The objective of this study was to evaluate the vegetal and animal production of a natural pasture on a Mollisol soil in the region of Campanha, in RS. The experimental design consisted of complete randomized blocks with three replicates, which enables the comparison between natural unfertilized pastures with fertilized pastures and pastures fertilized and overseeded with Lolium multiflorum, Lotus corniculatus cv. São Gabriel and Trifolium repens cv. Lucero (NPO). Data were submitted to the analyses of variance considering seasons of […]

The experiment was performed in a natural pasture to evaluate the effect of the forage offer level on the pasture structure and ingestive behavior of steers. A completely randomized block design with four daily green forage offer levels (4, 8 12 and 16 kg GFDM/100 kg LW) and two replicates was used. The continuous grazing method with variable stocking rate was used. The increasing forage offer enhanced the higher strata frequency and determined higher inferior strata height. The increasing inferior […]
