Synopsis

This book is the product of the initiative of the group for Natural Resources and Livestock in the Tropics of the technological research and Innovation for Tropical Bovine Livestock Network (REDGATRO), who summoned its members to contribute with their experiences and research. As a product of this initiative, colleagues from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry of the Autonomous University of Yucatán (Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia de la Universidad Autonoma de Yucatán) submitted the present document which is titled Use and Resource Preservation of Temperate Deciduous Forest Pasture from the Peninsula of Yucatán, a collective work developed by members of the REDGATRO. This document provides guidelines for a conversion of livestock husbandry towards sustainable environmental focuses, in which native vegetation is valued and promotes the knowledge of these resources for producers and technicians in a practical manner. This is how REDGATRO complies with contributions in research, innovation, dissemination, training, and promotion of scientific knowledge for Tropical Animal Husbandry, in which the present documents looks for a benefit for producers, students, technicians, specialists, and authorities of this field. This work promotes knowledge, leverage, and productive conservation of biodiversity, in an environment of natural silvopastoral systems.

Pedro Geraldo González Pech, Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán

ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7916-1832

He has a Degree in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry from the Autonomous University of Yucatán (Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán: UADY), a Master’s Degree in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences from the Higher Education National School of Agriculture and the Environment (ENSAIA) in Nancy, France and a PhD in Agricultural Sciences from the French Agronomic Research Institution (INRA), in Avignon, France and is a member of the National System of Researchers (SNI) at a candidate level. At present, he is a professor of courses at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry in the Autonomous University of Yucatán. His research is in relation to feeding habits of small ruminants grazing on heterogeneous vegetation and the interaction with nutrition and with gastrointestinal nematode infections. He has contributed to the adaptation of minimally invasive methods for the study of animal behavior in conditions of free grazing and the identification and the revaluation of food resources for ruminants that are present in the temperate deciduous forest.

He has a Degree in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry from the Autonomous University of Yucatán (UADY), a Master’s Degree and a PhD in Agro-Livestock Sciences from the UADY. He is a member of the National System of Researchers (SNI) at a candidate level. At present, he is a Postdoctoral researcher at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry in the Autonomous University of Yucatán. His line of research is based on the selection of food resources for small ruminants. His contributions include the identification of Physiological mechanisms that make it possible for ruminants to consume high levels of anti-nutritional compounds such as condensed tannins and that emphasize the importance of the nutritional context that affects the expression of the phenomenon of therapeutic or prophylactic self-medication.

He has a Degree in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry from the Autonomous University of Yucatán in Mérida, México. He also has a Master’s Degree in Sciences from the Centre for Tropical Veterinary Medicine, University of Edinburgh in Scotland, and a PhD in Philosophy from the Royal Veterinary College, at the University of London, England. He is a full-time professor-researcher at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry of the UADY, a member of the National System of Researchers (SNI), level III, and of the Mexican Veterinary Academy. He is Associate Editor of the journal, Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, and is on the Editorial Board of “Small Ruminant Research” (Elsevier, Holland). His research focuses on Health Fields and Production of Domestic Ruminants. He has studied diverse alternative methods of Gastrointestinal Nematode Control in Ruminants and the epidemiology of resistance to antiparasitics in herds of ruminants in Mexico. He has collaborated in the generation of innovative knowledge in relation to the type of nutritional supplementation that is most adequate for ruminants in the rainforest ecosystem. He has contributed to describe and understand the herbivore-plant-parasite relation, including the eating habits of ruminants in the lowland rainforest of Yucatán, the nutritional contribution of these resources and its relation with the epidemiology of gastrointestinal nematodes.

He has a Degree in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry from the Autonomous University of Yucatán (UADY), México and a PhD in Philosophy from the Wye College at the University of London, Great Britain. He is a full-time professor-researcher at the Faculty of Verinary Medecine and Animal Husbandry of the UADY. He is also a member of the National System of Researchers (SNI), level III, THE Mexican Academy of Sciences, and a RegNutr (Animal) Certified Nutrionist by the Association for Nutrition in the United Kingdom. His lines of research are related to the nutrition of ruminants, the evaluation of in vivo and in vitro foods and the study of nutrition in ruminants (with emphasis on ovine and caprine animals) focusing on the interaction between nutrition and animal health, mainly in the field of nutraceuticals, incorporating the evaluation of quality of foods and the prediction of animal behavior with the intention of contributing to the understanding of biological mechanisms that underlie in the tropical animal production.

The cover corresponds to the book “Use and Preservation of Forest Resources in the Tropical Dry Forest of the Yucatán Peninsula.” The design features a full-color photograph of vegetation typical of tropical dry forests, dominated by green oval-shaped leaves and intertwined branches, evoking a dense and biodiverse natural environment. The title is centered at the top of the cover in white, high-contrast typography, arranged across multiple lines to ensure readability against the leafy background. Below the title appears the list of authors: Pedro Geraldo González Pech, Javier Ventura Cordero, Gloria Sarahí Castañeda Ramírez, Guadalupe Isabel Ortiz Ocampo, Juan Felipe de Jesús Torres Acosta, and Carlos Alfredo Sandoval Castro. The vegetation image visually reinforces the book’s central themes: traditional forest use, natural resource conservation, and the relationship between human communities and the ecosystems of the Yucatán Peninsula. At the bottom of the cover, the institutional name University of Colima is displayed, indicating the academic origin of the publication. Overall, the cover conveys a scientific and environmental focus, emphasizing sustainable use and preservation of forest resources in Mexican tropical ecosystems.
