Abstract In Silvopastoral Systems (SPS) the dynamics and complexity of the combination
between grasses and legume trees can significantly impact forage intake and digestibility,
affecting livestock performance. This research was composed of two parallel studies. The
first one consisted of a field trial assessing three grazing systems: signalgrass (Urochloa
decumbens Stapf.) monoculture, and two SPS, one composed of signalgrass+ gliricidia
[Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth.], and another by signalgrass+ mimosa (Mimosa …
