Limiting Factors for Beef Production in the Southwest of Holguín Province, Cuba. Cienc. Tecnol. Agropecuaria [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.3, e2694.  Epub 30-Ago-2022.

In the Cauto valley, technological factors influence the productivity of cattle herds, also affected by the lack of rain and the physical properties of the soils. In order to determine the factors that limit the production of beef in the southwest of Holguín, Cuba, a questionnaire was applied to selected producers to collect data from the farms. The quantitative variables with the greatest variability were selected from this to perform principal component analysis and descriptive statistics were used to support the examination of the information. Beef production is limited by the farm's infrastructure, the level of degradation, milk production and attention to the replacement female, which explain 60.9 % of the variability in its deterioration. Indicators such as areas of compensacion, weeds and shade, as well as the body condition of the breeder and milk production require differentiated attention due to their contribution to face the degradation of the livestock ecosystem. Limiting factors of beef production, as well as indicators associated with them, constitutes a step to outline the innovations that in natural resources, productivity and institutional framework, are required in the region.
