dc.description.abstractThis experiment was carried out with the objective of determining the macrominerals (Ca, P, Mg, K and Na) requirements of Nellore steers under grazing. Twenty four Nellore steers (371 ± 14 kg of BW and 26 mo old) were used. Four steers were slaughtered at the beginning of the experiment (reference group), serving as a reference in subsequent study. The remaining 20 animals were weighed and distributed into a completely randomized design with four supplementation levels offer: 0.0 (mineral mixture - control), 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9% of BW, with five replications. The supplements, based on ground corn, soybean meal and/or urea, were previously balanced to achieve an average daily gain of 350, 650 and 850g, respectively, for the different supplementation levels offer. The contents of macrominerals retained in the animal body were determined by regression equations of the macrominerals body content logarithm in function of the empty body weight logarithm (EBW). Net macrominerals requirements for a gain of 1kg of EBW were obtained using the equation Y'= b.10ª.Xb-1, with a and b, respectively, the intercept and the regression coefficient of the prediction equations of macrominerals in the animal body contents for each macromineral considered. The concentrations of all macrominerals, in the empty body weight and gain of the empty body weight, decreased with the increase in the body weight. Total calcium and phosphorus dietary requirements are higher than those recommended in the literature.en
dc.description.abstractCom o objetivo de determinar as exigências de macrominerais (Ca, P, Mg, K e Na) de bovinos Nelore castrados sob pastejo, foi conduzido um experimento com 24 novilhos da raça Nelore, castrados, com peso inicial de 371 ± 14 kg e 26 meses de idade. Quatro novilhos foram abatidos no início do experimento (grupo referência) para servir de referência nos estudos subsequentes. Os animais restantes (20) foram pesados e distribuídos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com quatro níveis de suplementação: 0,0 (mistura mineral - controle); 0,3; 0,6 e 0,9% do peso corporal e cinco repetições. Os suplementos, à base de milho, farelo de soja e/ou uréia, foram balanceados previamente para promover ganhos médios diários de 350, 650 e 850 g, respectivamente. Os conteúdos de macrominerais retidos no corpo animal foram estimados por meio de equações de regressão do logaritmo do conteúdo corporal dos macrominerais, em função do logaritmo do peso de corpo vazio (PCVZ). As exigências líquidas dos macrominerais para ganho de 1 kg de PCVZ foram obtidas utilizando-se a equação Y' = b.10ª. Xb-1, em que a e b são o intercepto e o coeficiente de regressão, respectivamente, das equações de predição dos conteúdos corporais de cada macromineral considerado. As concentrações de todos os macrosminerais estudados, no corpo vazio e no ganho de corpo vazio, diminuíram com o aumento do peso vivo. As exigências dietéticas totais de cálcio e fósforo são superiores às recomendadas na literatura.pt-BR
