The feeding scheme of extensive animal production systems in Montado
The agro‐silvo‐pastoral system known as.Montado in Portugal and named.Dehesas in Spain is a characteristic of the landscape was built‐up by Man and maintained for centuries by using natural resources complemented with farming activities to support the living of people.Potes et al (2003) characterized.Montado as an extensive production ecosystem very well adapted to the Mediterranean environnements with high levels of biodiversity in animals and plants and mainly based on three types of plant components : trees,shrubs and pastures.The traditional management of the ecosystem consists on the control of shrubs and the integration of this operation into a crop rotation system getting a friendly management of environment.The most important contributions of the trees for the productive eco‐system are cork,as a source for industrial products,fruits and leaves as complements for the complementation of the feeding scheme in extensive animal production systems.
