SOTO-SENRA, Servando Andrés et al. Reflections about the adoption and extension of a seasonal milk production model in Camagüey, Cuba. Pastos y Forrajes [online]. 2017, vol.40, n.1, pp. 3-15. ISSN 2078-8452.
In order to reflect on general criteria for the adoption and extension of a seasonal milk production model in the Camagüey province, considerations are presented related to the possibilities and potentialities of seasonal milk production based on climate conditions, characteristic of cattle production ecosystems and on the more efficient use of available resources. Topics are approached linked to the rational management of the pastureland, closely related to an adequate strategy in reproduction and parturition, whose higher concentration (70-80 %) should coincide with the period of higher pasture production, taking into consideration the limited use of additional resources, the bio-economic response, its possible repercussions on the need to assimilate new conceptions and action methods at the different levels, as well as on the primary production-industry-trade-consumer chain. It is indicated that the implementation of a seasonal milk production model adapted to the conditions of Camagüey, Cuba, can mean a significant response to the need of the country to increase productive yields on sustainable bases.
