Introduction
The concept of Livestock Farming Systems implies to pay attention to the relationships between elements to optimize the performance of the overall system. Livestock Farming Systems are dynamic.
Interacting entities including vegetable and animal have their own production cycles. The environment of the farm (natural, economic and social) also changes over time.
The farmers need to get information from within the Livestock Farming Systems and from the environment to take management decisions.
A high degree of skill is required to manage resources to meet the objectives of the farmer and the expectations of the downstream sector of the food chain.
