Summary: The mombaça grass (Panicum maximum cv. Mombaça) is the most tropical forage used in intensive production systems on Brazil. In these systems, the nitrogen doses use is a form of intensification but it is necessary to find a balance between grazing management an use of nitrogen due to potential of response of mombaça grass. The objective of this work was to evaluate herbage accumulation, sward structural characteristics and animal production in mombaça grass pastures receiving nitrogen doses and managed with intermittent grazing.
