Abstract

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of replacement of corn by forage cactus on the ingestive behavior of eight crossbreed cows, assigned to a two 4 x 4 Latin square design. The treatments were a factorial 2 x 2 arrangement (two cultivars of forage cactus and two corn levels, with and without). There wasn’t interaction between forage cactus and corn (p > 0,05). The cows that consumed giant forage cactus spent more time eating and those that consumed small forage cactus spent more time resting (p < 0,01). The intake of water was lower for the animals that consumed diets with giant forage cactus and without corn (p < 0,01).
