The experiment was carried out in the advanced field of the Forage Research Sector - NPF (www.npf.ufc.br) located in the Experimental Farm of the Vale do Curu - FEVC, belonging to Federal University of Ceará - UFC. The objective was evaluate the chemical composition and the carbohydrate fractionation of Panicum maximum cv. Tanzânia biomass under three rest periods (RPs) based in the new leaf (L) number expanded for tiller (1.5; 2.5 and 3.5L). Was used the completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement 3x3 (3 fractions and 3 RPs). The harvest of the samples was made before the entrance and after the exit the animals the poles. Later, the samples had been separate in the fractions leaf, culm and death material, being droughts in greenhouse of forced ventilation 65° C for 72 hours, and processed. In the Laboratory of Animal Nutrition of the Animal Science Department of UFC (LNA/DZ/UFC), were determined the levels of Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), Hemi-cellulose (HC), Cellulose (CEL), Lignin (LIG), Etereal Extract (EE), Crude Protein (PB), Insoluble Nitrogen in Neutral Detergent (INND), Insoluble Nitrogen in Acid Detergent (INAD), Total Total Carbohydrates (TC), Non Fiber Carbohydrates (NFC), and of the fractions that compose the TC: A+B1, B2 and C. The levels of NDF and ADF had been raised (P<0.05) with the advance of the RPs. The entire plant (EP) of the grass under bigger RP (3.5L), in the before grazing, presented levels, respectively, of 74.0 and 46.3% being these raising for 77,3 and 50,9% after grazing. The levels of LIG of leaf fraction of the grass under RP 3.5L (4.2%) had suffered rises (P<0.05) after grazing. The LIG levels in the RP were higher (P<0.05) in those submitted to 3.5L RP in comparison to the EPs of the 1.5L RP in such a way in before grazing (4.7 and 5.3%) how much after grazing (4.7 and 5.3%). The biggest levels of PB of the leaf fraction had been found in the grass under 1.5L RP (10,86 and 8.59%), before grazing and after grazing. The levels of CP in the entire plant had varied of 8.8 6.4% (P<0.05) and 6.16 and 4.4% (P<0.05) between 3.5 and 1.5L RPs, respectively before and after grazing. The INAD levels, had been also raised (P<0.05) in the EP of 3.5L RP (20.3 and 28.5%), respectively before and after grazing. The levels of TC of the leaf fraction and the EP had presented average levels (P>0.05) of 75.4 and 77.4% before grazing and 79.2 and 89.2% after grazing. The C carbohydrates fraction presented average between 11.4 11.9%, in the leaf fraction, whereas in the EP of the grass under 3.5L RP, had been observed biggest levels (P<0.05) of this fraction (14.3 and 15.7), in both cases when observed before grazing and pos-grazing. The Tanzânia grass under 1.5L RP presented the best chemical composition of that they had been evaluated. However, it is necessary that information on the chemical composition of the grass are taken in consideration in set with the occured changes in the structure of the grass so that if can have a bigger exactness in the evaluation of the quality of the grass.
