Manejo de Pastagem.

Abstract

The supervised internship was held at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) Beef Cattle located in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. The activities corresponding to the stage were carried out in the pasture management area in experiments located at Embrapa headquarters .The Embrapa Beef Cattle was officially inaugurated in 1977. The company is responsible for generating and disseminating technologies that can contribute to increased production of beef per animal and hectare nationwide. The activities in stage course were performed in two different experimental areas. A formed grass Mombaça (Panicum maximum cv. Mombaça), endowed with grazing rotational system, which were used 130 experimental animals, bulls from the cross between Caracu x Senepol that the mean age was 24 months and average live weight of 330 kg. The other accompanied experimental area consisted of grass BRS-Ipyporã a resulting hybrid cross between Brachiaria brizantha x Brachiaria ruziziensis, not yet commercially released. With rotational grazing system using 90 experimental steers Brangus mean age of 24 months and average live weight of 430 kg. The main evaluations carried out in both experiments concern the development, growth and production of morphological components of the grass before the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic factors of the environment in the middle, as the morphogenic and agronomic evaluation. The stage expectations regarding the area of knowledge chosen, provided structure and use of time in activities proposed by stage plan were met. The conviviality and dialogue with professionals in the field, researchers, students and trainees colleagues contributed to the intellectual enrichment, personal and professional growth, important aspects that brought greater motivation to learn new areas and experience other experiences, and to provide greater confidence in choice of Animal Science as a profession.
