Availability and chemical composition of pasture with different growth habits, grazed by sheep
Abstract
The availability and chemical composition of forage with different habits of development was evaluated. Species were Panicum maximum Jacq, Cynodon dactylon Pers and Paspalum notatum Fluegge (Poaceae). Highest and lowest monthly productions of Dry Mater (DM) of Panicum, Cynodon and Paspalum were 3,095 kg – 1,391 kg; 2,715 – 1,078 kg and 1,099 – 136 kg respectively. Total production of DM/ha/years amounted to 23,714 kg for Panicum, 22,443 kg for Cynodon and 7,150 kg for Paspalum. The latter showed the worst production performance during the period. CP, ADF, NDF and TDN values did not differ among types of forage.Downloads
