Efecto del nivel de oferta de alimento en la recría a corral sobre el crecimiento animal y la eficiencia de conversión en el período invierno-primavera
Effect of feeding level during feedlot back-grounding on animal growth and feed efficiency of the winter-spring period Abstract. The present evaluated the effect of feedlot feeding system and the amount of feed offered (OF) on average daily gain (ADG) and feed efficiency (FE) during the winter-spring season (182 days) in a calf rearing system. Forty Hereford heifers (159 ± 25 kg) were randomly assigned to one of five treatments during winter (98 days): winter grass pasture a rate of 5 kg of dry matter (DM) per 100 kg liveweight (LW) and four total mixed rations with 30 % of roughage fed in a feedlot, differing in OF (2,2 %, 2,5 %, 2,9 % and 3,2 % LW on a dry matter basis). During spring (84 days), all treatments grazed a mixed pasture (6 kg DM /100 kg LW) in weekly plots, with independent plots per repetition (n=2 plots/treatment). The experiment was analyzed as a completely randomized design, using orthogonal contrasts to compare the effect of feeding system: feedlot (SAC) vs. grazing (SAP) and the effect of OF during winter in SAC. At the end of the feedlot period (first fourteen days), SAC treatments reported weight loss compared to SAP (-0,46 vs. 0,44 kg/day, P 0,05). An ad libitum feedlot feeding system results in greater body weight at the end of spring. Key words: beef cattle, confinement, feed conversion ratio, feed restriction, transition period. Efecto del nivel de oferta de alimento en la recría a corral sobre el crecimiento animal y la eficiencia de conversión en el período invierno-primavera Resumen: Se evaluó el efecto de la alimentación a corral de terneros y del nivel de oferta de alimento (OA) sobre la ganancia diaria (GMD) y la eficiencia de conversión (EC) del alimento durante el período invierno-primavera (182 días). Cuarenta terneras Hereford (159 ± 25 kg) fueron asignadas al azar a cinco tratamientos durante el invierno (98 d): pastoreo de verdeos a razón de 5 kg de materia seca (MS) cada 100 kg peso vivo (PV) y cuatro raciones totalmente mezcladas con 30 % de voluminoso suministradas a corral que diferían en la OA (2,2 %, 2,5 %, 2,9 % y 3,2 % del PV en base seca). En primavera (84 d), todos los tratamientos pastorearon una pradera mezcla 2 (6 kg MS/100 kg PV), en parcelas semanales, independientes por repetición (n = 2 parcelas/tratamiento). El experimento se analizó según un diseño completamente al azar, utilizando contrastes ortogonales para comparar el efecto del sistema de alimentación: corral (SAC) vs. pastoreo (SAP) y el efecto asociado a la OA durante el invierno en SAC. A la salida del corral (primeros catorce días), los SAC reportaron pérdidas de peso respecto a SAP (-0,46 vs. 0,44 kg/día, P 0,05). La alimentación a corral ad libitum determina mayores pesos a fines de primavera. Palabras claves: confinamiento, eficiencia de uso del alimento, ganado vacuno, período de transición, restric
