Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of agroforestry system on the feeding behavior of dairy cows in the Brazilian Amazon region. Nineteen cross breed dairy cows (14. 0± 3. 30 kg/d of milk yield and 450± 40. 1 kg body weight) were used. The following treatments were evaluated: A) animals were main-tained in opened pasture of Brachiaria brizantha during all the day; B) animals were kept in forage peanuts (Arachis pintoi) during the morning (between 07: 00 and 1200 h) and in muvuca, a type of agroforestry ar-rangement, afternoon (between 12: 00 and 23: 00 h); and C) animals were maintained in forage peanuts dur-ing the morning (between 07: 00 and 11: 00 h) and in opened pasture of Brachiaria brizantha during the afternoon (between 12: 00 and 23: 00 h). Behaviors of grazing, ruminating, and resting was monitored every ten minutes, and the hourly index was analyzed as repeated measures in a 3 × 3 latin square design study. Between 07: 00 and 09: 00 h, animals maintained in opened pasture showed higher grazing and lower rumi-nating index than those animals kept in forage peanuts. During the hottest period of the day, animals main-tained in opened pasture showed a higher grazing index. Animals of A and C treatments showed a higher grazing index than those of B treatment, between 15: 00 and 17: 00 h. Animals maintained in muvuca had increased grazing index, resulting in lower ruminating and resting, at the end of the day. As a whole, the agroforestry system stabilizes the grazing and ruminating index and increases the grazing index during the hottest period of the day.
