Caracterización de la ganadería bovina en el área de protección de flora y fauna cañón del Usumacinta, Tenosique, Tabasco, México

Abstract

Objective: Bovine Production Systems were characterized in the ejidos of the Flora and Fauna Protection Area, Usumacinta Canyon, Tenosique Tabasco.

Design/methodology/approach: Socioeconomic strata Were created for the production units by a random sampling to 80 Units of Bovine Production, contingency tables were generated with tests of X² and for categorical data and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for quantitative data.

Results: A bovine production system was identified: "Traditional Extensive", in three strata (I. Agriculture and Conservation, II.Agriculture and Livestock, and III. Livestock), where the socioeconomic, physiographic and market level affect its technology and production.

Limitations on study/implications: The Traditional Extensive System presents strong limitations to create strategies for the improvement of the production due to the physiography it puts in disadvantage the technification and development, that affect the marketing channels and due to this, there is persistence of jungle vegetation.

Findings/conclusions: The production units must lay the foundations in the sustainable use of resources through the development of a livestock from a territorial ordering perspective.
