Pasture production, diet selection and liveweight gains of cattle grazing Brachiaria brizantha with or without Arachis pintoi at two stocking rates in the Atlantic zone of Costa Rica
Pastures of Brachiaria brizantha (Bb) alone or with Arachis pintoi (Bb + Ap) were rotationally grazed by 3 (LSR) and 6 (HSR) hd/ha. Mean 4-weekly forage DM on offer ranged from 3.5 t/ha at the HSR for Bb to 6 t/ha at the LSR for both pasture types. Mean dry weight proportion of Ap was 6% at the LSR...
