Abstract

Colombian ruminants’ systems are supported in grasslands, mainly kikuyuin highlands (Cenchrus clandestinus, previously Pennisetum clandestinum).The objective of this work was to compile information related to kikuyuand identify new research areas to promote an efficient and sustainableruminants’ systems supported in kikuyu. The literature suggests that kikuyupresents great resilience to adverse environmental conditions, especiallyin new scenarios of climatic variability. In addition, literature reports managementstrategies to improve animal production, product quality andreduce environmental impact. However, kikuyu presents limitations ofagronomic and compositional response, that makes necessary to developresearch works that allow increase knowledge between edafo-climatic relationsand management conditions to development optimization modelsfor kikuyu production systems. Finally, it is necessary to promote phenotypeand genotype studies and define genetic improvement programs toenhance grass expression under specific environmental conditions.
