Popis: Spontaneous plants occupy niches in pasture ecosystems and have potential as forage, an aspect that must be evaluated under the concepts of sustainability. The objective of this paper is to describe the bromatological composition of forage and spontaneous plants of pastures grown in a greenhouse at the Instituto de Zootecnia in Nova Odessa, São Paulo, Brazil. Five plant species were evaluated: signalgrass (Urochloa decumbens cv. Basilisk), macrotiloma (Macrotyloma axillare NO 279) and three spontaneous plants: hairy beggarticks (Bidens pilosa), arrowleaf sida (Sida rhombifolia) and slender amaranth (Amaranthus viridis), in two cuttings (C1 and C2) at two different moments in a randomized blocks design with four repetitions, totalling 40 experimental units (boxes filled with 35 kg of soil each). The concentrations of crude protein (CP), mineral matter (MM) and lignin (L) in the leaves were evaluated using PROC GLM SAS® and the Student test (P
