The objective of this study was to evaluate the ryegrass pasture production, forage quality and animal productivity in three sheep production systems: lambs weaned at 40 days of age and finished in ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) until slaughter; lambs kept with their dams in the same pasture until slaughter; same treatment, but the lambs were supplemented in 1% of live weight with concentrate in creep feeding. The grazing method was continuous variable stocking, in order to maintain 1,000 kg of […]
