Livestock production in the
world and in Mexico
Deforestation Loss of Biodiversity
Scarcity of resources Soil degradation
Water Pollution Carbon Footprint
National Program on Silvopastoral Livestock Production
Decrease in production
Decrease in profitability
Important changes in landscape
Climate change pressure
Combination Legumes, Grasses, Trees
Ecological advantages
Characteristics of SPS
Improved structure of the soil, fertility
Increased Livestock production per ha.
Better Microenvironment Diversification of production/ha.
Mexican National Program
Started in Michoacan18 States
10,000 has
Animal Health component SPS
Components of Research project
Inputs from farmers Importance of animal
health Starting survey
Almost none kept records
Small Stakeholder
They are 75% Family operated
1 to 35 animals Subsistence,
financial tool Low technification
Low Input, low output
Can’t afford Veterinary Services
Community based approach Important for
farmers That builds from
within That will persist over
time Scarce economic
resources Remote
marginalized regions Insecurity
Syndrome definitions
Meetings, Farmers and Veterinarians and
Technicians Visits to farms
Define syndromes Record keeping
Syndrome definitions
Respiratory Digestive
Locomotor Neurologic
Reproductive Skin and
lesions Sudden death
Udder Illustrated
Guideline
Record Keeping
Presented to Participants
On a Daily basis Treatments if any
Presented to users One for every farm
One for the veterinarian and one for the
technician July to December 2012
Results Triangulation
Counts of cases Determine the
frequency (Milk Yield and weaning weight)
Determine syndromes with
major impact
Incidence Respiratory: 0 to 0.1
(Calf Pneumonia)
Digestive: 0 to 0.04 (Calf Scours)
Locomotor: 0 to 0.01 (Lame cow)
Skin and Lesions: 0 to 0.04
(Skin injuries)
Incidence Reproductive: 0.002 to
0.02 (FMR)
Neurologic: 0 to 0.01 (Calf Depression)
Death: 0 to 0.01 (Calf Death)
Udder/Mastitis: 0.004 to 0.04
(Mastitis)
Current activities Event based
Surveillance, Tool for small
stakeholder Standard of
Operations
