Produção de Leite em Sistema de Pastejo Rotacionado

Abstract

The Mandatory Stage Curriculum was held at the Dairy Cattle Sector, Federal University of Goiás in Goiânia-GO, which had 45 lactating cows, crossbreds, from crossing the Holstein and Jersey breeds. The cows were kept in a rotational grazing system being milked twice a day, getting focused after each milking, which was followed by hygienic-sanitary standards for obtaining milk quality. The rotational grazing consists of a management system in which the pastures are divided into smaller areas, which alternates a period of grazing with a rest period. The forage consists of an economical means of feeding animals in production, however, only grazing is not able to meet the nutritional requirements of cows in production requiring supplementation with concentrates, which if not properly balanced can bring metabolic damage to the animals. The aim of the study was to obtain knowledge in Dairy Cattle, enhancing them through the activities developed at the Federal University of Goiás, as well as monitoring of milking management activities, feeding management of lactating cows and pasture management.
