| Descripción: | Availability of biomass and eating habits of sheep in a silvopastoral system. The effect of grazing on the availability, biomass quality and feeding behavior of sheep in a silvopastoral system of star grass (Cynodon nlemfuensis), tulip (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) and leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala), was evaluated at 50, 60 and 70 days in rainy, dry and northern season. For each treatment, 2 plots of 8x24 m and 6 adult pelibuey ewes were used. The availability of biomass in leucaena and tulip was evaluated by total harvest of 20 to 40 plants per treatment. Star grass was measured before and after grazing. The 3 species were separated into morphological components, and crude protein and neutral detergent fiber were determined in leaves. Sheep habits were determined by direct observation. The availability of total biomass, consumption per group and use of star grass were higher at 70 days and in rainy season. The highest leaf ratio |
