This study aimed at evaluating the reproductive performance of 42 primiparous crossbred Angus cows at 24-25 months of age fed or not a supplement at 0.8% of body weight. The supplement, with 14% crude protein and 70% total digestible nutrients, was supplied for 30 days pre-mating, during the transition period from cultivated to natural pastures, consisting of 23 days on oats (Avena strigosa Schreb) and ryegrass...
The objective was to analyze the ingestive behavior, forage intake and pasture characteristics when beef heifers are kept exclusively on ryegrass pasture (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) or receiving ground corn grain as supplement (0.9% of body weight (BW )) with or without addition of crude glycerin (0.2% BW). Experimental animals were Angus heifers with initial age and body weight of eight months and 166.2 ± 9.5 k...
