GERENCIAMENTO DE CONFINAMENTO DA BOVINOCULTURA DE CORTE

Abstract

Confining is creating batches of animals in corrals or paddocks with a restricted area, where food and water are provided in troughs. Therefore, good trough management becomes crucial so that the animals reach the established ADG target, achieving the desired target in nutritional planning. Confinement management is of paramount importance on the property. Through it, satisfactory results are obtained in the carcass quality of confined animals, as it helps to ensure that the animals are healthy and well fed, which will lead to an increase in productivity. This work aimed to analyze the appropriate management of confinement, where it can be demonstrated how to prevent future problems such as diseases and injuries in animals, which can reduce treatment costs and increase the profitability of the confinement, and also demonstrate that, to obtain a management of a confinement, it is necessary to carry out some daily procedures, such as collecting and processing information, treatment schedules, reading and cleaning the troughs, carefully observing the animals' feces score, as it is through these observations that one gets a sense of how the animal's nutritional health is, the cleanliness of the drinking fountains and the behavior that the animals display when the treatment is provided. There are some essential activities that need to be updated daily. Therefore, in order to support the work, a solid basis was developed that encompasses the conceptual and legal perspectives of the fundamental theme related to the research object, as well as its implications, through a careful bibliographic review. In terms of methodological aspects, the methodology used in the project was characterized by a literature review and bibliographical research, qualitative and quantitative investigation of the facts, and a field approach, which had as a data collection instrument, conducting interviews on-site, direct observations and primary data collection, and involved the natural environment in which the phenomenon occurred. Finally, it is believed that the document indicates how it could contribute to substantiate aspects related to consumption, coordination and confinement control, as well as showing that managing a confinement goes beyond just cost control and economic viability, but rather, the presence in everyday life of activities that seem basic, but that make all the difference in the final product.
