rumiNews On Air: Nutrient Return to Soil During Grazing with Bernat Perramon

In this episode of rumiNews On Air, we explore the key role of ruminants in the nutrient cycle with Bernat Perramon, Agricultural Engineer and Doctor in Agri-Food Engineering.

Based on the findings of the RESOL project, we analyze how grazing influences soil fertility and the reduction of synthetic fertilizer use.

More than 60% of the minerals ingested by ruminants are returned to the soil through feces and urine. However, their utilization depends on proper management.

Perramon explains how practices like rotational grazing can optimize nutrient distribution and minimize losses through volatilization and leaching.

What strategies can improve the sustainability of the system? How does livestock location influence the soil nutrient balance?

In this episode, we discover the impact of grazing on soil fertility and how its management can be a key tool for sustainable production. Don’t miss it!
