Biological Nitrogen Fixation and Cattle Production in Tropical Environments

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a critical process for maintaining soil fertility and promoting healthy soil microbiology. In tropical pastures, BNF plays a key role in influencing protein intake during grazing. To understand the importance of nitrogen-fixing bacteria to cattle production, we...

description Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a critical process for maintaining soil fertility and promoting healthy soil microbiology. In tropical pastures, BNF plays a key role in influencing protein intake during grazing. To understand the importance of nitrogen-fixing bacteria to cattle production, we conducted a thorough review of several documents. Our goal was to explore the relationship between these bacteria, nitrogen, crop and livestock production, and their ecological significance. We consulted 679 documents from different search platforms, using 12 different search equations or keyword combinations. From these, we selected 86 documents, including 37 research articles, 26 review articles, 18 theses, and 5 academic books. We have clearly organized the information to demonstrate the importance of bacteria in nitrogen utilization in pastures.

La fijación biológica de nitrógeno (FBN) es un proceso importante para la fertilidad del suelo y su microbiología. En pasturas tropicales influye en el consumo de proteína durante el proceso de pastoreo. Teniendo en cuenta esta condición, se llevó a cabo una revisión de diferentes documentos con el objeto de exponer la importancia de las bacterias fijadoras de nitrógeno como microorganismos valiosos para la producción bovina y presentar información inherente a la relación entre estas, el nitrógeno, la producción vegetal y animal, así como su importancia ecológica. Se consultaron 679 documentos obtenidos de diferentes plataformas de búsqueda, que se adquirieron mediante 12 ecuaciones de exploración o combinaciones de palabras clave, seleccionando 86 documentos, de los cuales 37 fueron artículos de investigación, 26 artículos de revisión, 18 tesis y 5 libros académicos, cuya información se organizó de forma clara con el fin de evidenciar la importancia que tienen las bacterias en el aprovechamiento del nitrógeno en pasturas.
