A influência da mineralização na reprodução de fêmeas bovinas

Abstract

The nutrition of beef cow matrices is a very important factor, as malnourished females can have their reproductive performance impaired, such as an increase in the calving interval (IEP), a decrease in the conception and pregnancy rate, a greater return to cyclicity, which brings great losses to the meat production chain. For this reason, it is important to obtain more knowledge about the relationship between reproduction and nutrition when thinking about increasing herd productivity. Macros and microminerals, even if they are required in small amounts in relation to other nutrients in the diet, perform important functions for the animal's metabolism. The present work of conclusion of course in Animal Science at Universidade Federal do Norte do Tocantins presents a bibliographic review regarding the influence of mineralization on the reproduction of Nellore females. In the course of this work, the relationship between adequate consumption and a balanced diet will be presented for better development, both in growth and in the functions of organs and reproductive metabolism of these animals, thus avoiding the incidence of reproductive problems such as: placenta retention, abortion, estrus silent, infertility, increased cyclicity, high stillbirth rate, birth of calves with bad deformity, etc.
