Abstract This 3‐year study evaluated the effects of grazing intensity on herbage and steer responses in continuously stocked Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu pasture Brazilian savanna. Treatments consisted three levels, characterized by canopy heights 15, 30 45 cm, measured twice per week. Responses variables included tiller population density (TPD), accumulation rate (HAR) body weight gain area (WGA). A decline TPD (1,237 vs. 767 tillers/m 2 ) was observed from first to third years, which...

Abstract In swards of tall, tufted, tropical grasses like Mombaça guinea grass ( Panicum maximum (Jacq.)), post‐grazing heights promote changes in sward structure, which influence animal performance. This study evaluated structure response to grazing management at two (30 and 50 cm), associated with 90 cm pre‐grazing height. Each treatment was allocated experimental unit (1.5 ha) three replicated blocks. Pastures were pre‐ estimate herbage mass, percentages leaf LP ), stem SP ) dead material...
