Conteúdo:

Three systems of grazing (rotational with four, and ten paddocks and eletric fence) and two stocking rates (3.5 and 5.0 bulls/ha) were compared using 162 half-bred bulls grazing pangola grass pasture without irrigation and fertilized with 300, 100 and 85 kg/ha/year of N, P and K, respectively. Grazing system did not affect performance. Three was a depre-
ssion in daily gain per animal and an increase in beef production per hectare as stocking rate increased from 3.5 to 5.0 bulls/ha. Three was a marked seasonal growth related to rainfall and DM availability during the rainy season. It is proposed that the use of more than four paddocks is of little value in terms of performance while this would lead to an increased cost of grazing units. The use of high or low stocking rates depends on whether maximum individual performance or maximum beef production per hectare are to be achieved.
