Estrutura da pastagem e padrões de desfolhação em capim-mombaça em diferentes alturas do dossel forrageiro

Abstract: RESUMO -Com o objetivo de avaliar o padrão de desfolhação em pastagens de capim-mombaça (Panicum maximum, Jacq.), novilhas leiteiras da raça HPB foram submetidas, em testes de pastejo, a cinco alturas de dossel (60, 80, 100, 120 e 140 cm), em um delineamento completamente casualizado, com duas repetições. Caracterizou-se a estrutura do dossel por meio de: altura; oferta de forragem, massa de forragem e de lâminas foliares; densidade volumétrica da forragem, de colmos mais bainhas e de lâminas foliares; densida… Show more

“…The morphological composition of the herbage mass also varied with sward vertical strata (P<0.010), with the lowest percentage of leaf at the bottom increasing towards the upper strata and the reverse occurring with stem and dead material. This herbage mass and morphological components distribution pattern is typical of pastures (Hodgson, 1990) and applies both to those formed by temperate and tropical plants (Stobbs, 1973, Palhano et al, 2007.…”

“…Much of this difficulty is due to the fact that herbage intake is influenced by several factors of the animal behaviour. Performance depends directly on daily herbage intake and indirectly on the effects of the grazing process on morphological composition, structural characteristics and herbage production (Palhano et al 2005). Thus, knowledge about the mechanisms involved in the grazing process is important to understand aspects regarding control and regulation of herbage intake on pastures (Romney & Gill, 2000).…”

“…Dessa forma, a prática de manejo adotada influencia diretamente a estrutura do pasto, e esta, por sua vez, influencia o padrão de comportamento dos animais em pastejo e, consequentemente, a ingestão de forragem e produção por animal (Carvalho et al, 2001;Palhano et al, 2005;Flores et al, 2008).…”

“…A summary of the results for tropical forage accumulated so far will be presented. Palhano et al (2006;2007a) studied the short-term rate of herbage intake of dairy heifers grazing Mombaça pastures, and found that bite mass decreased and bite rate increased with decreasing pre-grazing sward heights. Despite the greater bite mass in taller swards, time per bite decreased, resulting in increasing intake rate up to 100 cm sward height (Table 6).…”

“…However on swards grazed to 50 cm residue, the bite rate did not vary during the occupation period, indicating that the higher post-grazing residue did not severely interfere with sward structure in order to cause variations in bite rate. Adapted from Palhano et al (2006Palhano et al ( , 2007.…”
