Uniformity of water distribution by a sprinkler irrigation system on a soccer field

Biosci. j. (Online); 38 (), 2022
Soccer field grass can be compared to highly sensitive crops regarding water deficit and must be irrigated throughout the year to provide decent conditions for use. For this, efficient irrigation systems are necessary to save water and energy, and this is possible, provided that they are evaluated. There...

How does the condition of the pasture in late winter influence the plant and animal responses in the subsequent seasons?

Biosci. j. (Online); 38 (), 2022
This study aimed to test the hypotheses: (i) the deferred pasture with lower height in late winter has greater herbage accumulation rate (HAR) and better structure, which facilitates the animal selective grazing during the subsequent spring and summer; (ii) the mowed of high pasture in late winter improv...

Grass pollen sensitization in dogs in Paraná, Brazil: comparison between percutaneous and intradermal testing

Canine atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory, genetic, pruritic and chronic dermatosis that affects between 10 and 30% of dogs and one of the most important allergens is grass pollen. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sensitization to grass pollen allergens in dogs with canine atopic dermati...

Optimization Tifton-85 grass cutting for productivity and nutrient value

Biosci. j. (Online); 37 (), 2021
The objective of this work was to determine the impact of cutting Tifton-85 grass at 14, 28, 42, 46, 70, and 80 days of regrowth on its production and nutritional characteristics during the rainy season. The study area of 238 m2 was divided into four sub-area, with 6 plots of 2 × 2 m spaced 1 m between ...

Aerobic stability of tifton 85 silage with and without pre-drying in the sun

Biosci. j. (Online); 37 (), 2021
The objective of this study was to evaluate pH, ammoniacal nitrogen, and aerobic stability of silage of Tifton 85 grass silage with two dry matter contents at different silos opening times. The experimental design was completely randomized, in a subdivided plots scheme, in which the silages constituted t...

Morphogenesis of Cynodon cultivars fertilized with nitrogen

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (2), 2020
Toevaluate the biomass flow of two cultivars of Cynodon (Tifton 85 grass and vaquero grass) fertilized with increasing levels of nitrogen (N) (control – without nitrogen; 200; 400 and 600 mg dm-3) under greenhouse conditions, this study was carried out, in a completely randomized design, w...

Metabolic dynamics of native lambs fed with Tifton 85 hay or Maniçoba hay associated with the spineless cactus

The objective of this study was to evaluate the metabolic response of native lambs fed Tifton 85 hay (Cynodon dactylon) or Maniçoba hay (Manihot pseudoglaziovii) associated with spineless cactus (Nopalea cochenillifera Salm Dyck). Sixteen Morada Nova lambs were used, with a mean initial weight of 19.36Â...

The sanitary quality of Tifton 85 bermudagrass and Wrangler grass hay stored under different environmental conditions

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (4), 2019
This study evaluated the variations in temperature and dry matter content in Tifton 85 bermudagrass and Wrangler grass hay stored under different environmental conditions. The fungal and mycotoxin populations in the hay production area were also evaluated. Fifty samples (30 hay b...

Intoxicação espontânea e experimental por tifton 68 (Cynodon nlemfuensis Vanderyst) em bovinos

Pesqui. vet. bras; 37 (5), 2017
Tifton 68 (Cynodon nlemfuensis Vanderyst) é uma gramínea cultivada na região sul do Brasil, responsável por manifestações clínicas superagudas de dispneia, dificuldade de deglutição, tremores musculares, timpanismo e decúbito em bovinos. A morte ocorre rapidamente após o início dos primeiros ...

Reproductive behavior of crossbred dairy cows grazing an intensive silvopastoral system under tropical dry forest conditions

It is widely accepted that selection for high milk yield in dairy cows has negatively affected their reproductive performance. After calving, dairy cows experience a nutritional imbalance due to an asynchrony in the occurrence of the lactation and dry matter intake peaks. In the tropics, this situation i...
