This research was carried out to evaluate the chemical composition of cipó-de-escada (Bauhinia glabra Jacq) hay at 42, 56, 70, 84 and 98 days of growth after uniformity cut. A completely randomized experimental design, with five treatments and four replicates, was used. The hay was obtained from an area of native pasture lowed and cleaned of 7200 m2, which were subdivided in plots of 360 m2. There were no differences for the content of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), […]

Chemical composition and the potential and effective degradabilities of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) of passion fruit residue (shelves) were studied in the varieties yellow (Passiflora edulis f. Flavicarpa Degener), purple (Passiflora edulis Sims) and sweet (Passiflora alata) and in the mixture of yellow and purple varieties. DM intake, ruminal concentrations of N-ammonium, volatiles fatty acids (VFA) and pH, and rate of liquid and solid rumen digesta flows were also studied. The residues (shelves) […]

This work was carried out to evaluate the agronomic characteristics (bedding, breakage, and productivity) and the chemical-bromatological of the green matter and silage of 19 cultivars of maize. The treatments were applied on 5 x 4-m plots arranged in a randomized block design with four replications. By the ocassion of sowing, doses corresponding to 500 kg/ha of the formula 4-14-8 (N-P2O5-K2O), were applied and at the 47 day of emergency, 60 kg/ha of N in broadcast. From the studied nineteen […]
