Zusammenfassung: | The objective of this study was to evaluate the
effect of different fat sources in finishing diets on
performance of feedlot steers. Twenty steers,
with average age of 20 months and initial live
weight of 260 ± 41.3 kg, were feedlot fed during
126 days. The animals received corn silage as
roughage and the tested concentrates were:
basic concentrate (BC); basic concentrate + whole
rice bran and rice oil (WRB); basic concentrate +
3 % of fatty acids calcium salts (M3) and basic
concentrate + 6 % of fatty acids calcium salts
(M6). Each treatment had animals with the following
genetic group: 1 pure Charolais (CH), 1 pure
Nellore (NE), 2 11/16 CH 5/16 NE, 1 21/32 NE 11/
32 CH. No significant differences were observed
for crude protein, digestible energy, neutral and
acid detergent fibers intakes. The animals that
consumed 6 % of fatty acid calcium salts presented
higher ether extract intake (0.77 kg/day), while
those that consume 3 % or whole rice bran and oil
showed intermediate value (0.51 kg/day) and the
ones that consumed basic concentrated presented
lower value (0.25 kg/day). Similar averages were
observed for average daily weight gain (1.142,
1.199, 1.365 and 1.391 kg/day, for BC, WRB, M3
and M6, respectively) and final weight (421 kg).
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar efeito do
uso de diferentes fontes de gordura na dieta sobre
o desempenho de novilhos confinados em fase de
terminação. Foram utilizados 20 novilhos, com
idade média inicial de 20 meses e peso vivo médio
inicial de 260 ± 41,3 kg, que permaneceram con-
finados por 126 dias. Os animais receberam silagem
de milho como volumoso e os concentrados tes-
tados foram: concentrado base (BC); concentra-
do base + farelo de arroz integral e óleo de arroz
(WRB); concentrado base + 3 % de sais de cálcio
de ácidos graxos (M3) e concentrado base + 6 %
de sais de cálcio de ácidos graxos (M6). Cada
tratamento possuiu animais pertencendo aos
seguintes grupos genéticos: 1 puro Charolês
(CH), 1 puro Nelore (NE), 2 11/16 CH 5/16 NE, 1 21/
32 NE 11/32 CH. Não foram observadas diferenças
entre os consumos de proteína bruta, energia
digestível, fibras em detergente neutro e ácido. Os
animais que consumiram 6 % de sais de ácidos
graxos apresentaram o maior consumo de extrato
etéreo (0,77 kg/dia), enquanto que aqueles que
consumiram a dieta M3 e WRB apresentaram valor
intermediário de consumo (0,51 kg/dia) e os que
consumiram BC mostraram o menor valor (0,25 kg/
dia). Similaridades de valores foram observadas
