prairie characterization, ingestive behavior, pasture structure, animal ethologyAbstract
The objective of this ethological review is to study the different characteristics of pasture in a prairie and to analyze the behavioral response during grazing. It seeks to analyze the factors of the pasture that can influence the food harvest, during the consumption of pasture by the ruminant. One of these factors may be the structure of the pasture, which is why there are currently conventional theories that seek to establish a relationship between these factors, explaining them from a metabolic and physical angle, but they do not take into account the influence that the characteristics "not nutritional" of the vegetation exert under grazing conditions. Given the importance of dairy farming in our region, and the impact that this activity has on the environment (it occupies the first places of environmental pollution due to the constant emissions of methane gas in animal droppings), It is necessary to be more explicit in the searches and explanations that allow us to better understand the mechanisms that govern its operation and to be able to find a way to make production more efficient by reducing the collateral damage (to the environment) typical of this activity.
