ABSTRACT We aimed to estimate litter size and litter uniformity genetic parameters and genetic trends of Landrace pigs at birth and at three weeks by using multitrait analyses for 2,787 litters. The following litter traits were evaluated: number of piglets born alive (NBA), within-litter weight mean at birth (MBW), within-litter weight standard deviation at birth (SDB), within-litter weight coefficient of variation at birth (CVB), number of piglets at three weeks (NT), within-litter weight mean at three weeks (MT), within-litter weight […]

It was evaluated spatial and temporal variability of status descriptive characters of Brachiaria decumbens (signalgrass) cv. Basilisk deferred pastures. Treatments consisted of combinations of pasture deferring periods (73, 103, 131 and 163 days) with grazing periods (29, 57 and 85 days). Randomized block design with two repetitions and subdivided plots was used. It was determined the dispersion of pasture height (PH), stretched plant height (SPH) and falling index (FI) values. Pasture height spatial variability increased linearly with the deferring period, […]
