Abstract
ABSTRACT To verify if strategies to reduce the height of Marandu grass pasture at beginning of the deferral period change intake and metabolic parameters in sheep during the dry season, 18 crossbred females, ½ Dorper + ½ Santa Inês were used, distributed in 9 Marandu grass paddock handles to 3 drawdown strategies at the beginning of deferral period: 1) maintenance of grass with 15cm for 5 months before deferral start (15/15cm); 2) maintenance of marandu grass with 25 cm for 5 months, but at the beginning of deferral it was reduced to 15cm (25/15cm); 3) maintenance of 35 cm grass for 5 months, but at the beginning of deferral it was reduced to 15cm (35/15cm). The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD), with 6 repetitions and repeated measures over time. Strategies to reduce the height of Marandu grass pasture, at the beginning of the deferral period, do not change nutrient intake and energy and protein metabolism. However, changes occurring in the pasture during the dry season alter these variables, and deferral is an interesting strategy to be used for forage production in winter, however, to optimize its use, it is necessary to use supplementation with concentrated rich in fermentable carbohydrates.
