<b>Ingestive behavior of crossbred heifers in four seasons related to the structure of stargrass pasture

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The ingestive behavior of crossbred heifers grazing on stargrass pasture was managed at two levels of light interception and two levels of post-grazing residual height. The experiment was conducted at Pesagro (Seropédica, Rio de Janeiro State) between April 2012 and January 2013. The grazing (GT), rumination (RT) and idling (IT) times were evaluated every 10 minutes throughout a 24-hour period. Forage samples were collected for the analysis of chemical composition and for leaf:stem ratio determinatio… Show more

“…Considering the different chemical and physical composition from conventional foods, the use of alternative food should be accompanied by assessments of the feeding behavior of the animals, as these serve as a tool for evaluating diets, allowing feeding management to achieve better performance, as cattle respond differently to various types of food, changing the feeding habits and production levels (Antunes et al, 2014;Pina et al, 2006;Riaz, Südekum, Clauss, & Jayanegara, 2014;Campana et al, 2015;Pimentel et al, 2015;Silva et al, 2005a;b).…”
