The experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance and body development of beef heifers reared from 15 to 18 months of age on Pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum), Alexandergrass pasture (Urochloa plantaginea) or native pasture invaded by Annoni-2 grass (Eragrostis plana Nees). The experimental design was completely randomized following a repeated measure arrangement, with three treatments and two replications. The grazing method was continuous with variable stocking rate in order to maintain the sward height at 40 cm. Masses of […]

The experiment was carried out with the objective of evaluating attributes of pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum) and Alexander grass (Urochloa plantaginea) pastures and to relate them with ingestive behavior of beef heifers. The experimental design was complete randomized, with repeated measures over time, with two treatments and two area replications. Grazing method was continuos stocking and variable number of animals to keep canopy height at 40 cm. Mass of leaf blade, stem and dead material, forage accumulation rate, leaf/stem ratio, […]

The performance, during the summer of beef steers grazing elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.), alexandergrass (Brachiaria plantaginea (Link) Hitchc), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and millet (Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke) was evaluated. The grazing period for the elephantgrass occurred from 12/04/93 until 04/26/94, and for the other grasses occurred from 01/04/94 until 04/12/94. The total period of grazing was of 143 days for the elephantgrass and of 98 days for the other pastures. The continuous grazing system with variable stocking rate […]
