Abstract: ABSTRACT. The aim of this work was to determine ruminal degradation of neutral detergent fiber of grasses of the genus Cynodon, harvested at four cutting ages. It was used a randomized block design, with five treatments arranged in a split plot, the five evaluated genotypes: Tifton 85, Jiggs, Russel, Tifton 68 and Vaquero; were the plots and ages of cutting were the subplots: 28, 48, 63 and 79 days. By adding one day in the cutting age, there was a linear reduction in the effective degradability of neutral det… Show more

“…Com isso, espera-se que esse capim seja menos digestível em relação ao Tifton 85, já que normalmente este apresenta maior lignificação da fibra, como observado em outros estudos (OLIVEIRA et al, 2014a), resultando em menor digestibilidade da MS e valor nutricional do alimento. No entanto, considerando o teor de FDA como única variável para estimativa da digestibilidade da MS, o capim Jiggs apresentou maior digestibilidade (P < 0,001), uma vez que possui menor teor de FDA (P < 0,001, Tabela 2).…”

“…The forages with high productive potential and nutritional value, such as those of the genus Cynodon, can be used for hay production (Oliveira, Monção, Gabriel, Lempp, & Moura, 2014a, Oliveira et al, 2014bSanches, Gomes, Rickli, & Friske, 2016) and, within this genus, the Tifton 85 grass (Cynodon dactylon cv. Tifton 85), mainly due to its morphological and structural characteristics favorable to rapid dehydration such as thin stems and high leaf/stem ratio (Sanches et al, 2016;Taffarel et al, 2014).…”

“…The use of forage conserved as hay is an alternative to mitigate the problems arising from the seasonality of forage production. In order to maintain animal performance and the supply of nutrients to the animal during the period of greater food shortages it is essential to manage high quality forages for production of hay with high nutritional value (Oliveira, Monção, Gabriel, Lempp, & Moura, 2014). Cynodon grasses are potentially recommended for animal production, given their capacity for dry matter production throughout the year and high nutritional value, besides the possibility of using for grazing or as forage conserved as silage or hay .…”
