Canopy structure and tillering of Piatã and Marandu grasses under two grazing intensities with sheep
Bioscience Journal, 2017 This study aimed to evaluate productive and structural parameters of Piatã and Marandu cultivars submitted to two grazing intensities. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with treatments in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement (Marandu and Piatã ...

Dynamics of forage accumulation in Elephant grass subjected to rotational grazing intensities
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2013 We assessed the accumulation dynamics of forage and its components in Elephant grass cv. Napier (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) that were subjected to three post-grazing height treatments (30, 50, and 70 cm) from February through May 2009 (experiment one ...

Canopy structure and forage mass of mixed pastures of Marandu palisadegrass and the legume Macrotyloma axillare managed under rotational stocking [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de ZootecniaThe objective of this study was to evaluate the use of grazing management strategies (GMS) in rotational stocking to improve the canopy structure in mixed pastures of Marandu palisadegrass (Brachiaria brizantha cv.

Journal of Animal Science, 2021 Abstract Grazing sward structure can influence animal performance in forage-only and forage plus concentrate-based production systems. The objective was to determine the effects of pre-grazing herbage mass (PGHM), post-grazing sward height (PGSH) and indoor finishing diet on performance of weaned, spring-born beef steers. Steers (n = 96,

Effects of post‐grazing herbage height and concentrate feeding on milk production and major milk fatty acids of dairy cows in mid‐lactation [PDF]
Grass and Forage Science, 2016 AbstractMilk fatty acids (FA) were compared in mid‐lactation dairy cows in four feeding systems combining grazing management and supplementation. The four treatments were factorial combinations of compressed herbage grazed to 3·7 or 4·6 cm post‐grazing height, with or without concentrate feeding (3·6 kg cow−1 d−1).

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 2023 AbstractThe current study investigated the effects of pre-grazing herbage mass (PGHM, 1500 or 2500 kg dry matter (DM)/ha) and post-grazing sward height (PGSH, 4 or 6 cm) on herbage production and its nutritive value and DM intake, grazing behaviour and growth of Charolais steers (n = 96; 12 months of age; 396 ± 19.0 kg) during a 222-day grazing season,
