A presença da assistência técnica gerencial nas propriedades leiteiras permite aevolução do desempenho econômico da propriedade e da cadeia produtiva como um todo, principalmente do manejo e da otimização na utilização de insumos, equipamentos e ferramentas. Em virtude disso, visando o conhe...

Introduction: Dairy cattle with poor temperament can cause several inconveniences during milking, leading to labor difficulties, increasing the risk of accidents with animals and workers, and compromising milk yield and quality. This study aimed to estimate variance components and genetic paramet...

The objective of this research was to carry out a survey of weeds in pastures in the Middle Valley of Paraíba do Sul, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, in order to subsidize weed management and pasture recovery. Weed identification and plant count were carried out in pas...

The aerial part distribution and arrangement can significantly affect the forage resource?s use, both for the leaves and seeds harvesting. This work aimed to verify the structure derived from different times of pasture use and the subsequent seeds production in a long-cycle ryegrass...

A produção brasileira de leite registrou um importante crescimento ao longo das últimas décadas, mas o País continua sendo um importador líquido. No mercado internacional, os tradicionais exportadores terão dificuldades para atender a demanda crescente de países asiáticos e africanos. Há esp...

The goal of this study was to verify the effect of heterogeneity of variance (HV) on milk production in up to 305 days of lactation (L305) of daughters of Girolando, Gir and Holstein sires, as well as in the genetic evaluation of these sires and their progenies. ...

The objective of this study was to assess behavior patterns in Brazilian farm milk prices. We employed a structural time series techniques model, the Unobserved Component Model (UCM), which is part of the family of State Space models, to assess the trend, seasonality, cyclical ...

To gain insights into the forage morphological and anatomical characteristics in a silvopastoral system (SPS) with Bolsa de Pastor (Zeyheria tuberculosa) and palisadegrass 'Marandu' (Urochloa brizantha) monoculture (MONO). The SPS was established through natural regeneration of the tree species.&#x...

Elephant grass plays important role in dairy cattle production and has received special attention due to its potential in bioenergy and phytoremediation, as well as to its medicinal properties. The aim was investigating the effects of thermotherapy and meristem culture on elephant grass...
