Abstract

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the intake, rumination and idle behavior of 33 Nellore bulls finished in feedlot (frequency and time for each frequency). The bulls were 27 months old and the initial average weight was 401.06 kg ± 7.58. The bulls were allocated into three groups: control, monensin and propolis with 11 replications per trial. The bulls were kept in feedlot during 84 days and slaughtered with final average weight of 484.72 kg ± 24.92. Roughage:concentrate ratio was 52:48, respectively. Corn silage was used as roughage and corn, soybean meal, urea, mineral salt and limestone as concentrate. There was no difference (P>0.05) between the trials, dry matter intake, intake time, rumination and idle. The addition of propolis can be an alternative in ruminant feed because it is a natural product which does not influence the bulls’ intake behavior.
