The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the nutritive value, animal performance and feed conversion of beef cattle steers grazing Panicum maximum Jacq. cv. Tanzania pasture subjected to intensities of rotational grazing. Treatments corresponded to two grazing intensities (post-grazing residues of 25 and 50 cm) associated with a grazing interval corresponding to the time necessary for a 95% canopy light interception (LI) condition during regrowth. A randomized complete block design was used, with two replications. The pre-grazing sward height, […]
