Sistema rotacionado com vacas leiteiras nos trópicos

Abstract

Brazil is an extensive country, and a great diversity of climate and topography is found throughout the five regions into which it is subdivided. Due to these characteristics, the country has become a hotbed of activities focused on agribusiness. And with 45% of its territory covered by pasture, including natural and implanted, the efficient use and management of pastures becomes essential to obtain greater productivity. Among the main activities in livestock and agriculture, milk production is undoubtedly one of the oldest branches, with historical and economic potential in the country. The importance of studying forage plants has become fundamental in the system of raising high quality dairy cows in a rotational grazing system, always respecting the physiological stages of the forage plants with their respective entry and exit heights and offering a grazing horizon with blade leaf. The objective of this work was to review the rotational system with dairy cows on tropical grasses.
