During pre and post calving periods, it was evaluated the influence of the following forage systems on reproductive performance of primiparous cows: natural pasture during pre and post-calving periods; natural pastures during pre-calving period and improved pastures during post-calving period; improved pastures during pre-calving and natural pasture during post-calving; improved pasture during pre- and post-calving periods. The lowest body weights and body condition scores were observed on cows kept on natural pastures pre-calving (384.3 kg and 3.31; 391.4 kg and […]

The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effect of weaning age on growth and carcass characteristics of calves from primiparous Bos indicus x Bos taurus crossbred cows. Heifers were divided in two groups according to the order of access to pasture and rotationally grazed pastures of ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam) and arrowleaf clover (Trifolium vesiculosum cv. Yuchi) from weaning until their first mating season (two winter/spring seasons); animals were then transferred to native pasture in the following summer-autumn […]
