Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of grazing management strategies (GMS) in rotational stocking to improve the canopy structure in mixed pastures of Marandu palisadegrass (Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu) and legume Macrotyloma axillare. Treatments consisted of combinations of defoliation frequencies (pre-grazing heights of 30 and 40 cm) and intensities (post-grazing heights of 15 and 20 cm) in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, corresponding to four GMS: 30-15, 30-20, 40-15, and 40-20 cm, allocated to [...]
