Stocking density determines nitrogen distribution in a farming production that combines free-range pigs and energy crops

Free-range pig farming is typically associated with a high risk of nitrogen leaching as the pigs’ excrement help create nitrogen’s hotspots. In addition, the pigs’ rooting behaviors destroy the grass-covered soil. The following study, which was published in the journal Agroforestry Systems, aimed to determine the role of stocking density in determining nitrogen distribution and balance in […]
