    Abstract
    Grass and cattle are an important part of Panama agriculture. Ninety percent of all grassland contains one or more introduced grasses. Brush control, fire control, and improvement in grass and livestock management are major problems. Cattle are grown and finished for market on grass. Low calf crops, disease and parasites, poor dry season feed conditions, and low-quality animals result in a generally low beef production per cow. Improved grazing practices and sound livestock management will result in higher calf crops and increased beef yields. Potential exists for a sound and economically profitable ranching enterprise./Los pastizales y el ganado son una parte muy importante de la agricultura de Panamá. El 90% de las tierras de pastoreo contienen una ó más especies de gramíneas introducidas. El combate de arbustivas, el control de las quemas, y el mejoramiento tanto de las plantas forrajeras como del ganado son de los problemas más importantes. El ganado se cría y se engorda para el mercado en los potreros. Los bajos porcentajes de parición, las enfermedades y los parásitos, el bajo valor nutritivo de los forrajes durante las épocas de sequía, y los animales de calidad inferior traen como consecuencia, por lo general, una baja producción por vaca. Mayores porcentajes de parición y aumentos en el rendimiento de carne podrán lograrse mediante prácticas de pastoreo mejoradas y un manejo adecuado del ganado. La ganadería en Panamá ofrece un buen potencial para establecer empresas remunerativas.
