MILERA, Milagros de la C; LOPEZ, O  and  ALONSO, O. Evolution of grazing management for dairy production in Cuba. Generated principles. Pastos y Forrajes [online]. 2014, vol.37, n.4, pp.382-391. ISSN 0864-0394.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the evolution of the most important scientific results related to the management of grazing systems for dairy production in Cuba, during the last 40 years of research. The compilation made allowed to generate a group of principles that rule the management with improved grasses, twining legumes and trees for browsing. The challenges in the conception of milk production systems in Cuba, which constitute the new paradigm: food and energy production on improved grasses in association with fodder, energy, timber and other trees, that cover 80 % of the animals' requirements, were analyzed.

Keywords : trees; grasses; legumes; grazing systems.
