I am a professor-researcher at the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas (UAZ), Mexico, working in Animal and Agricultural Sciences with a focus on sustainable livestock systems in semi-arid regions. My research integrates animal nutrition, forage resources, and management practices to improve productivity, welfare, and resilience in smallholder goat, sheep, and cattle production. A central line of my work is drought risk management (“Gestión de Sequías Agropecuarias”), including adaptive feeding strategies, grazing and pasture management, and practical decision-support approaches for producers. I also study the soil–water–forage continuum and its implications for animal performance and farm sustainability, including assessments of forage quality and environmental stressors such as heavy metals in agricultural landscapes. Methodologically, I combine field surveys, farm typologies, and multivariate analyses with laboratory evaluations to generate evidence-based recommendations that are feasible under real production constraints. I actively engage in extension and capacity-building with producers and local institutions, translating scientific findings into training materials and strategies that strengthen rural livelihoods and resource conservation.
