RELATÓRIO DE ESTÁGIO: MANEJO DE GARROTES EM SEMICONFINAMENTO E PASTEJO

Abstract

In this work I will report on the activities developed in the Mandatory Curricular Internship, in which the objective was to monitor the research carried out at the Comigo Technological Center, assist in the management of animals and farm logistics with the aim of maintaining constant and quality management. addressing animal welfare. During the internship period, I followed the routine of the Livestock Sector of the Centro Tecnológico Comigo of the Cooperativa Agroindustrial dos Produtores Rurais do Sudoeste Goiano (CTC), in the municipality of Rio Verde Goiás, where I was able to check the management of calves, garrotes and cows and how it is done the process of managing animals in different grazing and semi-confined crops correlated with supplementation. During the internship, I understood the importance of the magnitude of the operation of farm management and control, which is a reflection of the quality of the final product. Animal supplementation in pastures is a common practice in animal production. Having high availability of forage does not always mean meeting nutritional needs. of animals in growth or production. The choice of the type of supplement to be offered depends on the production objective, animal category and resource availability. In general, supplementation can be done with energy concentrates (corn, sorghum, rice bran), protein concentrates (soybean bran, cotton, corn gluten) or mixed. Furthermore, supplementation can be provided in a trough, the appropriate use of animal supplementation in pastures can contribute to animal weight gain, improve milk production and increase the pregnancy rate of females. However, it is important to emphasize that supplementation must be initiated in order to meet the animals' nutritional needs, avoiding waste and physiological damage, so as not to affect production costs and the quality of the final product.
