En México, durante la Colonia, la ganadería surgió como un instrumento para privatizar las antiguas tierras indígenas y en torno a ésta se fueron generando complejos mecanismos de articulación social, institucionales y de defensa de privilegios de grupos territoriales, lo cual no contempló las devastadoras consecuencias ecológicas que implicaba su desarrollo. El objeto de estudio es la región de la Ciénega de Chapala, Michoacán (México), con el fin de vincular los cambios institucionales con la alteración del espacio físico, así como sus efectos identificando cuáles han sido los eventos a lo largo de la historia que determinaron su actual geografía. La Ciénega de Chapala, ha experimentado un importante grado de alteración en su paisaje, derivado de la apertura a la agricultura y a la ganadería extensiva desde el siglo XVI y, el caso de la Hacienda Guaracha es un ejemplo de cómo ocurrieron estos cambios desde las primeras concentraciones de tierra y agua en el siglo XVI hasta el final del siglo XIX. Palabras clave: ganadería, cambio institucional, estancia ganadera, Ciénega de Chapala, hacienda La Guaracha. The Emergence of Livestock in the Cienega de Chapala (Michoacán, Mexico). The Case of the Hacienda Guaracha (XVI-XIX centuries) AbstractIn Mexico, during the colonial period, livestock emerged as a tool to privatize former Indian lands and around them complex social mechanisms were generated which were institutional articulated to defend the privileges of territorial groups, which did not consider the devastating consequences involving ecological development. The study object is the region of the Cienega de Chapala, Michoacan (México), in order to link institutional changes with the alteration of the physical space as well as their effects by identifying what were the events throughout history that led to its current geography. The Cienega de Chapala has experienced a significant degree of changes in its landscape, derived from the opening to agriculture and extensive livestock since the sixteenth century. The case of Hacienda Guaracha is an example of how these changes occurred from the first land and water concentrations in the sixteenth century to the late nineteenth century.  Key words: livestock, institutional change, cattle ranch, Cienega de Chapala, Hacienda (Ranch) La Guaracha.

In 1990, a broadleaf weed growing on a cattle ranch in Hendry County in southwest Florida was identified as tropical soda apple (Solanum viarum Dunal), a species native to Argentina and Brazil (5) (Figure 1). Tropical soda apple (TSA) was apparently collected in Florida from Glades County in 1988 (University of Florida Herbarium) but was observed on the Hendry County ranch as early as 1987. Having foliage unpalatable to livestock, this noxious weed can infest a pasture or rangeland within one to two years resulting in lower stocking rates (animals per hectare). However, livestock and wildlife (feral hogs, deer, raccoons) will eat the fruit and disseminate the seed via feces. Fruit production occurs throughout the year (primarily September through May) thus providing high numbers (40000 to 50 000 per plant) of viable seed (75% germination) for seed dispersal. Our objectives are to alert those concerned with weed control of the presence of TSA in subtropical regions of the U.S., to discuss the ecology and taxonomy of this weed, and to indicate areas for future research.

This study took place in a cattle ranch working with double-purpose cattle, in the Department of Jutiapa, Guatemala, with the objective of calibrating a model of cattle measuring tape, with body measures, during the months of April, May and July, 1993. The measures were taken from 456 cattle heads, and the measuring variables comprehended: the torax diameter (TD), the body lenghth (BL), the live weight in kilograms (LW), and the age in years (AG). Cattle food was mainly pastures of “African Star” and “Jaragua” varieties, and other natural species. The herd produces milk all year round with a daily milking, and calves suckle until eight months old. The cattle measurements information was analyzed throughout fixed-effect models, including the TD, BL and AG variables, to determine the contribution of each effect for the live weight predictions. Two lineal multiple regressive models were adjusted by natural logarithm and by base-10 for males and females respectively. The analysis determined that in the studied population, the TD, BL and AG variables can be used to predict the live weight, according to the animal’s sex.
