Qualidade nutricional da aveia sob corte, pastejo e feno com diferentes alturas de manejo

Abstract

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate ways to use of oat hay, grazing and cutting. The first test evaluated the structural characteristics, chemical composition and digestibility in vitro dry matter (DM) and crude protein (DIVPB) of oat (Avena sativa IPR 126), under different management systems: grazing, cutting and free growth in two heights: 15 and 20 cm in three periods (July, August and September) with a mean interval of 25 days. In the management free growth, the samples were removed at the same intervals and cutting grazing and the same heights (15 and 20 cm). The design was a block design in a 3x2x3 factorial with three tillage systems, two heights and third assessment periods, with three replications. The results show that the dry matter production, production of straw, canopy height and apical meristem height was greater when the oats were not subjected to no management. On the same system on crude protein was higher in the first and cutting the fibrous fractions NDF, ADF, hemicellulose and lignin increased in the third cut. In cutting and grazing managements showed no difference in production dry matter and reduction in production from first to second period and those for the third. The same was true for straw production. The system cutting promoted greater number of tillers and apical meristem increased with the cuts in all managements. The heights of little influence on management characteristics evaluated. The second experiment was conducted with the objective to evaluate structural and productive, straw production residual rates of dehydration, chemical composition and occurrence of fungi in fresh forage and hay with oats made black and white under two cutting heights. The experimental design was a randomized block factorial 2x2 (two species of oats and two cutting heights: 10 and 20 cm) with five replications. The cut was done with mower-conditioner beaters with fingers free. The crude protein values were higher in oat only to be cut (14.15%). The oat showed nutritionally inferior to oat with higher levels of ADF and lignin. There was no effect of cutting height on the composition chemical, but this has interfered in the production of dry matter and the residue after cutting, with higher production with the cut to 10 cm (P <0.05) and increased production of waste in the cut to 20 cm (p<0.05). The oat white promotes hay with better nutritional quality and cutting heights interfere directly on dry matter yield and residue left after harvest
