Peso vivo final, ganho de peso, características de carcaça e concentrações plasmáticas de IGF-I e hormônios tireoideanos de bezerros mestiços Angus-Nelore recebendo somatotropina bovina recombinante (rbST) até a desmama

Objetivando estudar o efeito da somatotropina bovina recombinante (rbST) sobre o desempenho, as caracteristicas de carcaca e as concentracoes plasmaticas de IGF-I e hormonios tireoideanos, 36 bezerros mesticos ½ Angus-Nelore com idade de 63 ± 17 dias e pesando 76,8 ± 14,7 kg, criados em pastagens de Brachiaria decumbens e suplementados em creep feeding, foram submetidos a dois tratamentos ate a desmama (217 dias): I) 18 bezerros receberam 1,4 mg/kg de rbST (Boostin®) a cada 14 dias; II) 18 bezerros controle receberam solucao salina. As pesagens e colheitas de sangue foram realizadas a cada 28 dias e, a desmama, foram abatidos cinco animais de cada tratamento, para avaliacao das caracteristicas de carcaca. Os animais tratados apresentaram maior ganho de peso medio diario e peso vivo final, maiores concentracoes plasmaticas de IGF-I e T4 que os bezerros controle. Os parâmetros peso de carcaca quente, rendimento de carcaca, pesos de traseiro e dianteiro, gordura peri-renal, peso de figado, area de olho de lombo, espessura de gordura subcutânea, pesos dos musculos do quarto do traseiro e concentracao plasmatica de T3 nao diferiram entre os tratamentos. A utilizacao de rbST proporcionou aumento de 7,9% no ganho de peso vivo e alterou o perfil hormonal de bezerros suplementados em creep feeding durante a fase de cria, nao refletindo, entretanto, em maior peso ou rendimento de carcaca.
