Abstract excerpt
The beef sector in Campos grasslands must increase animal productivity without external inputs, while reducing environmental impact. The objective of this study was to estimate herbage intake (g/metabolic body weight [MBW]/d) of straightbred (Hereford/Angus) and crossbred (F1 of Hereford × Angus) beef cows grazing subtropical native grassland with High and Low herbage allowance (HA, 5 vs. 3 kg DM/kg bodyweight...
