Beef cattle behavior in integrated crop-livestock systems [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2022 ABSTRACT: Temperament often depends on the animals’ reaction to people, social and environmental conditions. However, little is known about the influence of changes in the pasture environment on cattle temperament. Thus, this study was designed to evaluate if an animals’ temperament changes in response to being kept in a silvopastoral system.

Increasing Dairy Sustainability with Integrated Crop–Livestock Farming [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 Dairy farms are predominantly carbon sources, due to high livestock emissions from enteric fermentation and manure. Integrated crop–livestock systems (ICLSs) have the potential to offset these greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as recycling products within the farm boundaries is prioritized.

Crop–livestock integration beyond the farm level: a review [PDF]
Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2016 Paradoxically, the number of crop–livestock farms is declining across Europe, despite the fact that crop-livestock farms are theoretically optimal to improve the sustainability of agriculture. To solve this issue, crop–livestock integration may be organized beyond the farm level.
