TL;DR: The objective of this work was to evaluate the morphogenetic and structural characteristics of Brachiaria brizantha and decumbens submitted to different nitrogen doses, and found that the daily foliar structure emergence, total number of leaves and number of tillers per B. decumben plant was higher for B. brizintha, however, for phyllochron, thedaily foliar prolongation and life duration of the B. Brizantha leaf were higher.

TL;DR: The brachiaria generally presented better development when supplied with N, and Nitrogen fertilization improves the bromatologicchemical composition of Brachiaria, because it increases CP and reduces NDF and ADF.

TL;DR: Variable cutting intervals (39 days in the summer and 21 days in autumn and winter) was more effective in daily forage production when compared to corresponding intervals, and dry matter rate increased in the three seasons in proportion to increase in cutting intervals.

TL;DR: Peanut cake can replace up to 100% soybean meal in the supplement of grazing lactating crossbred cows without altering the feeding behavior or physiological parameters of the animals.

TL;DR: Based on the intake and ingestive behavior responses, the fresh sugarcane with urea compared to bagasse treated with calcium oxide and ammoniated bagasse was found to be the better alternative feed for use in lamb diets.
