Abstract:Planned silvopastoral systems can improve the productivity of pastoral livestock. The objective was to analyze characteristics of the forage plant canopy of three types of areas for sheep grazing: silvopastoral system Leucaena leucocephala-Megathyrsus maximus var. Mombasa at two densities of L.leucocephala and natural field in a low deciduous forest environment. The densities of L. leucocephala were 4700 and 2383 plant plants/ha. The variables were: amounts of forage offered (FO) and rejected (FR), daily forag… Show more
