PARRA HERRERA, Juan; DEL CAMPO ROJAS, Marcelo; ESTRADA E, Gloria e GONZALEZ TOUS, Marco. Behavioral biomarker of bovines of the dual purpose system. Rev.MVZ Cordoba [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.1, pp.5761-5776. ISSN 0122-0268. https://doi.org/10.21897/rmvz.936.
The importance of behavioral and physiological biomarkers and their effects on the dairy production of dual purpose cattle was evaluated through the collection and analysis of the primary information. The database maintained by the University of the Amazon, the National University of Colombia, and SCIELO, was analyzed using the keywords: animal welfare, ethology and bovine behavior. It was observed that the activities to which the cows are subjected in dairy production lead to an inevitable stress for the animal due to the conditions of the system, negatively affecting the production, specifically the quantity and quality of milk produced (Total solids, fats and proteins). Greater knowledge regarding animal welfare will contribute to a better understanding of the behavior of dual purpose cattle in dairy production, subject to different management conditions. In this sense, ethology becomes a powerful tool that helps to understand how these animals perceive their environment.
