| ABSTRACT: Sorghum is the second cereal used in pigs’ diets in Brazil, which has a lower cost than corn, thus this experiment aimed to study the effects of high-moisture sorghum silage grain with high- and low-tannin contents on silage quality and piglets’ performance. A total of seventy-two weaned piglets were allocated into randomized blocks with six replicates and four treatments, based on diets with dry corn grain (DCG); dry sorghum grain with low-tannin (LTSG), high-moisture sorghum grain silage with low-(LTSS) and high-tannin (HTSS). The ensiling process decreased total and condensed tannin contents to 31% and 98% for LTSS and, to 80% and 93% for HTSS, respectively. No treatment effects observed on average daily feed intake and average daily weight... |

| The extrusion and extrudate properties measured include expansion indices (or puff indices), bulk density, residence time, solid density, moisture content, maximum stress, water solubility index (WSI), water absorption index (WAI), extruder output, crispness and color. The ranges of the three variables considered were 100 - 160°C for barrel temperature, 100 - 200rpm for screw speed, and 15 - 25% for feed moisture content (w.b.). The density of extrudate measured varied between 176kg/m3 and 1100kg/m3 for the extrusion variables considered. The moisture content of the dry extrudate is between 6% and 7.5% with the mean value of 6.75%. Using the experimental results, predictive equations were developed to relate the influence of processing parameters on the... |

| In broiler feed manufacturing, grinding may significantly increase costs due to electric energy use. This study evaluated the performance and the morphometrics of the gastrointestinal tract of broilers. According to a completely randomized experimental design, 2,400 birds (1,200 males and 1,200 females) were submitted to five treatments of eight replicates each. Treatments consisted of diets based corn or sorghum as follows: ground corn (A), broken corn (B), ground sorghum (C), ground (50%) and whole (50%) sorghum (D) and whole sorghum (100%; E). Pre-starter feeds (1 to 8 days), based on corn or sorghum, were produced only with ground grains. The study was divided in two trials: males and females. The results were submitted to analysis of variance... |
