Description:	In northeastern Pará, smallholders often use cattle just as a financial instrument on their diversified farms: e.g. they buy cattle if cash flows in from crop harvest, and sell them if cash is needed for investment. Thus, animal production systems become dynamic, and inappropriate stocking rates lead to early pasture degradation. Further on, many promising woody tropical forage legume species show development problems if directly grazed on small-scale grasslegume pastures because management, for instance, has also to be adapted to grass availability. Thus, the legumes’ need for sufficient recuperation time is often neglected...
