The aim was to evaluate the productive quality and fermentative as like the nutritional parameters of winter grass silage in the vegetative and reproductive stages in two consecutive crop years. The experiment was carried out at Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Campus Dois Vizinhos, Brazil, from April 2012 to December 2013. The experimental field had a 560 m2 area; it comprised 32 plots of 16 m2 each...
Abstract: The aim was to assess the effect of the production system on the yield of non-carcass components of Dorper x Santa Inês crossbred lambs. The study was carried out at the teaching and research unit of sheep and goats of the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Campus Dois Vizinhos - PR using 24 uncastrated Dorper x Santa Inês crossbreed lambs (8 animals per treatment). The experimental design wa...
This research aimed to evaluate the dry matter yield, structural composition and nutritive characteristics of diploid and tetraploid annual ryegrass cultivars on different phenological development to haymaking on lowland soils. The experimental design was developed based on randomized blocks with split plots, four cultivars of annual ryegrass (BRS Ponteio and FEPAGRO São Gabriel, diploid; INIA Escorpio and KLM ...
The aim was to evaluate how the fodder pre- dehydration time and its phenological stages influence on ruminal degradability and digestibility of ryegrass silage. The evaluated samples consisted of treatments: Vegetative: Cut and ensiled; cut + 4 hours pre-drying and ensiled and; cut + 7 hours pre-drying and ensiled; Pre-flowering: Silage cutting and ensiled and 4 hours pre-drying and ensiled; Flowering: cut and...
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; It were evaluated the gas production from tropical legumes with forage potential, including sun hemp (Crotalaria juncea), indian rattlebox (Crotalaria spectabilis), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), perennial horse gram (Macrotyloma axillare), cowage (Mucuna aterrina) wild groundnut (Calopogonium mucunoides) stylosanthes Campo Grande (Stylosantis sp .) an...
