Summary: In the Semiarid and Coastal Tablelands of Brazil´s Northeast, the incorporation of gliricídia (Gliricidia sepium) in silvopastoral systems works with a dual purpose: 1. Improving soil fertility and 2. Serving as a food supplement to lower livestock production costs during the dry season of the year (Rangel et al., 2010). The objective of this study was to measure the effect of substituting corn silage by gliricídia silage on milk yield and fat content.
