Graduated in Animal Science from Universidade Federal de Viçosa (1978), Master in Animal Science from Universidade Federal de Viçosa (1981) and Ph.D. in Animal Science from Universidade Federal de Viçosa (1989). Since 1982, teaches in the Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Jaboticabal Campus, in the Forage and Pasture area. In 1998, held the contest to Associate Professor in Forage and Pastures, at the Department of Animal Science. In the period 1998 to 2000, developed the training post doctoral program in Agronomy Department, University of Florida. In October 2008 he applied, and in January 2009 was appointed Full Professor in the area of Forage and Pastures, Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Jaboticabal Campus. Has experience in Animal Science with emphasis on production, evaluation of forage, mainly in the following subjects: Evaluation of winter forage species, forage conservation and supplementation of the diet of ruminants in pasture, evaluation of green gas emission. Fellow Productivity of Research of CNPq from 1989 to 2020. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This project aims to evaluate the effect of different sources of nitrogen fertilization and supplementation with energy sources, non-consumable by humans, associated or not with tannin in the breeding of pasture cattle on performance, metabolism, enteric methane emission, and greenhouse gas production in excretes (methane emission (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ammonia volatilization (NH3…
The challenge of intensifying Brazilian agriculture consists of maintaining ecosystem balance, increasing productivity, producing high-quality food in terms of nutrition and food security, and reducing deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, the objective of this proposal is to update and expand the Animal Nutrition Laboratory (LANA) at FCAV/UNESP Jaboticabal, through the acquis…
This project aims to evaluate the effect of different sources of nitrogen fertilization and supplementation with energy sources, non-consumable by humans, associated or not with tannin in the breeding of pasture cattle on performance, metabolism, enteric methane emission, and greenhouse gas production in excretes (methane emission (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ammonia volatilization (NH3…
Farming is one of the main greenhouse gas emitting agents, such as carbon (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Much of Brazil's contribution to CO2 emissions is due to the relatively recent change in land use and driven mainly by deforestation for land tenure through the burning and incorporation of soil material without nutrient replenishment into this system. Landowners use pasture as the che…
In study 1, corn hybrids will be harvested with approximately 28 and 35% dry matter (DM), using or not a grain breaker coupled to the forage harvester and later silage silage with application of L. buchneri bacteria in all the treatments. This study will evaluate two maturity stages, with or without the use of coupled grain breaker. In study 2, the maize will be harvested with approximate…
Pasture ecosystems are complex systems involving interactions in soil-plant-animal and atmosphere. Soil is the basis of the animal production system. The nutrients needed for plant growth are provided by soil and numerous gaseous exchanges between pasture soils occur such as the production of methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide. During the visit will discuss the results of 8 years o…

A recurring problem in pasture based livestock farming in Brazil is the presence ofvarious degraded pasture areas or those in some stage of degradation. To reverse this scenario,management strategies are needed to help recover these areas, such as pasture fertilization.Among the various essential nutrients, nitrogen (N) is one of the most required by forageplants, impacting the increase i…
Brazilian livestock plays a central role in beef production but still faces challenges related to productivity and sustainability, such as pasture degradation and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) may be an alternative to mitigate these issues. This study aims to investigate the effects of nitrogen fertilization combined with inoculation with Biopasto®…
The search for strategies that increase the quality and productivity of pastures in Brazil, being developed extensively, and still collaborate with the mitigation of climate change is crucial, highlighting the use of nitrogen fertilizers. However, the inadequate application of these fertilizers can result in ammonia (NH¿) volatilization, especially in periods of low precipitation, which c…

Beef livestock is an important activity for the Brazilian economy, being developed predominantly in pastures. Employing strategies to improve the use of forage produced in these areas is of great relevance. The energy supplementation of the diet of animals kept in tropical grass pastures during the rainy season makes it possible to improve animal performance and potentiate the use of fora…
The world demand for beef has been increasing. Brazil has the largest commercial cattle herd when compared to the rest of the countries. However, the production of cattle in the country depends on techniques that are often flawed from an environmental point of view. Inadequate management and pasture degradation levels in livestock systems lead to reduced productivity and higher greenhouse…

Pasture is a major feeding source for livestock production in Tennessee, thus, it is necessary to explore alternative forages to diversify livestock production. Annual Ryegrass is an alternative to produce forage, potentially increasing overall profitability compared to other forage systems. The N is the most limiting nutrient for plant growth worldwide, and mineral fertilization is a com…
The livestock sector is one of the main means of producing food for the world, but it is also a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Australian cattle production system is characterized by its low productivity and the fact that animals are raised on large areas of natural pasture. In this sense, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of abromoform a…
Due to the progressive population growth, the demand for food is becoming more and more necessary. At the same time, the intensification of livestock in sustainable scenarios requires the production of high quality meat, through nutritional strategies that reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases and, concomitantly, increase animal efficiency and productivity. Among the antibiotics used i…
