Production and quality of Urochloa brizantha pastures grazed under continuous stocking in integrated crop-livestock-forest systems.

Season may change pasture responses even in innovative, sustainable crop-livestock-forest (ICLF) systems. The objective of this work was to evaluate production and quality of Urochloa brizanta cv. Piatã pastures grazed by buffaloes under continuous stocking in open pasture system (OP), ICLF with African mahogany (Khaya ivorensis) (ICLF-M) and ICLF system with teak (Tectona grandis) (ICLF-T) in the dry and rainy seasons. Forage mass was lower in the ICLF systems than in the OP system in the dry season. In contrast, ICLF-T system produced forage with higher crude protein content in this season. In the rainy season, no difference between systems was observed. ICLF systems may be less productive in forage than the OP system in the dry season. However, they can deliver forage with higher crude protein content in this season depending on the tree species.
