This study aimed to evaluate the forage mass, sward structure and nutritive value of Urochloa brizantha cv Marandu submitted to differents grazing heights and sources of energy in supplements, to evaluate animal and area production during rainy season and wet-to-dry transition phase. In rainy season was studied three sward height (15, 25 and 35 cm) and three supplements: mineral salt and two protein-energetic supplements with corn or citrus pulp as energy sources, supplied 0.3 % BW per day. To evaluate the nutritional parameters were used nine Nellore steers (310 ± 30 kg of BW) fitted with ruminal cannulas allocated in three 3 × 3 Latin square designs, 3 experimental periods and nine treatments in a 3 × 3 factorial arrangement. To evaluate the productive parameters were used 108 young nellore bulls. The experimental design was completely randomized with two replications (padock) and time repeated measures during the January to April 2011 period. Herbage mass, herbage allowance, dry matter intake, area and animal weight gains increased with sward height (P<0.001). The ruminal ammonia increased linearly (p <0.05) with the reduction of sward height. Were significant effect of supplements with higher microbial protein synthesis (p <0.05) in animals supplemented and the efficiency of microbial protein synthesis in animals supplemented with citrus pulp (p <0.05). Stocking rate and nutritive value of forage was greater in pasture with lower height. Animals supplemented with citrus pulp had higher dry matter and nutrients intake compared to animals that received mineral salt and did not affect the fiber in vivo digestibility. In the wet-to-dry season from May to August 2011 were evaluated historic management, (sward heights of 25 and 35 cm during the wet season), and two protein-energetic supplements with corn or citrus pulp as energy sources, supplied with 0.5 % BW per day. It was used three ...
