| 总结: | There is limited information on Deer production from
pasture in Malaysia, particularly on optimization of land for
maximum production. Setaria sphacelata variety splendida is a
tropical grass species which has been successfully established
in Malaysia as a fodder for cattle. However, optimum stocking
rates and grazing systems for Setaria sphacelata variety
splendida pasture for maximum productivity for beef cattle has
not been established.
The objective of this study was to determine the average
daily gain per animal and total gain per hectare for Kedah-
Kelantan cattle, the indigenous beef cattle in Malaysia. For
this purpose experiments were conducted to determine the dry matter yield, chemical composition and digestibility using the
nylon bag technique (Experiment I) and in vivo
digestibility o f a Setaria sphacelata variety splendida pasture
(Experiment II). Later experiment s examined the effects of
stocking rate, grazing system and urea-mollases supplementation
(Experiment III) and energy and/or mineral supplementation
(Experiment IV) on daily gain and total gain/ha of Kedah-Ke
lantan bull s grazed o n a Setaria sphacelata variety splendida
pasture . |
