The supervised internship at the conclusion of the course was carried out on the Santo Estevão property, in the municipality of Iaciara-Go, km 154 of GO 112, which aims to finish cattle for slaughter in its own slaughterhouse (slaughter of females only) , and third parties. The period of stay at the property was between 08/01 and 09/30/2023, lasting 344 hours. The objective of the internship was to experience in practice the day-to-day life of a beef cattle production property in a confinement finishing system. Seeking to improve, complement and aggregate the knowledge acquired at the educational institution. Addressing the property's confinement system, herd control management, structures, food production for the animals, and routine development activities on the property. During the internship, the following activities were carried out: animal inclusion management, sanitary management, reading of troughs and drinkers, analysis of silage dry matter, releases and adjustments of diets, monitoring of production and supplies of tracts, and weighing for sale, . In addition to carrying out analyzes of the property's performance and productivity, production data from the first cycle of confinement were collected and analyzed, when only male animals of the Nelore breed, half Nelore/Angus blood and crossbreeds were confined. Finally, the production data generated by the DSM Firmenich program (Farmtell Beff), used on the property, was analyzed, showing production data, such as performance, food consumption, input and output analysis and financial analysis. Given this, it can be said that the internship was extremely important for professional training, as it was possible to reconcile theoretical knowledge with day-to-day practice, providing better understanding and practical experience in the area of activity.
