ESTUDO DE CASO: CARACTERÍSTICAS DE PRODUÇÃO EM UMA FAZENDA DE GADO DE CORTE NO MUNICÍPIO DE SANTA TEREZINHA DE GOIÁS - GO

Abstract

Livestock farming plays a fundamental role in the economy of the municipality of Santa Terezinha de Goiás. Based on this, this study aimed to characterize the beef cattle production system on a local property. The research was carried out between September and October 2024, with the purpose of identifying the practices adopted in the animal breeding and feeding system, in addition to evaluating the infrastructure of the property. In addition to pasture, the animals receive mineral supplementation during the rainy season and, during the dry season, they receive mineral salt with urea. The producer is recommended to implement technical and economic records, in addition to adopting strategies for pasture recovery and improving management, aiming to ensure a greater supply of forage and improve animal productivity. The farm has mortality rates that can be reduced by identifying the causes and implementing an appropriate action plan to solve the problem.
