| Summary: | Livestock farming in Colombia contributes 1.6% to the GDP, but it is also classified as a source of greenhouse gases, a water pollutant, and a cause of biodiversity loss. This information contrasts with research indicating that herbivores are the main activators of the soil, favoring the natural cycles of carbon, nitrogen, water, ethylene, and the activity of microorganisms. Therefore, within the coevolution of ecosystems, they play a regenerative role. For this reason, the experience of implementing ultra-high-density grazing (UHD) and regenerative practices at the UFPSO experimental farm will be analyzed. Its application increased biomass production in the grazing areas, with grazing efficiencies of 78.53%, increasing the average grass height from 0.59 m to 0.95 m, reducing the rest period of the pasture from 60 to 45 days, improving manure disposal, and significantly increasing pasture capacity. Therefore, PUAD and regenerative practices are the appropriate way to manage grasslands, reducing pollution and deterioration, making them more productive. |
