| Popis: | Nutrition has a fundamental role in the production of beef cattle, directly interfering in the costs, productivity and profitability of the activity. In this sense, the objective of the present work was to evaluate the challenges, opportunities and advantages of the production of the entire cattle fattening diet on the Angico farm, in the municipality of Corumbá - Mato Grosso do Sul. An applied research was carried out as a way of studying case. In the 2017/2018 harvest, the farm's own production yielded 116 bags / hectare of corn, 40 bags / hectare of soybeans, 42 tons / hectare of silage sorghum and 72.5 bags / hectare of grain sorghum. All of these ingredients were used in the feed of the feedlot animals. It was concluded that at the Angico farm, with the use of proper planting and management techniques, it was possible to overcome production barriers (adverse weather, attack by pests, diseases and wild animals), thus improving the efficiency of the enterprise. In addition, it was possible to recover degraded pasture areas and increase the farm's food independence by reducing the purchase of food from third parties and reducing costs per arroba produced with the animals' own food production. |
