Cattle and Minor Species Innovation Network
Mission
Contribute to technical change to improve the productivity and competitiveness of the country's livestock, through the construction and execution of quality research, development, and technological linkage processes, based on their rigor and relevance through networked knowledge management.
Vision
By 2028, the Livestock Network will be a national and international reference network for its sustainability, capacity for concerted and coordinated action in generating knowledge and innovation products that contribute to the competitiveness of the Colombian livestock sector.
-
Offer sustainable soil, water and pasture management practices that improve the system’s productive capacity, are more efficient and mitigate the effects of climate change and variability, in comparison to conventional production systems.
-
Generate integrated and sustainable feed systems that improve the diet’s nutritional quality and contribute to obtaining competitive products of better compositional quality.
-
Evaluate and link animal biotypes adapted to the specific conditions of the tropics, in order to obtain differentiated products in terms of compositional quality of meat and milk, to meet the demands of national and international consumers.
-
Link good livestock practices—including reproductive and sanitary management, and improved downstream product processing—to help reduce the presence of chemical and biological residues in products obtained from livestock breeding activities, and to comply with the requirements of national and international markets.
