dc.description.abstract | The aim of this document is to analyze the bovine production systems in the Department of
Cundinamarca (Colombia) as an initial part of the strategic plan to implement sustainable and efficient
technological proposals in this region of the Andes. Descriptive and productive agricultural data
related to bovine production of the 116 municipalities were analyzed using a multivariate analysis
method (principal component, cluster and variance analysis). The information contained quantitative
variables regarding three topics: general information (geographical, cadastral and productive), a
municipal bovine inventory, and productive information about the cattle farms. The analysis enabled
us to generate three clusters of bovine production systems as follows: Cluster 1, representative of the
dual-purpose activity, made up of 48 medium-climate municipalities, of which 64.6% of the municipal
farms correspond to dual-purpose production with an average farm size of 5.2 ha, a carrying capacity
of 1.2 UGM/ha and milk production per cow of 7.75 L/d; Cluster 2, made up of 36 cold-climate
municipalities dedicated mainly to dairy production on farms (65.9%) of approximately 3.8 ha,
with a carrying capacity of 2.3 UGM/ha and milk production per cow of 14.34 L/d.; and Cluster 3,
made up of 32 warm-climate municipalities dedicated mainly to beef production on farms. In this
cluster, 66.6% of the farms correspond to beef production of approximately 8.5 ha, with a carrying
capacity of 1.2 UGM/ha and milk production of 6.35 L/d. Colombia’s climatic diversity and the
wide range of bovine livestock activities are among the main strengths that make up the system’s
advantages. However, the low technological development in the majority of the bovine livestock
farms, which is related to variables such as low carrying capacity, as in Clusters 1 and 3 and with
the low employment generated by bovine production in Colombia, are opportunities to improve the
livestock industry. It is advisable to continue working to obtain data on important aspects of the
system such as technology, nutrition, reproductive management (including artificial insemination),
the economy and environmental and social aspects, in order to delve deeper into the sustainability of
productive systems. | es |
