The aciculated dry branches of Araucaria angustifolia, which fall throughout the year by the natural pruning of the species, can be a renewable and sustainable alternative for energy generation and income for rural producers inserted in the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest. This research aimed...
The aims of the current study are to assess the performance of genetic materials of eucalyptus trees planted in different arrangements, to measure the stock of forest multiproducts and to investigate the financial viability of these plantations in silvopastoral systems in Bagé (RS)....
In the tropical region central of Minas Gerais State, integrated crop-livestock systems are characterized by annual rotation or succession of crops and pastures in a no-till system in which the pasture is used to produce either milk or meat. In this paper the system focus ...
The Low Carbon Brazilian Beef (LCBB) concept brand seeks to value livestock systems that do not include the forest component but hold the potential to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, by adopting conservationist production criteria and concepts. At present, there is no commercia...
Abstract This work's objective was to evaluate the taper estimates obtained from the mixed-effect modeling function and verify the effect of planting spacing and arrangement forthe eucalyptus tree stem form in a Crop-Livestock-Forest integration system (iCLF). Data wasgathered from an experim...
The animal performance on pasture is directly correlated to canopy structure since this influences the herbage consumption. This study was evaluated the effects of four pre-grazing canopy heights (12, 20, 28 and 36 cm) of Andropogon lateralis Ness on herbage intake and feeding beha...
Hairy fleabane (Conyza bonariensis L.) is a major weed of the conventional crop systems. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to assess the responses of glyphosate-susceptible (S) and -resistant (R) C. bonariensis at various developmental stages and evaluate the physiological&...
Para aumentar a produtividade em sistemas de produção de animais a pasto, com baixo custo e sem degradação do ambiente, é necessário ajustar a lotação animal â disponibilidade de alimento. Convencionalmente, o ajuste de lotação é realizado com base na taxa de acúmulo do períod...
Ticks cause substantial production losses for beef and dairy cattle. Cattle resistance to ticks is one of the most important factors affecting tick control, but largely neglected due to the challenge of phenotyping. In this study, we evaluate the pooling of tick resistance phenotyp...
Background: Genetic Improvement Programs (GIP) aim to enhance productionefficiency of beef cattle. The main way to guide this enhancement is by choosing thebest mates among sires and cows, in order to maximize the offspring GeneticQualification Index (QGI), which is measured by an index...
