Eficiência de pastejo de capim-marandu submetido a diferentes ofertas de forragem Grazing efficiency on marandu palisadegrass as affected by herbage allowance

Abstract

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficiência de pastejo, o desaparecimento de forragem e a variabilidade espacial do dossel em pastagens de capim-marandu sob diferentes ofertas de forragem em pastejo realizado com bovinos da raça Nelore, em Pirassununga, SP. O delineamento foi em blocos completos ao acaso e os tratamentos consistiram de 5, 10, 15 e 20 kg de massa de forragem por 100 kg de peso vivo (PV) por dia (%), aplicados em lotação rotativa. A taxa de desaparecimento de forragem respondeu positivamente ao aumento da oferta de forragem, oscilando de 2,3 a 6,5 kg de forragem por 100 kg de PV por dia em 2003 e de 2,3 a 6,2 kg por 100 kg de PV por dia em 2004. O desaparecimento de forragem por área não diferiu em 2003 (média = 56 kg ha-1 por dia), ao contrário de 2004, quando os maiores valores foram verificados na oferta de forragem de 20% (44 kg ha-1 por dia). A eficiência de pastejo diminuiu com o aumento da oferta de forragem, e chegou ao máximo de 64% em 2003 e 55% em 2004 para a oferta de 5%. O aumento da oferta acarreta aumento contínuo da taxa de desaparecimento de forragem, ao contrário da eficiência de pastejo que decresce exponencialmente.The objective of this work was to evaluate grazing efficiency, herbage disappearance and spatial variability of the sward in Marandu palisadegrass pastures rotationally stocked by yearling Nelore heifers at four levels of herbage allowance, in Pirassununga, SP, Brazil. The experimental treatments were 5, 10, 15, and 20 kg dry matter per 100 kg live weight per day (%), in a randomised blocks design. Herbage disappearance rate increased with rising herbage allowance, and wide-ranging from 2.3 to 6.5 kg DM per 100 kg LW per day in 2003, and from 2.3 to 6.2 kg DM per 100 kg PV per day in 2004. Conversely, herbage disappearance per area differed among treatments only in 2004, and was highest at 20% of herbage allowance (44 kg ha-1 per day). Grazing efficiency decreased with rising herbage allowance, averaged 64% in 2003 and 55% in 2004 for 5% of herbage allowance. The increasing herbage allowance shows as consequence the increase herbage disappearance rate and an exponentially decrease of grazing efficiency.
