Implementación del modelo de ganadería regenerativa en búfalos de la Granja Experimental Villa Marina.

Abstract

The regenerative livestock model is a set of strategies that ensure the conservation of fauna and flora, increasing the habitat of various species that favor the resilience of these agro-ecosystems, progressively seeking a natural balance that translates into profitability of the livestock activity. This business practice seeks to implement the regenerative livestock model in the Villa Marina experimental farm in the municipality of Pamplonita-Norte de Santander, thus providing a strengthening of the Bufalino production system. In the methodological framework it can be evident; the identification of the place that has an area of 440 hectares, its average temperature was 20ºC and its topography of humid slope. A diagnosis of the farm was made to determine a SWOT matrix, as well as the management and animal production of dog days, sheep, goats, pigs, cattle and buffalo. Some of the activities carried out were: capacity to know the percentage of grass and weed coverage, the respective weighing and the mastitis test. Among the results, a total of 33.1 weeds were found in the paddocks, the initial capacity record of the samples from the different paddocks with bracharia decumbes grass with a total of 9,515 kg of small sample - 19,360 kg medium and 22,325 kg of the large sample. In total, paddocks were rotated in 3,394,062 Ha. A synchronization protocol was made where 4 buffaloes were placed with an intravaginal device with 0.5g of progesterone, with its respective hormonal protocol to guarantee artificial insemination at a fixed time. It can be concluded that this monitoring allowed an optimal result in relation to the body condition of animals and weight gains, the presence of ectoparasites decreased, although there were also weight losses due to climate change where said weight was affected.
