Could Cratylia argentea replace Tifton 85 hay on growing and finishing lamb diets in tropical areas? [PDF]
Legumes shrubs such as Cratylia argentea have an ability to thrive in environments with low water availability and poor soil. On the other hand, forage grasses such as Tifton 85 have a greater demand for inputs to be productive. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of growing and finishing Lacaune lambs fed Cratylia argentea hay ...

Growth curve establishment of Cratylia argentea for harvest timing
Abstract The objectives of this study were to evaluate the growth curve and chemical composition of Cratylia (Cratylia argentea). The experiment was conducted with Cratylia planted in two-line spacings of 2 or 3 meters between rows and 0,5 m between plants. Cratylia plants were evaluated in a cycle of 126 days, with pruning events every 21 days,

Cratylia argentea is a leguminous shrub with a great potential for livestock feeding in tropical areas. However, time consuming and labor-intensive methods of chemical analysis limits the understanding of its nutritive value. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a low-cost technology that has been widely used in forage crops to fasten the assessment of

Molecular characterization of accessions of Cratylia argentea (Camaratuba) using ISSR markers
Cratylia argentea (Desv.) Kuntze (Fabaceae) is a drought-tolerant, perennial legume found primarily in Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. The shrub is well adapted to acid soils and exhibits high productivity and nutritional value, characteristics that would favor its use as a dry season animal forage supplement in semiarid regions.
