- Intensive Systems:
Characteristics: High input, high output. Animals are kept in confined spaces with controlled feeding, breeding, and health management practices. Common in dairy farming, poultry, and pig farming.
Advantages: High productivity, efficient use of resources, better disease control.
Challenges: High capital investment, environmental concerns due to waste management, animal welfare issues. - Extensive Systems:
Characteristics: Low input, low output. Animals are raised on natural pastures, with minimal intervention. Common in sheep, goat, and cattle farming in arid and semi-arid regions.
Advantages: Lower costs, sustainable use of natural resources, better animal welfare.
Challenges: Lower productivity, vulnerability to climate change, and higher disease risk due to limited veterinary care. - Semi-Intensive Systems:
Characteristics: Combines aspects of both intensive and extensive systems. Animals are kept in confinement but are also allowed access to grazing areas.
Advantages: Balanced productivity, better animal welfare than intensive systems, and more efficient use of resources than extensive systems.
Challenges: Requires careful management to balance feed, grazing, and health care. - Specialized Systems
Characteristics: Focused on a specific type of production or breed.
Types:
Dairy Production: Focus on milk production with specialized breeds (e.g., Holstein dairy farms).
Meat Production: Specialized in breeding and raising animals for meat (e.g., pork or poultry farms).
Wool Production: Focused on breeding sheep for wool (e.g., Merino sheep farms). - Integrated Systems
Characteristics: Combination of livestock and other agricultural activities for mutual benefit.
Types:
Agroforestry Systems: Integrating trees with livestock production (e.g., silvopasture).
Aquaculture-Livestock Integration: Combining fish farming with livestock (e.g., fish ponds with poultry).
Â
Short Point-Wise Notes:
Intensive: High input/output, confined spaces.
Zero Grazing: Animals housed and fed harvested feed.
Feedlot: Confined feeding for fattening.
Extensive: Low input/output, natural grazing.
Rangeland: Grazing on natural pastures.
Nomadic: Moving with livestock in search of resources.
Semi-Intensive: Mix of intensive/extensive practices.
· Specialized Systems:
Dairy: Focus on milk production.
Meat: Focus on meat production.
Wool: Focus on wool production.
· Integrated Systems:
Agroforestry: Combining trees with livestock.
Aquaculture-Livestock: Integrating fish farming with livestock
