The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock announced the beginning of the Grazing Management Program with an investment of $1,078,394 in 277 cattle ranches and farms in the province of Guanacaste*.

The program begins with the ranches and farms that were affected by the drought lasting from 2014 to 2016.

The investment will finance laying out grazing areas within the properties. At 100 farms 5.5 hectares will be marked off. At 177 ranches the grazing tracts will be 100 hectares.

Around each area an electric fence will be installed inside which livestock will feed on the grass. After the cattle exhaust the grass, the animals will be taken to another fenced area.

The goal of rotation or moving of livestock to different feeding areas is to avoid overgrazing, soil degradation and allow enough time for the grass to renew and be in optimal conditions in the face of another possible drought season, said the government.

According to the ministry with the management of the grazing areas, ranchers would no longer have to buy additional forage during the dry season, which would reduce the costs of meat production.

"These farms are now more resilient to drought conditions, capture more carbon and are more productive because costs decrease," said the ministry in its statement.

More information, in Spanish only, about this new program of grazing management, can be reached at Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock phone number (506) 2105-6258 or (506) 2231-2344.
