Small-scale dairy systems are important worldwide for local and national production, an option to overcome poverty. Effects of climate change need forage options adapted future scenarios. This research addressed the hypothesis that black-oat (Avena strigosa Schreb.), either grazing regrowth or as first-cut silage in dry season, is a small-scale farmers highlands Mexico. Part I presents performance crop cows. There were two experiments. Treatments Experiment 1 restricted (BKO), with red...
Small-grain cereals may be a forage alternative for small-scale dairy systems under limiting climatic conditions given their short agronomic cycle. Cereals as dual-purpose forages (grazing and silage) have not been evaluated in Mexico. The objective was to assess the inclusion of rye (Secale cereale L.) (SCS) or triticale (×Triticosecale spp.) silage (TRS). treatments were: T1 = 10 kg DM cow-1 d-1 SCS, T2 TRS, both with grazing access (8 h d-1) Kikuyu grass (Cenchrus clandestinus (Hochst. ex...
La producción de leche en pequeña escala contribuye a la subsistencia varias familias; pero, igualdad género no es una realidad zonas rurales. Las mujeres afrontan violencia conyugal y se demerita su participación, provocando limitaciones toma decisiones del sistema producción. participación las considera un factor para revertir subordinación, eliminar marginación social empoderarlas. El objetivo fue evaluar el índice empoderamiento estos sistemas tres (poniente, centro oriente) Aculco,...
<p><strong>Background:</strong> Given the demand for meat and milk, it is necessary to increase productivity of ruminant animals, nevertheless livestock also contributes climate change due annual methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) emissions, having a detrimental effect on atmosphere, its greenhouse represents loss dietary energy animals. <strong>Objective:</strong> The objective was evaluate nutritional quality <em>in vitro</em>, as well production...
O Background: The implementation of polyphytic pastures composed grasses and legumes is an important component agricultural systems in temperate zones, since grazing which can reduce feed costs— are a viable option for small-scale dairy (SSDS). Objective: To evaluate the continuous cows Festulolium associated with annual perennial ryegrass clover two farmrs. Methodology: Two experiments were carried out. first experiment was established municipality Almoloya Juárez using eight that divided...
There is growing interest for health attributes in foods, and milk contains polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) beneficial human health, being forages a main source dairy cows. This research addressed the hypothesis that black oat (Avena strigosa Schreb.), either grazing regrowth or as first-cut silage dry season, forage option small-scale farmers central highlands of Mexico. study presents acid profile feeds milk. In Experiment 1 cows grazed 8 h d-1 (BKO), associated with red clover (BKC)...
Abstract Small-scale dairy systems face reduced availability of water for irrigation pastures and disruption in the amount or pattern rains due to climate change, so research on alternative short-cycle rain-fed forages is needed. Grazing reduces feeding costs small-grain cereals may be an option. The objective was assess on-farm performance cows grazing 6 h/d three cereals: rye (RYE), wheat (WHT), triticale (TRT), supplemented 4.5 kg DM/cow/d concentrate. Twelve Holstein were used repeated...
