Short Communication: Performance of steers fed on pasture receiving different seeding rates of vetch in an integrated crop-livestock system
Aim of study: To evaluate the performance of beef calves fed black oat and Italian ryegrass pasture seeded with several different seeding rates (SR) of common vetch in a crop-livestock integrated system. Area of study: The experiment was carried out in Dois Vizinhos city, Paraná, Brazil. Material an...
