It was assessed the nutritive value of hand plucked forage samples collected along the grazing period and the animal performance on Mombaçagrass pasture under intermittent stocking with three rest periods (RP). The RPs were defined by the time required for the expansion of 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 new leaves per tiller, after six days grazing period. The experimental area was divided into five paddocks for the 2.5 new leaves RP and six paddocks for the 3.5 and 4.5 new leaves […]
