O presente trabalho compara a eficiência de três formas de proteína de soja na alimentação de cordeiros confinados. Utilizaram-se 21 cordeiros machos, distribuídos em blocos ao acaso em três grupos de tratamento: farelo de soja (FS) (n=7); soja integral tostado (SIT) (n=7); proteína protegida de soja (PPS) (n=7). As três rações foram balanceadas de acordo com o NRC (1985) e continham os mesmos teores de proteína bruta (18%), energia metabolizável (2370 kcal/kg) e fibra em detergente neutro (38%), diferindo quanto à fonte principal de proteína. Os resultados médios obtidos para ganho de peso, consumo de ração e conversão alimentar não diferiram significativamente (P>0,05). Quanto às características de carcaça, não foram observadas diferenças significativas (P>0,05) para o peso de carcaça quente e para a área de olho de lombo. A taxa de rendimento de carcaça foi significativamente menor (P=0,05) com PPS. A porcentagem de gordura perirenal em relação ao peso de carcaça foi menor (P=0,07) com PPS do que com FS e SIT, que não diferiram entre si. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas nos níveis de glucose plasmática, porém os níveis plasmáticos de uréia aumentaram consideravelmente entre a segunda e a terceira semana após o início dos tratamentos, sendo que a elevação da concentração de uréia plasmática foi significativamente menor (P<0,05) nos animais alimentados com FS. Assim sendo, a PPS mostrou-se menos eficiente para o crescimento de cordeiros.
Protected Soy Protein and the performance of finishing ram lambs
Abstract
The objective of the present work was to evaluate the efficiency of three forms of soy protein with different contents of rumen degradable protein on performance, carcass characteristics and plasma urea and glucose levels of finishing lambs. Ram lambs (21) were assigned to three treatments, on a random block design: soybean meal (SM) (n=7); roasted whole soybean (RWS) (n=7); and protected soybean protein (PSP) (n=7). The three experimental diets were formulated to contain the same levels of crude protein (18%), metabolizable energy (2370 kcal/kg), neutral-detergent fiber (38%), differing only in the main protein source. Average daily gain, feed intake and feed efficiency were not affected by treatment (P>0.05). There were also no effects (P>0.05) on carcass weight and Longissimus dorsi muscle area. The carcass yield of lambs receiving PSP was significantly lower (P=0.05) than that observed with other sources of protein. The percentage of perirenal fat was also lower (P=0.07) for animals fed with PSP. There was no effect on plasma glucose concentration. Plasma urea levels, however, were increased after the second week of the beginning of the experiment, and that increase was significantly lower (P<0.05) with SM than with RWS or PSP. PSP has apparently decreased the performance of growing lambs with reduced deposition of muscle tissue and efficiency of energy and protein metabolism.
