Avaliação dos sistemas de pastejo em propriedades rurais de leite em Confresa-MT

The correct management of a pasture is the determining factor for a good production and response by the animal. Thus, the present work aimed to compare the development of rotational and extensive grazing systems in rural milk producing properties in the municipality of Confresa-MT. The methodology of the project sought the application of a questionnaire, collection of forage samples, and monitoring of milk production of the twelve chosen properties, the samples of each evaluated property were collected and sent to the bromatology laboratory of the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso - Campus Confresa , a total of 36 samples of different forages evaluated. Three treatments were analyzed, rotated grazing system with two days of occupation, rotated with more than two days of occupation and continuous grazing system. According to statistical data on the Tukey test at 5%, the system rotated with 2 days of occupation showed superior results in contents of green mass, dry mass and milk productivity in relation to the other systems. It was found that the rest period was a major factor for this result.
