| contents | Reserve paddock as an agroforestry technique in the arid lands of Mendoza, Argentina Eduardo Martínez Carretero Antonio Dalmasso Biología goats forest Prosopis management Fodder species In the arid lands in the northeast of Mendoza province (Argentina) the only possible subsistenceeconomy is extensive livestock breeding.Mean plant cover in the area is 45%. Natural vegetationis dominated by open forests ofProsopis flexuosaDC associated with a shrub layer ofAtriplexlampaGill. ex Moq. The present carrying capacity ranges between 7.5 and 2.12 ha per animalunit, at sites in poor and good conditions respectively. The only alternative agroforestry tech-nique in this region is selecting areas as reserve paddocks and enriching them with native fod-der species. A total yield of 489.5 kgDM/ha/year could be reached in these areas by combiningplant species such asA. lampa, Tricomaria usilloGill. ex H. et A.,Lycium chilenseMiers ex Bert.,andProsopidastrum globosum(Gill. ex Hook. et Arn.) Burk. withP. flexuosa. Such associationwould allow for a carrying capacity of 0.8 ha per animal unit. Reserve paddocks ensure a rich-in-protein forage supply in critical periods (November-January). Their management involvestwo-hour grazing a day, alternating natural range with the reserve paddock. Reserve paddocksallow increased offer of marketable kids from the same herd of mother goats, since the latterobtain better nourishment without exerting additional grazing pressure. 2014 artículo científico 0327-9375 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42835597002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=428 Multequina application/pdf Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) Multequina (Argentina) Num.23 |
