Abstract

A study of the supplementation with sugar cane was carried out at 157 milk farms at the Camagüey province, belonging to the livestock industries of Triangle 1, Triangle 3 and Triangle 5 in the municipalities of Camaguey and Jimaguayú. Surveys were used to identify limitations and factors of action relations production systems. They found the greatest problems in the low intake by animals, the ways of intake and the use of sugar cane varieties. The typological classification showed three groups that represented 49%, 45% and 6% respectively according to the type of soil, production per ha and ways of intake. It is recommended that there be improvement in capacity and technology on problematic areas relating to the use of sugar cane as animal feed.
