No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01 The objective of this study was to evaluate the grazing of goats in a grass monoculture system and in intercropping systems of grass + legumes. A randomized block design was adopted, with the treatments arranged in a split-plots scheme. The plots consisted of three cropping systems: monoculture-Andropogon gayanus cv. Planaltina; mixture I-A. gayanus cv. Planaltina +Stylosanthes cv. Campo Grande; and mixture II-A. gayanus cv. Planaltina +Calopogonium mucunoides. The subplots consisted of two grazing cycles. The highest (P=0.04) total forage mass (TFM) was recorded in the mixture I (A. gayanus cv. Planaltina+Stylosanthes. cv. Campo Grande), which was 2.6 +/- 0.1 tons DM/ha. The crude protein (CP) was lower in the monoculture which also showed the highest content of neutral detergent fiber (NDF). The grazing time in the monoculture was the longest (8.23 +/- 1.14 h). The goats used a longer time for rumination (P
