Description
The effect of the animal on the pasture and their reverse consequence was studied on two replicated areas of 0.27 and 0.18 ha in a grasslegume sward established in a poorly humid drained soil in the Brazilian Cerrado. The A. pintoi BRA-031143 and P. atratum BRA- 009610 sward was evaluated during four consecutive years under two grazing pressures (GP). The imposed GP affected the botanical composition and pasture availability. Mean live weight gain/animal/ day under the two imposed GP varied from 387+17g, 578+68g, 697+35g and 687+123g between the 1992/93 and 1995/96 rainy seasons. During the dry season the LWG/animal/day varied from 203+16g and 99+36g for 1993 and 1994, respectively. The results showed the potential of the A.pintoi/P.atratum sward for the seasonally flooded land of the Cerrado ecosystem.
