Large amounts of poultry agroindustry residues are produced in areas near the breeding grounds, and often these residues are used as a source of fertilization in pastures, which may affect the chemical and physical attributes of the soil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of continuous application over time (up to eight years) of turkey manure on the chemical and physical attributes of an Oxisol under rotational grazing. The experimental area was divided into 16 plots of 0.5 ha each, and cultivated with Uroclhoa decumbens in rotational grazing system. Treatments were given by accumulated doses of turkey manure, with annual applications from 2008 to 2015, as follows: control, 35.29; 51.79 and 66.24 Mg ha-1. Continued use of turkey manure for at least 5 years (35.29 Mg ha-1) promoted increases in phosphorus, potassium and base saturation, as well as reducing acidity and aluminum saturation. Changes in soil organic matter, however, were found only after 8 years (66.24 Mg ha-1) of continuous use of turkey manure. There was little effect of turkey manure use on Ca:Mg ratio and also on soil physical attributes, except for macroporosity in the superficial layer, which was higher in intermediate doses of turkey manure.
