PROTEINADO DE BAIXO CONSUMO PARA BOVINOS DE CORTE - UM RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA

Abstract

Animal supplementation on pasture is one of the most used tools by ranchers who seek to increase the productivity of beef cattle. The use of low consumption proteins is a technological alternative that allows the intensification of livestock production systems. The objective of this work was to carry out an experience report from the experience during the supervised internship. The present study was carried out on a rural property located in the municipality of Paranaiguara, with beef cattle raising as its main activity, with emphasis on rearing and fattening. During a technical visit, a commercial proposal was made to the producer for the use of a low consumption protein test from the NutriFlex line, called B25-4. The study was carried out with 109 uncastrated males aged between 12 and 15 months, nellors and ringlets, divided into two lots: NutriFlex (65 animals) standard farm (44 animals), for 120 days. At the end of the test, it was possible to verify that the average daily weight gain for the batch supplemented with B25-4 was 1,330 kg, while for the standard farm batch, the average was 1,150 kg. The greater weight gain resulting from the use of protein B25-4 may have occurred due to the greater supply of nutrients. With the mandatory supervised internship, I had the opportunity to learn how to deal with different situations that may occur from the sale of products to their use on the property. The tested product allowed a 14% greater increase in the animals' daily weight gain.
