Does the use of silvopastoral systems increase or reduce the levels of parasitism in cattle in Colombia ?

Nutrient Management in Silvopastoral Systems for Economically and Environmentally Sustainable Cattle Production: A Case Study from Colombia

Analysis of the enzyme network involved in cattle milk production using graph theory

Understanding cattle metabolism and its relationship with milk products is important in bovine breeding. A systemic view could lead to consequences that will result in a better understanding of existing concepts. Topological indices and quantitative characterizations mostly result from the application of graph theory on biological data. In the present work, the enzyme network involved in cattle...

Regional Integrated Silvopastoral Ecosystem Management Project – Costa Rica, Colombia and Nicaragua Authors: Stefano Pagiola and Agustin Arcenas

Pasture-based cattle farming has dramatically modified the rural landscapes on a continental scale and has been recognized as a process with huge environmental and social impacts. In Latin America and the Caribbean region, there are currently more than 602 million hectares occupied by permanent pastures, which accounts for more than 33% of the said region (Chará & Murgueitio 2005). Cattle produ...

Does Intravenous or Intraarticular Tranexamic Acid (TXA) Reduce Joint Bleeding Following Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction and Arthroscopic Meniscectomy? Can Intraarticular Use be Harmful to Chondrocytes?

Arthroscopic knee surgery to perform partial meniscectomy and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is frequent and effective, although a possible complication is postoperative intra-articular bleeding. When this complication occurs, in addition to the associated pain, the patient usually requires an arthrocentesis to avoid loss of joint mobility. Sometimes this problem ends up associ...

Livestock Farming Systems and Cattle Production Orientation in Eastern High Plains of Algeria, Cattle Farming System in Algerian Semi-Arid Region

This study was an attempt to devise productive orientations of cattle herds in eastern high plains of Algeria. In this regard, 165 farms randomly identified were investigated. The selection of breeders was based to existence of cattle on the farm, and the farmer proposed to investigation must have at least two cows. The approach taken was to identify all systems adopted by farmers in a region t...
