Herbage Production of Tanzania Grass (\u3cem\u3ePanicum maximum\u3c/em\u3e cv. Tanzania) Submitted to Combinations of Frequencies and Intensities of Grazing by Cattle

Abstract

Animal production from pastures is a complex process comprising three main stages: herbage growth, consumption by grazing animals and conversion into animal products (Hodgson, 1990). Utilisation is the stage where the grazier finds greater flexibility for management, probably because most processes related to harvest of the produced herbage by the grazing animals are very responsive to manipulation and control of defoliation practices. The objective of this study was to evaluate herbage production of a Panicum maximum cv. Tanzania pasture submitted to combinations of frequencies and intensities of grazing
