ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of three different intensive silvopastoral systems (ISPS) on cattle animal welfare (AW) in Colombia. The three ISPS differed in area, plant composition, and grazing periods as follows: ISPS1 – low plant diversity in paddocks of 1200 m2, with grazing period of 24 h; ISPS2 – middle plant diversity in paddocks of 600 m2, with grazing period of 12 h; and ISPS3 – high plant diversity in paddocks of 600 […]
