An experiment was carried out to determine net microbial protein supply to ruminants from 15 tropical feeds. The study was done at Lyamungo research institute, on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania in 1993. Twenty Bos Taurus Bos Indicus bulls were used in three periods in a completely randomised design. The initial 19 days of each period were for adaptation by the bulls to their new enviro...

In Brazil, livestock activity is affected by the seasonality of forage supply, which depends on distribution rainfall. The use silage one strategies to solve problem during annual dry season. objective this study was modeling assess productivity and quality maize in state Minas Gerais, Brazil. CSM-CERES-Maize model used simulate production 18 counties, at 52 sowing dates distributed throughout ...

ABSTRACT In the intercropping of maize with Megathyrsus maximus, application herbicides is a technique that can be used to reduce competition between intercrops. This study aimed evaluate effect different glyphosate doses on suppressing growth maximus cv. BRS Quênia intercropped maize, as well in weed control. The randomized block experimental design was and conducted field. treatments consiste...

The application of fertilizers as a topdressing in maize raises serious concerns because too much fertilizer is retained the upper leaves, causing burning to tissues. In this study, use controlled-release and stabilized (with 3, 4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate) was compared with conventional split into two equivalent applications forage maize-oats cropping system. maize, 100 200 kg N ha−1 differen...

Maize silage is a forage of high quality and yield, and represents the second 30 most important use of maize in the U.S. The Wisconsin Quality Synthetic (WQS) maize 31 population has undergone five cycles of recurrent selection for silage yield and 32 composition resulting in a genetically improved population. The application of high-33 density molecular markers allows breeders and geneticists ...
