Brachiaria Mulato II (Amiran)

A proven alternative to increase meat and milk production. Mulato II is the most successful and planted Brachiaria hybrid worldwide.

BRACHIARIA HYBRID (CIAT 36087)

Mulato II grass is the newest alternative to improve productivity in semi-intensive meat and milk systems. Recommended for regions that have acid soils, medium and low fertility, prolonged periods of drought, high temperatures and high relative humidity and mainly where there is a risk of severe attacks of various species of spittlebugs.
It is an apomitic hybrid, which means that it is genetically stable, does not secrete from one budding to another, and therefore can last for many years.

Animal Production

Mulato II grass has excellent nutritional characteristics in terms of crude protein content and digestibility. Both parameters vary depending on the age of the grass and the time of the year, it usually has a protein potential between 14 and 22%, in addition to digestibility levels (in vitro) in regrowths from 25 to 35 days between 55% to 66%. This nutritional quality together with excellent dry matter production and palatability result in high milk and meat production.

MORE MILK AND MEAT PRODUCTION AS A RESULT

With Mulato II, milk production during the dry season rose by 11% and 23% during the rainy season.

Growth Type

It is a vigorous grass of semi-right growth, its leaves are wide, lanceolate and abundant. It has deep and branched roots that give it excellent resistance to drought. The tillers measure up to half a meter in diameter, therefore, with few plants excellent coverage of the meadow is achieved.

 MULATO II® Features

• More meat and milk for its nutritional quality
• Higher animal load
• Highly palatable
• Adaptation to acidic soils
• Resistant to diseases and pests (Spittlebugs)
• Increased drought tolerance
  

   Advantages

  This balanced mixture of Brachiaria hybrids produces results superior to those achieved with other grasses of the genus Brachiaria. Great forage production capacity of excellent quality, with the best protein concentration and high digestibility in pastures of the Brachiaria genus. Vigorous regrowth to cut or grazing.

  Management of high animal loads, with which the production of meat and milk per hectare increases significantly. More uniform forage production throughout the year.

  Good adaptation to adverse conditions, as well as to different types of climate and soil of the humid, sub humid and dry tropics, which allows greater forage availability in critical times (dry and northern winds).

  It brings the rusticity and tolerance to soils with a high concentration of aluminum inherited from Brachiaria decumbens, which is one of the ancestors of Mulato II. Being conditioned with high technology such as the pelletization process and the exclusive Speedygerm® method, the seed of this mixture of perennial, stable and synergistic hybrid grasses, reaches optimum levels of quality (purity and germination). Resistance to pests and diseases (spittlebugs).
