Rotational Grazing Modifies <i>Rhipicephalus microplus</i> Infestation in Cattle in the Humid Tropics by Gabriel Cruz-González, Juan Manuel Pinos-Rodríguez, Miguel Ángel Alonso-Díaz, Dora Romero-Salas, Jorge Genaro Vicente-Martínez, Agustin Fernández-Salas, Jesús Jarillo-Rodríguez, Epigmenio Castillo-Gallegos

“…This study aimed: (1) to evaluate the effect of three grazing modalities (rotational grazing with 30- and 45-day pasture rest and continuous grazing) on <i>Rhipicephalus microplus</i> infestation in cattle, (2) to determine population dynamics of <i>R. microplus</i> in cattle under the three grazing modalities mentioned in the humid tropics. The experiment was carried out from April 2021 to March 2022 and consisted of 3 treatments of grazing with pastures of African Stargrass of 2 ha each. …”

Breeding objectives for dairy cattle under low, medium and high production systems in the tropics by P.K. Wahinya, M.G. Jeyaruban, A.A. Swan, J.H.J. van der Werf

“…A deterministic bio-economic model was developed to estimate economic weights for genetic improvement of lactation milk yield, fat yield, age at first calving, calving interval, mature weight and survival under low, medium and high production systems in the Tropics. Input parameters were obtained from dairy production systems in Kenya which has a tropical environment. …”
