Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of using the leaf blades tropical grasses of Paspalum spp. for animal consumption by means of morphological and physiological charac? teristics, quantitative anatomy and chemical characteristics. The experiment was conducted from August 2009 to June 2010, in the municipality of Dourados/MS. We evaluated eight Paspalum spp. species and the seeds were provided by Embrapa Pecuária Sudeste. The experimental design was a randomized block design with four replications. The means of the features were grouped by the Scott?Knott test. We observed genotypes with potential for foraging. Paspalum malacophyllum stood out the by morpho?physiological, chemical and anatomical characteristics. For the anatomical features with higher quality tissue proportions, the Paspalum glaucescens stood out, with high proportions of mesophyll and paren? chyma bundle sheath. Anatomical reviews of leaf blade Paspalum spp. indicated significant differencesamong genotypes in proportion and tissue composition.
