Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de verificar a resposta de uma pastagem natural na Depressão Central do Rio Grande do Sul à adubação com chorume suíno nas doses de 0, 15, 30 e 45 m³/ha, equivalentes a 76,8; 153,7 e 230,5 kg N/ha/corte depois de cada um dos quatro cortes, realizados no período de outubro de 2003 e fevereiro de 2004, totalizando 0, 60, 120 e 180 m³/ha de chorume. A massa seca (MS) da pastagem aumentou de forma linear de acordo com as doses de chorume. Na pastagem testemunha, com aplicação de 45 m³/ha/corte, houve aumento de 108% na produção de MS (1.137 kg/ha/corte; 4.549 kg/ha no total dos cortes) e de 42% na altura da pastagem (21 cm) e redução de 8% no conteúdo de fibra em detergente ácido (FDA) (41,8%). A eficiência da aplicação do chorume foi, em média, de 16,9 kg MS/m³/corte. Com as aplicações do fertilizante, verificou-se aumento na concentração de nutrientes no solo (máximo: K = 200 mg/L; P = 52 mg/L; Ca = 1,8 cmol c/dm-3; Mg = 1,4 cmol c/dm-3). A dose de 30 m³/ha/corte pode ser um valor-referência para as pastagens naturais na primavera-verão.The work had the objective to verify the response of a natural pasture, in the "Depressão Central of Rio Grande do Sul", Brazil, to pig slurry fertilization, in the doses of 0, 15, 30 and 45 m³/ha, equivalent to total application of 0, 76.5, 153.3, and 230.5 kg N/ha/cutting of N after each one of the four cuttings, between October/03 and February/04, totalizing 0, 60, 120, and 180 m³/ha of slurry. There was a linear increase of dry matter (DM) as function of pig slurry application. Compared to the control treatment, application of 45 m³/ha/cutting resulted in: a) 108% increase in the DM production (1.137 kg/ha/cutting; 4.549 kg/ha in total of the cuttings) and 42% in the pasture height (21 cm); b) 8% decrease in the ADF concentration (41.8%). The pig slurry application efficiency was, on average, 16.9 kg DM/m³/cutting. There was addition of soil chemical elements with fertilizer application, reaching a maximum of K = 200 mg/L; P= 52 mg/L; Ca = 1,8 cmol c/dm-3; Mg = 1,4 cmol c/dm. The 30 m³/ha/cutting can be a reference-value for the natural pasture in the spring-summer.
