Daily intake of lactating crossbred cows grazing elephant grass rotationally

Abstract: The goal of this trial was to estimate the total dry matter (TDMI) and daily pasture dry matter intakes (PDMI) by lactating crossbred Holstein Zebu cows grazing elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) paddocks submitted to different rest periods. Three groups of 24 cows were used during two years. The paddocks were grazed during three days at the stocking rate of 4.5 cows/ha. Treatments consisted of resting periods of 30 days without concentrate and resting periods of 30, 37.5 and 45 days with 2 kg/cow/da… Show more

“…Aroeira et al (2001) (2004) avaliaram as respostas quantitativas e qualitativas de pastagens de capim-elefante em dois intervalos de pastejo (24 e 30 dias) e também não observaram efeito dos intervalos de pastejo sobre as massas de forragem em pré-pastejo.…”

“…Resultados semelhantes foram relatados por Cóser et al (2000) e Aroeira et al (2001). A diferença foi mais evidente a partir de maio, quando também a PB da extrusa do segundo dia foram inferiores (P<0,05) às do primeiro dia de ocupação do piquete.…”

“…), a member of the Poaceae family, is a perennial, rhizomatous grass native to tropical Africa (Schmelzer, 1997). It was introduced as forage in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world because of its ability to produce high biomass yield under a wide range of climatic and edaphic conditions (Aroeira et al, 2001) Elephantgrass is highly efficient in fixing atmospheric CO 2 and able to accumulate more than 60 Mg ha -1 of dry matter per year (Morais et al, 2009). Although elephant grass is mainly used as an animal feed (Santos et al, 2013;Rusdy, 2016), the high biomass production, especially in tropical countries, makes it a potential feedstock for bioenergy production (Flores et al, 2012;Ohimain;Kendabie;Nwachukwu, 2014;Sales et al, 2015).…”
