Efeito do estádio de maturação sobre o consumo e digestibilidade aparente da matéria seca de três gramíneas tropicais
Keywords:
capim-pangola, matéria seca, consumo voluntário, coeficiente digestibilidade, fase consumoAbstract
The effect of stage of maturity upon dry matter consumptionand digestibility was studied with three tropical grasses, gordura grass (Melinis minutiflora Beauv.), pangola grass (Di- gitaria pentzii Stent.) and sempre-verde grass (Planicum ma- ximum Jacq.). Male sheep in matabolism cages, were used for this experiment.
