The present study aimed to evaluate the application of shear strength and its correlations with leaf blade morphological and chemical variables as a tool capable of detecting differences between species and accessions of the genus Paspalum in the early stages of a forage plant breeding programme. A total of 13 Paspalum accessions from two species (Paspalum atratum and Paspalum regnellii) were subjected to analy...
This study characterizes the changes in leaf mass, morphological composition and nutritional value of leaf blades of palisadegrass (Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu) under continuous grazing in the first year of implementation of pasture and after second year of the eucalyptus planting in an Integrated Crop-Livestock System and Integrated Crop-Livestock-Forest, which were tested in the four seasons. The experimen...
The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of inclusion of dried distillery grains (DDGS) as a replacement for soybean meal in the diet of lambs in feedlot and to evaluate the performance, yield characteristics, and meat quality. Three diets with different DDGS levels were provided: diet with soybean meal (control); diet with 50% replacement of soybean meal by DDGS; diet with 100% replacement of soyb...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of combinations of dry and moist corn and sorghum grain on the carcass and cut characteristics of crossbred lambs Suffolk x Santa Inês produced in feedlots. The experimental design was a randomized block with four treatments and three replicates. Sixty uncastrated male lambs with an initial average weight of 15.5 kg were used in this experiment. Four combi...
Indigestible fractions of dry matter (iDM) and neutral detergent fiber (iNDF) in the feed of ruminants are mainly estimated by in situ incubation time with regard to particle size and textile types. Samples of alfafa, ground into three particle sizes, were analyzed. Samples, processed in a Willey mill with 1.0; 2.0 and 3.0 mm sieve pores, were conditioned in F57 (Ankon®), nonwoven (100 g m-2) and polyester text...

Water deficiency during the dry seasons influences the relationship between water and gas exchange in tropical grasses, reducing their productive potential. In addition, the phosphorus (P) deficiency Brazilian soils adds to the set of factors limiting crop production. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the responses of different tropical forage species to phosphorus supplementation as ...
O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a degradabilidade ruminal da matéria seca (MS), proteína bruta (PB), fibra em detergente neutro (FDN) e amido e a digestibilidade in vitro da matéria seca (DIVMS) da silagem de híbridos de milho em função de duas texturas, três estádios de colheita, três tamanhos de partículas e processamento por meio do esmagamento. Após colheita e picagem, parte do material foi esmaga...
Este estudo foi conduzido na Fazenda Canchim em São Carlos-SP, área física da Embrapa Pecuária Sudeste, objetivando selecionar, com base nas características agronômicas de produtividade de matéria seca e qualidade da forragem, os acessos das espécies do gênero Paspalum indicados por possuir potencialidade para utilização como plantas forrageiras. Foram avaliadas durante 3 anos, 22 gramíneas forrageiras, sendo 1...
