Dieta de grão inteiro para bovinos de corte: Uma revisão

Abstract

Beef cattle farming is of great economic and nutritional importance in Brazil, particularly for the production and export of beef. The sector's performance is directly related to productive efficiency, the adoption of intensive systems, and the proper use of animal nutrition. Given this, the general objective of this study is to analyze the nutritional, physiological, productive, and economic implications of using whole grain diets in finishing beef cattle. This work is characterized as an exploratory and descriptive literature review. Therefore, it is concluded that whole grain diets can be considered a viable and efficient alternative for finishing beef cattle when applied technically and in a balanced way. The integration of adequate nutrition, feed management, rumen health, animal welfare, and economic analysis is essential to guarantee positive results.
