Abstract: This study aimed at evaluating the influence of a silvopastoral system (SPS) composed of ''Aroeira'' trees (Myracrodruon urundeuva) on the nutritional value of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu forage grass over the rainy season. The experiment was conducted in the SPS located in the ''Cerrado'' biome in Lagoa Santa County, Minas Gerais state, Brazil, in the agricultural year of 2004-2005. It was evaluated the influence of ''Aroeira'', whose density in the area was 140 trees/ha, on the following parameters of t… Show more

“…Previous studies have shown that shade in the SPS can increase pasture CP content (Yamamoto et al, 2007;Sousa et al, 2010;Paciullo et al, 2011), and several hypotheses have been advanced to explain this effect. Wilson (1996) attributed this phenomenon to increasing organic matter degradation and nitrogen recycling in the soil under shady conditions.…”

“…Several authors have suggested that one option for improving dairy system efficiency is the integration of pastures with tree species, including legume trees, in silvopastoral systems (SPS, Yamamoto et al, 2007;Sousa et al, 2010;Paciullo et al, 2011). These systems have the potential to increase soil fertility, improve forage quality and animal production, promote animal thermal comfort and provide income diversification for the producer (Rozados-Lorenzo et al, 2007;Paciullo et al, 2011).…”
