Herrero, Mario T.Fawcett, R.H.Dent, J.B.[Integrating simulation models to optimise nutrition and management for dairy farms: a methodology]Integrating simulation models to optimise nutrition and management for dairy farms: a methodology

This paper presents validation results and some management applications of a Tropical Pasture Simulator. The e ects of di erent environmental conditions, N fertilisation regimes and grazing intensities are analysed, and physiological concepts are used to aid in the inter- pretation of the respons...


Herrero, Mario T.Fawcett, R.H.Dent, J.B.[Modelling the growth and utilisation of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) under grazing. 2. Model validation and analysis of management practices]Modelling the growth and utilisation of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) under grazing. 2. Model validation and analysis of management practices

This paper describes a Tropical Pasture Simulator. This is a simple mechanistic model representing the growth of vegetative tropical pastures under rotational or continuous grazing with responses to N fertiliser, temperature and irradiance that can be used as a tool to study management options fo...


Herrero, Mario T.Fawcett, R.H.Silveira, V.Busqué, J.Bernués, A.Dent, J.B.[Modelling the growth and utilisation of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) under grazing. 1. Model definition and parameterisation]Modelling the growth and utilisation of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) under grazing. 1. Model definition and parameterisation

Appropriate selection of holistic management strategies for livestock farming systems requires: (1) understanding of the behaviour of, and interrelations between, the different parts of the system; (2) knowledge of the basic objectives of the decision maker managing such enterprise; and (3) under...

Herrero, Mario T.Fawcett, R.H.Dent, J.B.[Seasonal differences in the metabolisable energy concentration of kikuyu grass as predicted from in vitro gas production measurements]Seasonal differences in the metabolisable energy concentration of kikuyu grass as predicted from in vitro gas production measurements

The objective of this study was to predict the in vitro gas production and the estimated metabolisable energy (ME), crude protein (CP) and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) concentrations of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) by near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). A total of 288 sample...

González Estrada, E.Palacios-Trejo, I.Fawcett, R.H.Herrero, Mario T.[Application of GIS techniques to aid conservation strategies: Landscape analysis of communal grazing resources in a Mexican mountain forest and connexion with participatory studies]Application of GIS techniques to aid conservation strategies: Landscape analysis of communal grazing resources in a Mexican mountain forest and connexion with participatory studies

This paper studies the impact of a series of biographical variables and decision-making profiles, representative of the managerial capacity of the farmer, on the management and performance of their farms. It integrates all the profiles representing farmer’s objectives, decision-making approaches ...
