Abstract: -The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of three different intensive silvopastoral systems (ISPS) on cattle animal welfare (AW) in Colombia. The three ISPS differed in area, plant composition, and grazing periods as follows: ISPS1 -low plant diversity in paddocks of 1200 m 2 , with grazing period of 24 h; ISPS2 -middle plant diversity in paddocks of 600 m 2 , with grazing period of 12 h; and ISPS3 -high plant diversity in paddocks of 600 m 2 , with grazing period of 24 h. Animal welfare was … Show more

“…Most behaviors are collected by direct assessment. Direct assessment can be adopted for behavioral observations and for indicators that require a test performed by humans, as in the case of the evaluation of human-animal relationships using an avoidance distance test [29,30,50]. These authors did not report any feasibility constraint; however, according to Hernandez et al [31], approaching animals in extensive systems may be difficult and sometimes not very informative as cattle bred in large groups in extensive systems may avoid the human touch, even if not necessarily afraid of it.…”

“…One of the issues is that data often refer to only one system and this can be misleading. For example, whilst [158] and many other publications use largely beef feedlot system data when referring to beef impacts, beef production from feedlot systems is much worse for conserved water usage than extensive pasture, fertilized pasture, and semi-intensive silvopastoral systems; the last is a form of agroforestry, typically integrating three-level plant production, including improved pastures, high densities fodder shrubs with edible leaves, and timber, fruit or palm trees, that may also have edible leaves [163]. Land use is highest for extensive pasture and higher for feedlot systems than that for semi-intensive silvopastoral systems [47].…”

“…If the food products of these herbivorous animals are consumed, world resources are used more efficiently if they are not fed grain or other potential human food. It can be considered wasteful for human food to be fed to animals with a big loss of food availability to humans [163,164]. Broom [165] states that any effect which the general public find unacceptable makes a system unsustainable, for example: inefficient use of world resources, adverse effects on human health, negative impacts on animal welfare, harmful environmental effects, unacceptable genetic modification, not being "fair trade" or damage to rural communities.…”

“…Open lots can also provide roaming space, but in the absence of shelter or cooling systems, the welfare of dairy cattle is likely to be impaired during inclement weather or periods of high temperature-humidity index (see review by Fournel et al, 2017). Depending upon climate and region, silvopastoral systems (a form of agroforestry in which trees, forage, and pasture for livestock are integrated) can provide animal welfare benefits in addition to ecosystem services (Tarazona Morales et al, 2017). This type of system is likely to be attractive to the public based upon high levels of naturalness, and cattle housed in these systems compared with a monoculture system have demonstrated more stable social hierarchies and increases in positive social behavior (Améndola et al, 2016).…”
