ESTRATÉGIAS INTEGRADAS DE APRIMORAMENTO NA PECUÁRIA LEITEIRA: ESTUDO DE CASO EM UMA PROPRIEDADE FAMILIAR EM CAMPOS BELOS-GO

Abstract

This course conclusion work (TCC) presents a case study related to technical assistance on a rural property dedicated to dairy farming in the municipality of Campos Belos-GO. The property, comprising four bushels, a bull and 30 cows (initially with just five lactating), faced significant challenges, such as the lack of energy and the manual milking process. The central objective of the project was to demonstrate, through of practical interventions, that specific changes in the activity can be implemented to optimize milk quality. The practices adopted included improvements in hygiene of drinking fountains, cleaning the milking place, sanitizing equipment, hygiene practices personnel and the implementation of zootechnical controls in production. Monitoring the Production was carried out biweekly, involving the individual weighing of milk from each cow. These data were used to evaluate the lactation curve of each animal, carry out evaluations genetics according to production potential, develop a food plan personalized and guarantee the satisfaction of the nutritional requirements of each cow. Main The objective was to improve the producer's income. During the dry period, strategies Specific guidelines were adopted, including the introduction of low-cost roughage in nutrition. A chosen forage was sugar cane, due to its high forage yield, rich sugar content and palatability for animals. The addition of urea, as a source of non-protein nitrogen, and ammonia, to assist in microbial protein synthesis in the rumen, were carried out in a 9:1 ratio. This supplementation resulted in a direct increase in milk production and body score levels, contributing to successful implementation of biotechnology in reproduction. This case study concretely demonstrates that technical interventions and strategies adapted to local conditions can not only overcome challenges, but also contribute to the sustainability and profitability of dairy production in family properties.
