Brazil's beef cattle production sector is largely responsible for economic growth and makes the country the largest beef exporter globally. However, high productivity can have detrimental environmental impacts such as the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Fundamentally, the core goal for the country is to supply the world demand for animal protein without disregarding sustainability, fo…
Brazil has one of the largest pasture areas on the planet, most of them at some stage of degradation leading to biodiversity loss and causing environmental impacts. Increasing biodiversity through the use of more than 2 species (grass and fodder) can lead to increased yield, improved soil structure and fertility, the nutritional value of the forage, changing the diversity and abundance of…
During the visit, the data from the thematic project "Management strategies to reduce environmental impacts in beef cattle production systems" and original theses and dissertations will be analyzed and discussed. The evaluated treatments were: four levels of nitrogen fertilization (0, 90, 180 and 270 kg ha-1 year-1) divided in three applications during the rainy season. During the visit w…
Brazil has a huge herd of goats, sheep and horses and currently the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) is estimated through default emission factors of the intergovernmental panel for climate change (IPCC). Similarly, the impact of excreta characteristics and effects of key variables on GHG production was little studied in tropical grasslands. The objective of this project is to quantify …
This project aims to evaluate the efficiency of N fertilization and use of strategic supplementation on productivity, economic efficiency and environmental impacts of pasture based meat production systems. The project will last for five years and will be divided into two experiments. The experiments I and II will be conducted on Brachiaria brizantha cv. marandu pastures grazed by cattle u…

The purpose of the internship abroad with Prof. Dr. José Carlos Batista Dubeux Junior, at the University of Florida, North Florida Research and Education Center (NFREC) is to improve knowledge in the area of nutrient dynamics and performance of forages in grassland systems. During the internship, we will discuss methodologies and will analyze the results obtained in the trial. The major g…
The fifth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirms once again that in the present state of knowledge it is clear that climate changes have occurred in different parts of the planet. Brazil largely contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Among these gases is nitrous oxide (N2O), which weight in Brazil's greenhouse gas balance is increasing. Und…
Grassland accounts for 25% of earth's surface and contains approximate-ly 12% of the earth's soil organic matter. It has been estimated that between 29.5 and 110 Tg C can be annually sequestered in grassland systems in the USA. Improved management can further expand grassland mitigation potential by 2 to 8 percent by 2020 while improving the resilience of ecosystems to impacts of climate…
