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.[Bio-economic evaluation of dairy farm management scenarios using integrated simulation and multiple-criteria models]Bio-economic evaluation of dairy farm management scenarios using integrated simulation and multiple-criteria models

The attitudes of farmers in relation to the importance of different people as information and opinion sources (InfS) for different phases of the decision-making process were studied in 91 Costa Rican dairy farmers. The InfS studied were: Family members, Other farmers, Technical advisors, Farm sta...

Farmers' objectives and the factors affecting them were studied in 91 dairy farms in Costa Rica. Objective's hierarchies were studied using Rokeach's technique with a mixture of personal, economic and familiar goals. A canonical correlation analysis was performed to find out simple and canonical ...
