Resumen

  • Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the influence of restricted grazing of the legume tree Gliricidia sepium on live weight (LW) gain of growing cattle in Star grass pastures. Three treatments were evaluated in Experiment 1 using 18 animals of 176 kg initial LW with a completely randomized design: (0) grazing pasture alone, (C) pasture plus 1 kg/day of concentrate (16.6 % N x 6.25) and (G) pasture plus restricted grazing for 2 hours/day of Gliricidia (18.9-23.5 % N x 6.25)..
