Low productivity of pastures in Brazil is the main cause of poor profitability and competitiveness of animal production systems in relation to other agricultural systems. The objective of the project was to generate technologies in intensive system of livestock grazing using Tanzania grass ( Panicum maximum), Marandu palisadegrass ( Brachiaria brizantha) and Star grass ( Cynodon nlemfuensis) to improve forage production and quality and milk production. To this end, evaluatio ...

For the economic exploitation of animal production in pastureland, it is essential to understand the morphophysiological responses of plants and animals to environment and management conditions, so that production can be efficient. This recommendation becomes more important in intensive pasture systems. In Brazil, especially in the Southeast, Midwest, North and Northeast regions, there is a predominance of tropical forage species, characterized by high dry matter production. However, problems su
