Our latest research paper:
Evaluation of Urochloa/Brachiaria grass hybrids for the Orinoquian savannas of Colombia
One hybrid with higher biomass production and lower N2O emissions than the commercial cultivar was identified

Leucaena diversifolia: a delicacy for animals and an excellent nutritional alternative that contributes to the mitigation of greenhouse gases (CH4). @Jon_Moorby @NickJonsson1 @grass_scientist @Jacobo_ABC

Thanks to our partners of the #CoForLife project: #UofGlasgow, @BBSRC, @ibers_aber , @cgiarclimate_LA,
@Livestock_CGIAR, #CIPAV, #AngusAzul, #UdeA, @GansoColombia, and our field workers to keep the good job!

[MAURICIO SOTELO @MAOZOTELO]

We have a delightful menu for feeding our steers; they're rotating between delicious Cayman, fortified Leucaena and a combination of both. All of this will help us assess the better and more sustainable diets for them. @Jon_Moorby @NickJonsson1 @grass_scientist @Jacobo_ABC

[MAURICIO SOTELO @MAOZOTELO]

Many thanks to Thanks to @BBSRC, @cgiarclimate_LA
@Livestock_CGIAR and to our field workers Rodrigo Peña and Edwin Palma we can continue with the study

[MAURICIO SOTELO @MAOZOTELO]

Despite social unrest in Colombia, our team finally managed to guide cattle to the Rithchie beef monitor

[MAURICIO SOTELO @MAOZOTELO]

#CoForLife will allow us to test benefits of improved diets and welfare upon animals. Collaborative work with @ibers_aber, @UofGlasgow , #CIPAV and #AngusAzul, @GansoColombia @UdeA

Today we sow the third 🌽cycle of our collaborative #JIRCAS @BiovIntCIAT_eng Brachiaria-maize intercropping project, deploying the BNI potential of tropical grasses to improve NUE and reduce GHG emissions.

[Juan Andres Cardoso @grass_scientist]

Finally animals arrived @BiovIntCIAT_eng for grazing experiments #SmartLivestock #DigitalFarming.This will provide information to improve diets and #AnimalWelfare.Collaborative work with @ibers_aber @UofGlasgow and others aiming to improve grazing livestock systems in Colombia

[Juan Andres Cardoso @grass_scientist]

We established a naming committee for the recently arrived animals for their tracking of movements and behaviour #DigitalFarming #PrecisionAgriculture. These are a few on the approval list: Moolato, Leucowena, Jacowbo, Mooricio, Moorby, Moothane...

Con la llegada hoy de 14🐮al campus de Palmira se utilizarán equipos de ganadería de precisión para evaluar el efecto de diferentes dietas forrajeras en las emisiones de CH4, eficiencia nutricional, rendimiento y calidad; con @AberUni, @UofGlasgow Angus Azul y CIPAV #CoForLife🌱
