gain of calves with access to legume was 30% higher than that of the control group during the 90 days of the experiment. Table 1. Volume of milk for sale and growth of pre-weaned calves with and without access to Stylosanthes guianensis in Caquetá, Colombian Amazons. Parameter Treatment Control Stylosanthes guianensis Milk for sale (kg/cow per day) 3.3 4.0 Liveweight gain of pre-weaned calves (g/day) 297 389 Conclusions The results of this study agree with those obtained on small dairy farms of Pucallpa, Peru. This technology could be very attractive to small dairy producers given that the establishment cost of this legume is less than that of other alternatives based on legume-grass associations. Furthermore, cash flow increases because of the higher sale of milk, without affecting calf liveweight gain. In addition, this technology could form part of a crop-pasture rotation system to improve soil fertility, thus eliminating the need to fallow land. 76
Activity 2.3. Integration of information using ruminant and feed system models Highlights • Simulation models are useful tools to reduce research costs, predict nutritional deficiencies, and facilitate decision-making regarding research priorities in the area of animal nutrition. 77
