It was evaluated the ingestive behavior of lactating ewes and ewe lambs before and after weaning receiving different supplement levels (0; 0.5; 1.0, and 1.5% of body weight), grazing on a Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) pasture, under continuous variable stocking. The experimental design was completely randomized with repeated measures in time with four supplement levels and two replicates. The supplement utilized was a commercial ration, daily supplied at 2 p.m. It was evaluated the diurnal grazing time, rumination time, […]

The chewing behavior of crossbred beef steers grazing pure swards of marandugrass (Brachiaria brizantha Stapf Hoesch cv. Marandu), tanzaniagrass (Panicum maximum Jacq. cv. Tanzânia), and forage peanut (Arachis pintoi cv. Amarillo) as well as a mixed sward of marandugrass plus forage peanut all managed to yield different heights was evaluated in this trial. Paddocks of grasses were managed through grazing to obtain six different heights while those of forage peanut and mixed pasture were lowered by using the intermittent grazing […]
