Resumen:

Livestock production in Uruguay involves the management of C4-species dominated natural grasslands, which cover almost 65% of the country's surface area. Almost 75% of the farms specialized in beef and wool production are family farms. The main objective in all farms was to increase productivity and income without affectingthe environment and without increasing labour time. In all farms the redesign focused on increasing forage production (native grasslands) and stabilizing year-round availability (improved pastures) and increasing and stabilizing meat productivity.
