MONITORAMENTO DE CONFINAMENTO E CONTROLE ZOOTÉCNICO EM ARRAIAS - TO

Abstract

This experience report aimed to acquire practical knowledge combined with experience in the area of ​​animal husbandry, through monitoring the daily routines of confinement and the execution of animal husbandry control. The activities were developed on the Pesqueiro and Manga farms, located in the municipality of Arraias, TO. The Pesqueiro farm directs its activities towards beef cattle farming, with an emphasis on intensive rearing and fattening. The focus of these practices covers several areas, including responsibility for herd inventory and the implementation of health protocols. Also noteworthy are the individual identification of animals, the insertion of herd data into the system and the management of the confinement. These activities go beyond simply obtaining zootechnical indices, playing a crucial role in improving both the economic profitability and the quality of the herds. Zootechnical records, in this context, provide a more in-depth analysis of the specific environment in which the herd is located. This enables managers to make decisions with greater security and basis, contributing significantly to the continuous improvement of zootechnical practices.
