Description
Natalia Avila Soares led a 2026 grazing trial comparing two Urochloa pastures for crossbred Holstein and Gyr dairy cows under rotational grazing in rainy seasons. One pasture used Paiaguás grass and the other used the hybrid Ipyporã, each grazed down by half from a set starting height.
Paiaguás produced more herbage overall and carried more animals per hectare. Ipyporã offered a higher share of leaf and denser herbage. Milk output per hectare did not differ between the two swards. Intake differed only in one phase, favouring Ipyporã. The authors conclude that both cultivars can sustain good production when grazing heights are matched to each grass.
