Natural permanent pasture silage evaluation from one or two cuts in the season

Abstract

Forage dry matter production (ton/ha) at harvest for the three cuts were : 6.4, 2.4 and 4.4 for treatments (A), (B) and (C), respectively.Overall better performance was achieved with short cutting intervals, with higher (P!0.05) growing rates with these two silages compared to the conventional one.
