This research evaluated the relationship among the morphological and productive characteristics of clones of cactus forage for identification of those that directly contribute to the production. It was evaluated 50 clones of cactus forage planted five years ago and submitted to the first cut two years before the evaluation. Characteristics of the plant and of the cladode were evaluated and data were analyzed by descriptive characteristics, Pearson correlation and by path analysis of the explanatory independent variables on the dry […]

The effect of the addition of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% of urea to dehydrated vineyards residue, associated to forage cactus palm in the feeding of goats on intake and nutrient digestibility was evaluated. Twenty-four castrated crossbred goats, without defined breed, with average 18 kg of BW were distributed to a randomized block design according to the body weight. The addition of increasing levels of urea to dehydrated vineyards residue increased intakes of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude […]
