Evaluation of sodium monensin on the performance of lambs supplemented in pasture

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of the ionophore addition to the concentrate supplement on the 0; 25; 50 and 75 mg of monensin/animal/day on levels, in the performance of sheep. It was used 16 lambs average with age of four months old and average initial weight of 17.85 ± 3.84 kg...

Zusammenfassung:The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of the ionophore addition to the concentrate supplement on the 0; 25; 50 and 75 mg of monensin/animal/day on levels, in the performance of sheep. It was used 16 lambs average with age of four months old and average initial weight of 17.85 ± 3.84 kg, the animals were kept in a pasture of Bermuda grass Tifton 85 ( Cynodon spp.) in on completely randomized design was used. Pasture accumulation and quality were evaluated. Addition of monensin did not affect average daily weight gain, the best feed conversion and feed efficiency. Supplementation of the sodium monensin concentrated supplement did not favored or better performance of animals. Este experimento foi conduzido para avaliar o efeito do ionóforo adicionado ao suplemento concentrado, nos níveis de 0; 25; 50 e 75 mg de monensina/animal/dia, no desempenho de ovinos. Foram utilizados 16 cordeiros mestiços, machos, inteiros, com idade de quatro meses e peso médio vivo inicial de 17,85 ± 1,84 kg, mantidos em pastagem de Tifton 85 ( Cynodon spp.), usando um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso. Estimativas da biomassa e da qualidade da forragem foram realizadas. A adição de monensina sódica não afetou significativamente o consumo do suplemento concentrado. Os ganhos de peso médio dos cordeiros não foram estatisticamente influenciados pelos tratamentos, porém foram considerados elevados. A monensina sódica não causou redução no consumo nem alterou o ganho de peso dos animais criados a pasto.
