Estrutura do pasto e comportamento ingestivo de caprinos em capim-tanzânia submetidos a índices de área foliar residual em lotação intermitente

Abstract

O presente estudo visou identificar mudanças na estrutura do pasto de capim-tanzânia e no comportamento ingestivo de caprinos da raça Anglo nubiana sob índices de área foliar residual (IAFr) em sistema de lotação intermitente. O experimento foi realizado na Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP, campus de Jaboticabal-SP, durante o período de outubro/2009 a maio/2011. Os tratamentos consistiram em três IAFr (0,8 – 1,6 – 2,4), dispostos em delineamento em blocos casualizados, num esquema de parcelas sub-subdivididas. O período de descanso foi adotado segundo o critério de 95% de interceptação luminosa. Amostras de forragem foram colhidas em pontos de altura média a fim de estimar as características estruturais e produtivas. Avaliou-se o comportamento ingestivo animal em pastejo através das variáveis massa do bocado e taxa de bocado. Os IAFr preconizados foram aplicados corretamente resultando em valores médios de 0,9, 1,5 e 2,3 IAFr. No pré-pastejo, não houve efeito do IAFr na massa seca de forragem do capim-tanzânia o que não gerou diferenças na %pastejo, %ruminação e %ócio. Entretanto, os caprinos diminuíram a %pastejo e %ruminação, e aumentaram a %ócio ao longo dos dias de ocupação. A altura do pasto apresentou valor médio de 88 cm aos 95% interceptação luminosa. No pós-pastejo, a massa seca de folha aumentou junto com IAFr e a massa seca de colmo foi similar em todos IAFr testados. Portanto, os diferentes IAFr resultam em mudanças na estrutura do pasto e, consequentemente, modificam o comportamento de caprinos em pastejo

The present study aimed to identify structural changes in Tanzaniagrass and the ingestive behavior of goats in different residua leaf area index (RLAI) under intermittent stocking. The experiment was realized in the University of Sao Paulo State, from October/2009 until May/2011. The treatments consisted of three RLAI (0,8 to 1,6 - 2,4) in random blocks with split-split-plot design. The rest period was used at the criteria of 95% light interceptation. Forage samples were collected at points of average height and after, was realized the separation of the morphological components (leaf, stem and dead material) with aim to estimate the productivity and the structural characteristics. The animal behavior of the grazing and the bit mass, bit rate, variables reflecting the ingestive behavior was evaluated. The treatments were applied correctly resulting in average values of 0.9, 1.5 and 2.3 IAFr. In the pre-grazing wasn´t observed effect in the forage mass which does not cause differences in %grazing, %rumination and %others activities. However, goats decreased the %grazing and %rumination, and increased the %others activities during the days of occupation. The sward height averaged at the 95% light interceptation was 88 cm. In the post-grazing conditions, the leaf dry mass increased with IAFr and the stem dry mass was similar in all tested IAFr. Therefore, the different IAFr result in changes in sward structure and thus modify the behavior of goats in grazing
