The present study was carried out with the objective to evaluate the productive and qualitative characteristics of forages produced in systems of intercropping of corn, brachiaria grass and different leguminous plants. Productivity, bromatological composition and the fermentative profile of the silages from the following treatments were evaluated: corn in exclusive cultivation (CEC); intercropping of corn with brachiaria grass (CB); intercropping of corn, brachiaria grass and Calopogonium mucunoides (CBCal); intercropping of corn, brachiaria grass and Macrotyloma axillare (CBMac); and intercropping of […]

The objective of this work was to evaluate the chemical characteristics of the whole plant and the leaf and stem fractions of signal grass in different sowing arrangements to determine the productive performance of the corn/signal grass intercrop. The production of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) per area was evaluated, as well as the concentration of CP, digestible crude protein (CPD), neutral detergent insoluble crude protein (NDICP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), lignin (LIG) non-fiber […]

The objective was to evaluate the culture of signal grass and soybean intercropping or in single cultures on the production of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) per ha. It was evaluate, also, contents of CP, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), lignin (LIG), non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC), NDT, butyric acid and lactic acid, ammonia nitrogen, the content of DM and pH of these silage cultures harvested in two phenological stages (R6 and R7) of the soybean […]
