Twenty-five-centimeter pre-grazing canopy height in palisade grass and forage p...
Ferreira,Igor Machado; Homem,Bruno Grossi Costa; Lima,Italo Braz Gonçalves de; Dubeux Junior,José Carlos Batista; Bernardes,Thiago FernandesABSTRACT: Short-term grazing behavior variables are sensitive to the canopy structure and have an impact on daily forage intake. This study evaluated the effect of pre- and post-grazing canopy heights on the forage harvesting process at a patch scale in a mixture of Brachiaria brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) Stapf. syn. Urochloa brizantha R.D. Webster cv. Marandu (palisade grass) and Arachis pintoi Krapov. & W....
Nutritive value of corn silage from intensive dairy farms in Brazil
de Oliveira,Isabella Lasmar; Lima,Luciana Miranda; Casagrande,Daniel Rume; Lara,Márcio André Stefanelli; Bernardes,Thiago FernandesABSTRACT The objective of this research was to characterize the nutritive value of corn silage made on intensive dairy farms and demonstrate the nutritional variations between silages located at the top and at the center of a bunker silo. Thirty-two dairy farms were visited in four Brazilian states. One corn bunker silo of each farm was chosen and samples were collected from the top and center parts. The nutrit...
Xaraés palisadegrass remains productive after the disappearance of stylo in tro...
Menezes,Rodrigo Carvalho; Alves,Eveline Bueno; Casagrande,Daniel Rume; Lara,Márcio André Stefanelli; Evangelista,Antônio RicardoGradual reduction of legumes in mixed tropical pastures requires periodic oversowing. Exploiting the carrying capacity of grass for an extra year after the disappearance of legumes can be economically advantageous to the farmer. This study aimed to evaluate the productivity of Xaraés palisadegrass (Brachiaria brizantha) pastures in response to its historical association with stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis) unde...
Performance and carcass quality of feedlot- or pasture-finished Nellore heifers...
Casagrande,Daniel Rume; Azenha,Mariana Vieira; Vieira,Bruno Ramalho; Resende,Flávio Dutra de; Faria,Marcelo Henrique de; Berchielli,Telma TeresinhaThe objective of this study was to evaluate the postweaning history of heifers kept on marandu grass pastures with three canopy heights, in a continuous-grazing system, during the rainy period, on feedlot- or pasture finishing. The effects of three canopy heights (15, 25 and 35 cm) associated with two supplements (mineral salt and protein-energy supplement) and two finishing systems in the dry period (feedlot a...
Suplementação como estratégia de produção de carne de qualidade em pastagens tr...
Reis,Ricardo Andrade; Ruggieri,Ana Claudia; Oliveira,Andre Alves; Azenha,Mariana Vieira; Casagrande,Daniel RumeO manejo do pastejo e a suplementação estratégica permitem maximizar a produção de carne bovina em pastagens de forma sustentável. A intensidade de pastejo influencia diretamente o crescimento individual, taxas de aparecimento e mortalidade de perfilhos, a determinar o acúmulo de forragem e a estrutura do dossel. Dessa forma, nas águas, é função do manejo do pastejo adequar a frequência e intensidade de desfolh...
Espécies forrageiras para produção de leite em solos de várzea
Queiroz,Domingos Sávio; Casagrande,Daniel Rume; Moura,Guilherme de Souza; Silva,Edilane Aparecida da; Viana,Maria Celuta MachadoObjetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a disponibilidade de forragem, a composição morfológica e química do pasto, a capacidade de suporte do pasto e a produção de leite de vacas em três gramíneas forrageiras sob lotação contínua e taxa variável em solo de várzea. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado com três tratamentos e três repetições. Os tratamentos constituíram-se das gramíneas Paspalu...
Performance of supplemented heifers on Marandu grass pastures in the wet-to-dry...
Oliveira,Amanda Prates; Bertipaglia,Liandra Maria Abaker; Melo,Gabriel Mauricio Peruca de; Berchielli,Telma Teresinha; Ruggieri,Ana CláudiaThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the characteristics of the sward canopy of Marandu grass during the rainy season, the wet-to-dry transition and the dry seasons, between March and September 2004, under intermittent grazing, and to correlate those characteristics with the performance of crossbred heifers receiving mineral supplements ad libitum or protein supplements. The experiment consisted o...
Suplementação protéica energética no desempenho de novilhas em pastejo durante ...
Moretti,Matheus Henrique; Reis,Ricardo Andrade; Casagrande,Daniel Rume; Ruggieri,Ana Claudia; Oliveira,Rodrigo Vidal; Berchielli,Telma TeresinhaPara estudar o efeito da suplementação da dieta sobre o desempenho de novilhas na fase de terminação mantidas em pastagem de capim-marandu sob lotação intermitente, durante a estação chuvosa, foram utilizadas 20 novilhas cruzadas (¼ Nelore, ¼ Santa Gertrudes, ½ Braunvieh) com peso corporal médio de 300 kg e 22 meses de idade. Os tratamentos constituíram-se de dois tipos de suplementação: sal mineral (SM) ad lib...
Canopy characteristics and behavior of Nellore heifers in Brachiaria brizantha ...
Casagrande,Daniel Rume; Azenha,Mariana Vieira; Valente,André Luis da Silva; Vieira,Bruno Ramalho; Moretti,Matheus Henrique; Ruggieri,Ana CláudiaThe objective of this study was to evaluate the Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu canopy structure maintained at different grazing heights under a continuous stocking rate and with a dietary supplementation strategy for the animals during the rainy season. This study also intended to observe the relationships of these variables with the grazing behaviors of the heifers. The effects of three canopy heights (15, 2...
Sward canopy structure and performance of beef heifers under supplementation in...
Casagrande,Daniel Rume; Ruggieri,Ana Cláudia; Moretti,Matheus Henrique; Berchielli,Telma Teresinha; Vieira,Bruno Ramalho; Roth,Anna Paula de Toledo PizaThe objective of this study was to assess the sward canopy structure of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu pastures maintained in three grazing intensities under continuous stocking system during the rainy season, along with the behavior and performance of grazing beef heifers supplemented with mineral salt or an energy/protein supplement. Three levels of forage allowance were assessed: 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 kg of for...
