Manejo de Pastagem Destinado á Ovinocultura no Norte do Tocantins.

Abstract

Sheep production is a breeding process that has been widely used across generations, as it is an activity used both as a source of subsistence family and as an economic means. And over the years, this activity has been developing more and more, through technological innovations, such as: types of management, genetic improvement and other breeding systems for these animals. And always aiming for the animal's well-being. Sheep are quite selective in their diet, always looking for the most palatable pasture. So it is It is important not only to know the composition of nutrients provided by grass to meet your nutritional requirements, but also the choice of species forage because of the behavior of sheep. Pasture constitutes the form natural part of sheep's diet, being considered a lower-quality diet. cost. When animals are subjected to different types of grazing, such as rotational grazing, forages have a rest period, animals remain in another paddock and the eggs deposited in the previous paddock end up dying due to not having contact with their host, thus causing breaking the helminth cycle. So it can be said that good management avoids high infestation of invasive plants and the occurrence of worms in the herd. Thus, the objective of this theoretical review is to present the aspects related to the production of sheep grazing on tropical forages, subjected to different production systems.
