| Description: | A change in the distribution of the production over pastoral and mixed systems; usually to a larger share of the production in mixed systems, which inherently changes the overall feed conversion ratios of ruminants. |
| Is implemented in: | Livestock |
| Associated theme items: | Animal husbandry (Food) |
Associated policy response component
Component: Land and biodiversity policies
Page: Land and biodiversity policies/Agricultural production system
Effects of this policy intervention on components
Component: Agricultural economy and forestry
Effect : An intensification of livestock systems decreases the average area needed per animal (in land using livestock systems)
Component: Agricultural systems
Effect : An intensification of livestock systems decreases the average area needed per animal (in land using livestock systems)
Component: Nutrient balances
Effect : Generally leads to a reduction of overall emissions (e.g. CH4) and reduction of overall nutrient excretion; however, it will generally also lead to an increase of ammonia (NH3) emissions from manure storage and spreading of manure
