The chewing behavior of crossbred beef steers grazing pure swards of marandugrass (Brachiaria brizantha Stapf Hoesch cv. Marandu), tanzaniagrass (Panicum maximum Jacq. cv. Tanzânia), and forage peanut (Arachis pintoi cv. Amarillo) as well as a mixed sward of marandugrass plus forage peanut all managed to yield different heights was evaluated in this trial. Paddocks of grasses were managed through grazing to obtain six different heights while those of forage peanut and mixed pasture were lowered by using the intermittent grazing […]
Keywords: biting rate; chewing time; green leaves mass; intake per bite; sward height
