This work was carried out with the objective of evaluating the effect of the bovine digestion process on the germination capacity of the capim-annoni-2 (Eragrostisplana Ness) seeds recovered in feces. The seeds (6 g, 27,273 seeds) were placed in a ruminal ventral sack of eight fistulated steers kept in pen trial. Forthy-three percent of the offered seeds were recovered in the feces. Seeds recovered in the first three days corresponded to 97.2% of the offered seeds. Only 7.2% of the […]

The trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of energy supplementation with ground sorghum grain on grazing beef steers weight gain. Sixty five steers without definite breed, aging 12 to 15 months and weighing an average 140 kg of live weight were kept under set stocking on a natural pasture improved with Lotus subbiflorus. Treatments consisted of control or without supplement (T0); 0.75% of mean live weight (T0.75) and 1.5% of mean live weight (T1.75) of ground sorghum grain. Animals […]
