Description
The 5-yr. study on the native pasture of southern Brazil (30o S) under levels of dry matter on offer (DMO) and continuous stocking, with five tester steers plus the put-and-takers per pasture and two field replications, indicated dry matter residues as dependent on DMO. Dry matter (DM) yield increased with DM residues, as well as dead plant parts. Daily liveweight gains (DLG) and gain ha- 1 showed a curvilinear response to DMO and DM residues. Forage on offer levels promoting selective grazing enhance higher DLG and sustainable G. ha-1, and contributes to the well-being of the ecosystem.
