O USO DE SISTEMAS DE INFORMAÇÕES PARA AUXÍLIO EM PASTEJO ROTACIONADO

Abstract

This article explores the importance of technology in the agricultural sector, with an emphasis on beef cattle farming, highlighting how the rotational grazing system can increase productivity and reduce both costs and pasture degradation. In this context, an application was developed to assist small livestock farmers in managing this system, optimizing forage management and quality. The application is capable of considering the specificities of each property, such as the size of the paddocks and the breed of cattle, offering personalized recommendations. Tested by a producer over five months, the experimental use of the system allowed a comparative analysis with historical data, revealing a significant improvement in production and forage use.
