Abstract:
has been indicated in pastures with large animal production systems. This forage is
adopted mainly in dairy cattle areas. Its persistence is an average of six years with
animal production of 15 @/ha/year. The objective of this study is to investigate the
productivity of this forage when subjected to cutting heights in different phosphorus
fertilizations. An integrative literature review was adopted in the Scientific Electronic
Library Online (SciELO), ScienceDirect, US National Library of Medicine National
Institutes of Health (Pubmed) and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health
Sciences (LILACS) databases in publications from the last 10 years. The results indicate
that the production of mombaça grass has contributed to significant amounts in the
production and quality of milk and meat, average values that revolve around 15
arrobas per hectare year, adding up to average gains of 700kg of meat per animal
divided per hectare in the year.
