This article is from ECHO Asia Note # 35. 如果想要实现您所拥有的农场或花园的可持续化，您能做到最好的一件事就是努力使其与一个小型家畜单元之间实现良好的共存和平衡。在本人所著的《热带可持续农业》一书中，家畜一体化是农业可持续发展的基础支持。如果您读过《ECHO 亚洲笔记》，您就很有可以更加容易的参与到农业和园艺工作之中。家畜不仅能够产出成本低且质量高的粪肥，同时还能产出用来食用或制造衣物的食物或材料。尽管科学家试图复制传统畜牧系统一体化的好处，但具体量化结果并不总是很容易的在现场试验中显示出来。

This article is from ECHO Asia Note # 31. 简介 令人惊奇的多重反刍动物形态多样，其营养需求也各不相同。反刍动物是反刍类亚纲（属偶蹄目）中偶蹄、四足和反嚼的哺乳动物。牛、水牛、山羊和牦牛是东南亚分布的一些反刍动物。 反刍动物能够在消化前借助有益微生物将植物性食物在其特殊的胃中发酵，再消化和获取营养（图 1）。在初步发酵后，将发酵的嚼团再次调味并再次咀嚼，重新咀嚼（进一步分解植物物质并刺激消化）的过程称为反刍。反刍动物产生的废料作为肥料是很好的价值，可以更好地生产他们摄取的饲料。农场应使用粪肥以保持土壤肥力。由于农场养分的循环利用，...
