N2  - The kvorld's livestock production systems are divided into
3 broad categories, based on the degree of integration with
crops and land -- grazing systems, mixed crop-livestock
hrming systenls (MCLS) and industrial systems or landless
systems (Sere and Stienfield 1996). Historically, at low
population densities and land abundant scenario, crop and
animal production are extensive/specialized and hence, croplivestock
interaction is weak. However, as population density
incrr:~ses, there is increasing pressure on cropland, with
fallow and pastureland increasingly brought under
cultivation. This, in turn, raises farmers' dependence on cropresidues.
den~ar~fdor manure and animal traction. There is
thus n ~~~too\vvacrd s crop-livestock interaction, where crops
and animals are integrated on the same farms (McIntire er
111. 1992)...
