CORTES-MORA, J.A.; COTES-TORRES, A.  and  COTES-TORRES, J.M.. Advances in classification of production systems with dual purpose bovine in Colombia. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2014, vol.63, n.243, pp.559-562. ISSN 1885-4494.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0004-05922014000300018.

The aim of the research is to classify and show some features of the bovine production systems in Piedemonte Llanero of Meta Department and South of Casanare. For this purpose, we selected 14 farms representative of the region. To classify production systems we used a cluster analysis. Thus, we obtained three types of production systems: 1) Traditional, which has a low economic-business and technological capacity; 2) Improved, which has a moderate economic-business and technological capacity and 3) Intensive, which has high economic-business and technological capacity. These production systems complement the works of others researchers and it helps to have parameters for technology management and the development of farms in the region.
