“…Another option as a promising forage legume is M. axillare that was originally from tropical Africa (Bogdan, 1977) and it was introduced in Brazil in the middle of the 60's when a collection was sent to the Instituto de Zootecnia (Rocha, 1988;Paulino et al, 2008). It is a perennial plant, herbaceous, climber, voluble with branches finely pubescent and trifoliate leaves (Bufarah et al, 1981).…”

. In this context, the introduction of forage legumes in the pasture system is fundamental to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and supply it to grasses, increasing its production and persistence, enhancing animal nutrition as it grazes, at the same time. Still, the use of plant mixes in the system brings further benefits to it, such as better utilization of fertilizers as well as enhances the nutrient cycle and soil coverage. However, there are still many gaps in our knowledge regarding intercropping legumes and grasses, especially the use of tropical legumes. The purpose of this review is compiles data about forage legumes as well as analyses them to find new tendencies and gaps on the knowledge to shed some lights on researches in this area. We also expect that this review will help researchers and producers to understand the role of forage legumes in a pasture system and that there will be an increase in its utilization worldwide, especially in the tropics, where nitrogen is easily leached and lost from the pastures. With emphasis on description of promising tropical legumes but still little used Arachis pintoi, Macrotyloma and Neonotonia whightii.

During the twentieth century, Brazil developed its beef industry, acquiring in the last decade great importance in the international market. This article considers four exotic factors that contributed to its moving from importer of beef to the largest exporter: the raising of cattle of Iberian origin, since the sixteenth century; the Zebu breed brought from India at the end of the nineteenth century; the grass brought from Africa, for the cattle to graze; and barbed wire, invented in the United States, which deepened land concentration in the country. Each factor has distinct geographical origins, but all acted together, like the four ‘legs’ that sustain this immense bovine, to enable its adaptation to Brazilian lands. These four factors, before obtaining success and hegemony, encountered resistance and created controversy, not only for ideological and technical reasons, but also the conflicts of interest that their arrival represented.
