Estudio técnico de dos tipos distintos de suplementos alimenticios versus pastoreo tradicional en ganado bovino

Abstract

This degree work addresses the problems of ranchers regarding the feeding of cattle in areas such as the eastern plains, since this depends almost exclusively on the quality of the pastures, and these have certain productivity behaviors depending on the time of year. . For example, in the rainy season, pasture production increases and, therefore, beef cattle will be more productive and profitable, but in the dry season, the quality and quantity of pastures are truly compromised, causing poor nutrition. among cattle and with this a decrease in the profitability of livestock. For this reason, the proposal arose to supplement the diet of bovines with substitute food formulas, so the researchers experimented with two supplement proposals, one based on corn and the other based on rice, comparing weight gain and profitability with traditional grazing in a sample of 30 steers.
