Mixed pastures and biological efficiency in buffalo production systems: determinants for a sustainable livestock by Juan Pablo Uzcátegui-Varela, Martha Gloribet Ceballos Ramírez

“…By bringing together the conclusive comments of each scientific instrument consulted, the current philosophy of sustainable development to establish sustainable livestock systems requires in particular: a) designing agroecosystems that favor the increase of biodiversity; b) monitoring key indicators of biological efficiency and including the evaluation of feasibility to implement corrective measures; and c) taking maximum advantage of highly biodiverse or mixed pastures under technical control of grazing to minimize the emission of pollutant gases. Well-managed pastures have been promoted as a key strategy to recover in a profitable way the sustainable balance of the agroecosystem, taking into account that grazing has a strong influence on grass composition and, therefore, pasture quality; many researchers consider B. bubalis herds as living tools for the remediation of pastures degraded by weed infestation thanks to their resistance and low selectivity that allows modulating grazing areas for remediation. …”
