1. Soil seed bank in a subtropical grassland under different grazing intensities
ABSTRACT Grazing is an important determinant for the composition and structure of grasslands; however, soil seed bank (SSB) response to grazing intensity is poorly investigated. We analyzed SSB richness and density in a subtropical grassland in southern Brazil with different forage offers (low, intermediate, high and very high), that is, contrasting grazing

2. Conservation of species-rich subtropical grasslands: traditional management vs. legal conservation requirements in primary and secondary grasslands
ABSTRACT Land-use change is the main cause of biodiversity losses, and for grasslands includes changes in management. The last 10 years has seen afforestation of traditionally grazed grasslands increase considerably in the understudied Serra do Sudeste region of the Brazilian Pampa, turning the region into a mosaic of tree plantations, natural ecosystems (pa

3. Leaf tissue flows and defoliation patterns of Alexandergrass grazed by heifers receiving energy supplement
ABSTRACT. The study was carried out to evaluate defoliation patterns and to quantify leaf tissue flows in Alexandergrass (Urochloa plantaginea (Link.) Hitch) grazed by beef heifers receiving whole rice bran in three levels of supplementation (0, 0.5 and 1 % of body weight). A rotational stocking grazing method and two area replications were utilized. The exp

4. Herbage intake by cattle in kikuyugrass pastures under intermittent stocking method
RESUMO Dois experimentos complementares foram conduzidos para investigar as relações entre a estrutura do dossel de pastagens de Pennisetum clandestinum (capim-quicuiu) criadas por estratégias de lotação intermitente e o consumo de forragem por bovinos. O primeiro (Exp. I) avaliou o efeito de diferentes alturas em pré-pastejo (10, 15, 20 e 25 cm) assoc

5. Multivariate analysis of the behavior and physiology of Girolando heifers in pasture
RESUMO Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito térmico na mudança comportamental e fisiológica de novilhas girolando, por meio da análise de componentes principais. A pesquisa foi conduzida na região Agreste do estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. Foram utilizadas três novilhas submetidas ao sistema de pastejo contínuo. Para determinação do efeito térmico sobre os

6. Evaluation of an inexpensive needle test for the diagnosis of phosphorus deficiency and management of phosphorus supplementation for cattle: A multiple case study
ABSTRACT The needle test (NT) is a point-of-care test developed in Brazil to evaluate the Phosphorus (P) status in cattle. Based on bone resistance, the NT is a very inexpensive method which allows the diagnosis of any degree of P deficiency in a fast and simple way in vivo and directly on farm. The NT measures three levels of resistance in the transverse pr

7. Local piezo-response for lead-free Ba0.9Ca0.1Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 electro-ceramic by switching spectroscopy
The purpose of this work is to determine the effective piezoelectric coefficient (d33) and the macro ferroelectric hysteresis behavior for the Ba0.9Ca0.1Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 (BCZT). The sample was prepared by the modified Pechini method and it was sintered at 1250 ºC for 5 h. The refinements of X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns obtained by the Rietveld method sugges

8. Daily activity patterns of Saanen goats in the semi-arid northeast of Brazil
The objective of the study was to characterize the daily feeding activity patterns of Saanen goats (Capra hircus) as a function of changes in climatic variables. The investigation was conducted in the municipality of Cruzeta, 300 km from the city of Natal, Brazil. Seventeen free-ranging female Saanen goats were selected for observation, wherein they were kep

9. Reducing supplementation frequency for Nellore beef steers grazing tropical pastures
Reduced supplementation frequency is a broadly applied management practice. Ruminants consuming low quality forages/pastures, supplemented less than once daily are able to maintain body weight gain (BWG), efficiency of use of dry matter, nitrogen and other nutrients, as compared with animals supplemented once daily. We evaluated the feeding behavior, dry mat

10. Ingestive behavior, performance and forage intake by beef heifers on tropical pasture systems
The experiment was carried out to evaluate forage intake, performance and ingestive behavior of beef heifers. Productive, structural and chemical characteristics of the pasture were also evaluated. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, with three pasture systems (Alexandergrass [Urochloa plantaginea Link.] with

11. Floristic and vegetation structure of a grassland plant community on shallow basalt in southern Brazil
Few studies have adequately described the floristic and structural features of natural grasslands associated with shallow basalt soils in southern Brazil. This study was carried out on natural grazing land used for livestock production in the municipality of Santana do Livramento, in the Campanha region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The aim of t

12. ESTUDO DA RECRIA DE NOVILHAS DE CORTE EM PASTAGENS CULTIVADAS DE VERÃO / STUDY OF BEEF HEIFERS REARING ON WARM-SEASON PASTURES
Heifers rearing is a determinant step of efficiency in beef cattle production systems on pastures. Several experiments have tested alternative uses for tropical grasses to heifers rearing. In order to summarize results and making not visible relationships evident in these individual experiments an analysis was performed in a set of data from six experiments
