The Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration (ILPF) is a soil management that, if conducted with the recommended technical and agronomic principles, allows the maximization of productivity leveraged by sustainability. The chemical, physical and biological attributes of the soil should be evaluated, based on soil and water management and conservation needs, as well as the requirements of the most demanding components of the ILPF. The objective of this work was to evaluate the resistance to soil penetration in a pasture area and another with a conventional system. For this, the PenetroLOG Falker model was used. The experiment was conducted in one of the pastures belonging to UniRV on goat grazing. In this area, degraded pasture systems were implemented with crop-livestock-forest integration (ILPF). The leucena was aligned with 3 meters between plants, 20 meters between rows. Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala), a plant native to Central America, is a perennial, palatable legume with great utility in the feeding of pigs, cattle and goats, and resistance to drought. Soil compaction by trampling of goats in a grazing area with a conventional area in the ILPF showed levels of similar compaction, being detrimental to pasture and tree development.
