Protodioscin levels in Brachiaria spp. in a sheep production system and a brief review of the literature of Brachiaria spp. poisoning in ruminants [PDF]
: Plants of the genus Brachiaria, used in several countries as forage, are poisonous to some livestock species. Their toxic principle is protodioscin, and the main form of clinical presentation of the toxicosis is hepatogenous photosensitization. Here we

Adubação nitrogenada em híbridos de Brachiaria spp.
As exigências nutricionais dos híbridos de Brachiaria spp. ainda são pouco conhecidas, uma vez que, durante o processo de melhoramento genético, são utilizadas espécies com diferentes demandas nutricionais. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se os híbridos de Brachiaria apresentam variações quanto à exigência de nitrogênio e identificar quais

Brachiaria Grasses (Brachiaria spp.) harbor a diverse bacterial community with multiple attributes beneficial to plant growth and development. [PDF]
AbstractEndophytic and plant‐associated bacteria were isolated from plants and rhizoplane soil of naturally grown Brachiaria grasses at International Livestock Research Institute in Nairobi, Kenya. Eighty‐four bacterial strains were isolated from leaf tissues, root tissues, and rhizoplane soil on nutrient agar and 869 media.

Farmers’ Perception and Evaluation of Brachiaria Grass (Brachiaria spp.) Genotypes for Smallholder Cereal-Livestock Production in East Africa [PDF]
Brachiaria (Urochloa) is a genus, common name brachiaria, of forage grasses that is increasingly transforming integrated crop-livestock production systems in East Africa. A study was undertaken to (i) assess smallholder farmers’ perception on benefits of brachiaria in cereal-livestock production, (ii) identify brachiaria production constraints, and ...

Hepatogenous photosensitization by Brachiaria spp. in sheep: first report in Mexico
Ruminants are highly susceptible to photosensitization caused by the ingestion of hepatotoxic plants. In two adjacent farms in Colima, Mexico, several sheep exhibited signs of depression and crusting dermatitis involving the ears, periorbital skin, eyelids, nostrils, and axillary regions.

Toward in vitro fertilization in Brachiaria spp. [PDF]
Brachiaria are forage grasses widely cultivated in tropical areas. In vitro pollination was applied to accessions of Brachiaria spp. by placing pollen of non-dehiscent anthers on a solid medium near isolated ovaries.

CARACTERÍSTICAS PRODUTIVAS E ESTRUTURAIS DE BRACHIARIA SPP. EM LATOSSOLO VERMELHO-AMARELO
A pastagem constitui um dos alicerces na produção de carne e o seu adequado manejo se torna substancial na garantia de excelência da atividade. O adequado crescimento da gramínea forrageira está diretamente relacionado às propriedades físicas e químicas do solo em que é cultivada. Mediante isto, o presente estudo aborda sobre características produtivas
