Abstract

The pasture areas are responsible for approximately 2/3 of the national herd accommodation; the search for the optimal use of these areas is required due to limited opening of new areas for farming and ranching in the country. The maintenance and / or improvement of the physico-chemical characteristics of the soil, and also the microbial activity has been studied and enhanced to maximize the performances of favorable forage for animal consumption. Innovations for methods of fertilizer application, cropping strategies and use of waste other activities have been focused by many researchers in the country. This review addresses the main strategies of fertilizer that has been incorporated into animal production systems, emphasizing the need to disseminate these strategies for the Brazilian cattle livestock becomes more competitive.
