There are many people who know something about ruminant animal agriculture and the essential role it plays in meeting the needs of today’s world and the world of 2050. Their expertise may be in some aspect of soil, plant, animal or human health. Or it may be in topics related to environmental stewardship, public policy, or sustainable development. The Ruminati is my attempt to assemble them and introduce them to each other. The goal of this sodcast (see what I did there?) is to make their information more widely known. Welcome to the herd!

Pedro is currently working in the Department of Forage Plants and Agrometeorology, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil. He grew up on a cattle and sheep ranch in the natural grassland ecosystem (Pampa) in southern Brazil.
His research has examined the effects of different grazing intensities and stocking rate on pastoral ecosystems, focusing on details of grazing cattle within integrated crop-livestock systems, particularly soybean-beef cattle systems typical of southern Brazil. As the leader of a long-term experiment started in 2001, he studied the effect of different grazing intensities by beef steers on mixed Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) and black oat (Avena strigosa) pastures during the winter period, evaluating forage and animal responses to different defoliation intensities, and the subsequent effects on soybean yields.
