It has a great economic advantage in both the infrastructure and the food, the cost is minimized greatly. c) semi System: It is a combination of both. It is the most widely used nowadays, because it enables better work in the birth quarters . As in the case of intensive, it is necessary to enable the facilities to accommodate the animals, particularly when there are overcrowded because it is birth´s time.
