Physical properties and particle-size fractions of soil organic matter in crop-livestock integration
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2012 Crop-livestock integration represents an interesting alternative of soil management, especially in regions where the maintenance of cover crops in no-tillage systems is difficult.

Trajectories of crop–livestock integration in the context of specialization in Northwest Vietnam [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2023 Mixed crop–livestock systems, the world's most widespread farming systems, promote farm resilience through diversification and allow for crop–livestock integration (CLI). Intensification and specialization challenge these systems. In Northwest Vietnam,

Commercial integrated crop-livestock systems achieve comparable crop yields to specialized production systems: A meta-analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Production systems that feature temporal and spatial integration of crop and livestock enterprises, also known as integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS), have the potential to intensify production on cultivated lands and foster resilience to the ...

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF CROP-LIVESTOCK FARMS IN AFRICA [PDF]
Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2021 Crop-livestock farms across Africa are highly variable due to in agroecological and socioeconomic factors, the latter shaping the demand and supply of livestock products. Crop-livestock farms in Africa in the 20-first century are very different from most

Grazing of cover crops in integrated crop-livestock systems
Animal, 2021 Conventional agriculture is specializing rapidly into the management of few monoculture crops, threatening crop diversity and questioning the sustainability of extensive cropping systems. The grazing of cover crops in integrated crop-livestock systems could be a feasible biologically based technology to restore crop diversity and mitigate ecological ...

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.
