to urea, leading to a decrease in fermentation.

• A synchronized microbiota requires both energy and nitrogen for fermentation.

• Increasing protein intake during adaptation can help synchronize the microbiota.

pH and Bacterial Death

• When pH drops below 5.7, bacterial activity decreases, leading to endotoxin release.

• Endotoxins like lipopolysaccharides cause inflammation and reduce consumption.

• Proper adaptation involves controlling pH levels to prevent bacterial death.

Adapting Animal Consumption

• Proper adaptation involves gradually increasing feed concentration to allow papilla growth.

• Abruptly increasing feed concentration leads to increased bacterial activity, acid production, and reduced consumption.

• Gradual transitions allow for proper papilla growth and prevent suboptimal consumption levels.

Bacterial Population Growth

This section discusses the effects of high-concentrate diets on bacterial population growth.

High-Concentrate Diets

• High-concentrate diets lead to a tenfold increase in bacterial population growth in the abdomen.

• Increased bacteria produce more acid that needs accommodation by papilla growth.

• Gradual transitions from low-to-high concentrate diets are necessary for proper papilla growth.

Nutritional Management in Feedlots

In this section, the speaker discusses the importance of controlling the supply of dry matter and fiber in animal diets to ensure proper adaptation and growth. The speaker also emphasizes the need for measuring feed consumption and setting goals for final concentrate inclusion.

Importance of Fiber in Animal Diets

• High-fiber diets are necessary to ensure proper animal adaptation and prevent aggressive behavior.

• Measuring feed consumption is crucial for effective diet adaptation.

• Failure to measure feed consumption can lead to poor animal adaptation and activation of biological and physiological controls.

Setting Goals for Concentrate Inclusion

• Increasing technology use allows for greater energy inclusion in animal diets while minimizing risk.

• Concentrate inclusion has increased by 22.3% over 15 years, indicating a need for continued technological advancement.

• A goal of 85% concentrate inclusion was set based on experimental data showing no difference in weight gain between animals adapted over 14 or 21 days.

Optimal Adaptation Time

• An experiment comparing adaptations over 14 or 21 days showed no difference in weight gain but a significant increase in carcass yield with shorter adaptation time.

• Measuring feed consumption during adaptation is important to ensure optimal results.

Papilla Development and Adaptation Time

In this section, the speaker discusses the importance of papilla development and adaptation time for feedlot cattle.

Papilla Development

• Papilla development is crucial for feedlot cattle to properly digest high-energy diets.

• The development of papilla is not a matter of trying to accelerate it but rather respecting the time it takes to develop.

• Animals adapted in 21 days had better papilla development than those adapted in 14 days or less.

• The surface area of absorptive tissue was greater in animals adapted for longer periods.

Adaptation Time

• Reducing adaptation time from 14 to 9 days did not result in any difference in performance or carcass yield.

• There is no benefit to promoting greater risk by adapting animals in less than 14 days.

• Nutritionalists recommend a minimum of 19 days for adaptation, while researchers recommend at least 14 days.

Effects of Reduced Adaptation Time on Performance

In this section, the speaker discusses how reducing adaptation time can affect animal performance.

Experiment with Corn Grain

• Animals adapted for 14 days had better performance than those adapted for only six or nine days when fed corn grain.

• Regardless of the degree of processing, optimal adaptation time was around 14 days.

Importance of Adequate Adaptation Time

• Insufficient adaptation time can lead to underdeveloped papillae and reduced ability to digest high-energy diets.

• Restricting feed before starting adaptation did not shorten the necessary adaptation period.

Status Nutricional

In this section, the speaker discusses the status nutricional and how to reduce the time of adaptation.

Reducing Time of Adaptation

• The average time for adaptation is 14 days.

• Using different aditivos alimentares or combinations did not reduce the time of application.

• Even using an aditivo antibiótico like sócrates na piscina, which does not reduce consumption of matéria seca, did not help in reducing the adaptation period.

• A protocol of 9 to 14 days was tested on animals comparing animais nelore with meio sangue na laureano. However, it was still not possible to reduce the adaptation period from 14 days.

Papila Development

In this section, the speaker talks about papila development and how it affects animal nutrition.

Slow Papila Development

• The papila develops slowly and so does microbiota.

• It is important to respect the time of development for papila as animals that eat concentrated food before may have an advantage over those who don't.

• Animals that consume more than one percent by weight do not seem to have any advantage over those who consume less than one percent by weight.
