The purpose of this study was to assess the fermentative characteristics of total mixed ration silage (TMR) based on cactus pear and cottonseed cake and its effect on the productive performance and ingestive behaviour of lambs in feedlot. The study was divided into two experimental trials. The first experimental trial evaluated the fermentative quality of the total mixed ration silages, in five replications per treatment, and the second evaluated the productive performance and ingestive behaviour of lambs, in eight replications per treatment, with the treatments being represented by the proportion of cottonseed cake in the TMR (0; 20; 25 and 30% cottonseed cake on dry matter basis).

Brackish water can promote physicochemical changes in the soil. Aiming to mitigate the effect of excess salts in the soil, the use of organic matter promotes restructuring. The aim was to evaluate the productive and nutritional characteristics of cactus pear under different brackish water depths (ID) and levels of organic matter (OM).

- Feedlot finishing of goats is becoming more popular, but using ingredients like corn and soybean can hurt the economic benefits; therefore, agroindustry coproducts like crude glycerin are being explored as alternatives.
- A study involving 32 castrated crossbred Boer goats examined the effects of diets with varying levels of crude glycerin on their metabolism over 69 days and found no significant impact on serum urea levels or metabolic profiles.
- However, high levels of crude glycerin (which contained some methanol) negatively affected liver tissue in the goats, suggesting that using glycerin with lower methanol content is a better option for their diets.
