Popis: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether botanical, morphological and nutritional compositions of the herbage ingested by the cows are affected by age of pastures and grazing system. Mixed sequential grazing of dairy Holstein cows with Pelibuey breeding ewes as followers (MixG) and single species cow grazing (CowG) were the systems evaluated. Animals grazed on pastures of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata L.) in their first and second year (young) or third to fifth year (mature). During spring–summer, the proportion of alfalfa in herbage ingested by the cows was 20% higher (P
