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

“…In order to consolidate a conceptual approach to sustainable grazing of B. bubalis, 674 specialized texts derived from refereed and indexed scientific journals (83.23%), books or book chapters (14.84%), proceedings of scientific events (0.74%) and other dissemination instruments such as official bulletins and brief notes from institutional pages (1.19%), written in English (86.05%), Spanish (12.02%), Portuguese (1.34%) or other languages (0.59%), were analyzed. 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. …”
