Forage legumes in pasture areas significantly contribute to the development of highly profitable and sustainable livestock farming. Through the symbiotic relationship between the legume and the Rhizobium bacteria, plants are able to capture atmospheric nitrogen and fix it in the soil in the form of nodules, subsequently enriching the pastures. Additionally, the ingestion of legume leaves enhances the nutritional quality of the animals due to their high protein content and greater digestibility.
Java
It is a legume recommended for low fertility soils. It has good adaptation/symbiosis with various types of soil *Rhizobium*, therefore high absorption of atmospheric nitrogen, and when ingested by cattle provides excellent nutritional quality feed (18 to 23% CP).
Arachis pintoi cv. Amarillo MG100
Peanut forage is recommended for intercropping with low-growing forages. It has good palatability and nutritional quality (15 to 22% CP).
