Abstract:Animal supplementation and grass-legume mixture can increase the stocking rate and crop and animal waste in the soil. Our hypothesis is that these alternatives can increase the amount of nitrogen recycled in an integrated crop-livestock system. We analyzed in an integrated croplivestock system, whether the nitrogen recycling and the soybean crops are influenced by legume and animal supplementation (1% live weight) in beef cattle production. We evaluated animal nitrogen intake, the recycled through feces and u… Show more
