| Sumario: | Cattle production systems are facing dramatic changes due to increased social demands for cheap, safe, and high-quality products with less environmental impacts. Social demands are boosted by a not well-educated perception of agricultural productive systems and legitimate concerns about environmental and animal welfare issues. Future professionals in animal sciences will need traditional and new skills, such as environmental impact assessment, systems analysis theory, modeling, animal welfare, and bioethics. The university system in Argentina will have to respond with new and innovative research capabilities. |
