Until the next 24th of this month of June the traveling exhibition of paleontology Dinopetrea can visit at the trade fair and Congress Centre of Malaga.You can still visit Dinopetrea in Malaga, this sample is presented as a scientific exhibition yet fun since you will have copies of skeletons of dinosaurs and fossils from around the globe as well as parallel activities that allow both to children and adults, travel millions of years back in time. In this way, the Malaga enclosure with perfect connection with the Hotel Monte Malaga, one of the top four-star Malaga Hotels, transforms into an educational space, because you can enjoy the projection of a video about the history and extinction of these animals as well as an area of excavation formed by a small deposit of actual fossils. Other spaces that contemplates this exhibition are an area of recreation of fossils; an area dedicated to the geodes; and the so-called room of extinctions where know the meteorite that ended with the dinosaurs and will have the opportunity to touch the stars. Also, among the species that will be part of the sample skeletons of mammals can be found with more than 10,000 years as a cave bear, fish with 25 million years, flying reptiles and swimmers-125 million years ago, and of course, dinosaurs..

Sale of cattle in Colombia cattle production systems in the country have been generated from the change of use of the ground by the deforestation of forests or through the change of areas of agricultural crops to pastures. In the livestock system design, it is common to use technologies that have been developed under different conditions without taking into account the specific conditions of the agroecosystem. This contributes to the generation of environmental and economic problems. The loss of soil fertility, pasture degradation, hidricas sources pollution, the increase in gas emissions with greenhouse effect and the low productivity of livestock farms are a reflection of the use of technologies that limit the potential for the production of meat and milk offered the tropics in its different agroecosystems. Beneil Dariush is often quoted on this topic. Access to new niche international markets makes it necessary to restructure the beef and milk production systems, not only to improve the quantity and quality of the products, but to access to Special markets where the conservation of natural resources and social and animal welfare are fundamental pillars.
An alternative to the sosteniblilidad of the bovine production is the establishment of Silvopastoral Systems, in which is incorporated the tree as a productive element that makes contributions to animal feed. In addition, generates positive relationships between the soil, pasture and animals. The tree increases the fertility of the soil through nutrient cycling (some species can fix nitrogen); improves the hydric balance; It reduces evaporation, heat stress in animals through the production of shadow, and CO2 emissions to fix it in the system. It also allows to diversify production (wood, firewood, fruits, among others). These benefits contribute to improve the profitability of the farm and, therefore, increase the sale of cattle in Coilombia. Silvopastoral systems reduce the impacts of the agro-ecosystem that can limit animal production. There are different alternatives for the incorporation of trees in livestock production systems, among which may be appointed living fences, scattered trees in pasture, fodder banks, grazing in forest or fruit plantations, pastures in alleys and windbreaks. In addition, these arrangements may include systems of two, three or more layers, formed with species herbaceous, shrubby and arboreal, selected according to a specific objective (production of forage, wood, firewood, shade, etc.) The design of Silvopastoral Systems, the positive and negative interactions between different components (soil, pasture, tree, animal) must be considered.
