To estimate dry matter intake and to evaluate variation on live weight of heifers, an experiment was conducted from March to July 2003, with the following supplementation strategies: no supplementation (control), cottonseed cake (1 kg); spineless cactus (10 kg); spineless cactus + 0.5 kg of cottonseed cake (5 kg). Dry matter intake of native pasture was not affected by supplementation, but it affected total dry matter intake. Intake of total dry matter (DM) differed among breeds with values of 5.44 […]
