• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Pesquisa aponta evolução na alimentação dos animais confinados | Planeta Campo," Danilo Millen, a professor from Unesp Jaboticabal, discusses the advancements in animal confinement in Brazil, which has been made possible by the application of technologies that allow animals to gain weight faster and be slaughtered more quickly. The cost per day for each animal in confinement is around R 14 to R 15. By accelerating the growth process, producers can reduce the cost of feeding and shorten the production cycle, bringing environmental benefits as well. The focus on increasing productivity on smaller areas is a common trend among cattle farms, as they strive for more sustainable and profitable livestock farming. The video then introduces Fazenda Vale do Boi, a reference in genetic improvement, which has been producing and commercializing high-quality Nelore cattle for over 40 years. The farm, located in Carmolândia, Tocantins, is known for its commitment to sustainable livestock farming, investing in genetic improvement programs, modern livestock management practices, and soil management. By using a carbon footprint reduction strategy, the farm produces high-quality forage and reduces the need for costly inputs like fertilizers and pesticides.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Pesquisa aponta evolução na alimentação dos animais confinados | Planeta Campo," the speaker discusses JBS, a Brazilian company that is a pioneer in selling animals with genetic evaluation at auctions in Tocantins. The company is also a leader in sustainability, using the advantages of the Amazonian biome to create a productive farm with good animal welfare. Asas, a farm in the region, has had fantastic results due to the productivity of the pastures. JBS, which was founded 70 years ago and is now the largest company in its sector, producing in 16 countries and feeding millions of people worldwide, has its roots in Brazil. The company focuses on productivity, reducing environmental impact, and using technology to maximize protein production. The speaker then mentions a new insecticide from Irara, which is an effective weapon against pests, and a fertilizer from Feo Agro, which is the "adubo" of cooperativism in Santa Catarina. The program "Cooperativismo em Notícia" aims to give visibility to those who provide security. The speaker then introduces José Jofre de Castro Filho, a rural producer from Cachoeira Paulista in São Paulo, who returned to the interior after many years in the capital to invest in 27 hectares of land. The result is the production of high-quality coffee and milk. José had been a metalworker in São Paulo for 30 years before retiring and his dream was to buy a farm back in his hometown. He realized his dream and joined the Esg Leite Floresta project, which helped improve the farm's productivity through technical analysis and soil evaluation.
• 00:10:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Pesquisa aponta evolução na alimentação dos animais confinados | Planeta Campo," the speaker, José Jofre, discusses the importance of animal welfare in agriculture and shares his personal experience of learning about animal behavior and the relationship between humans and animals. He emphasizes the significance of working in harmony with animals and the positive impact it has on both animal welfare and production. The speaker explains that the five domains of animal welfare are nutrition, health, behavior, environment, and mental states, and neglecting any of these principles can negatively affect an animal's well-being. He also highlights the benefits of integrated farming systems, which prioritize animal welfare, for both the animals and the people who work with them, resulting in better economic outcomes and improved productivity. The speaker concludes by noting that animal welfare is a growing concern politically and scientifically, as the United Nations has recognized its importance for the environment.
• 00:15:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Pesquisa aponta evolução na alimentação dos animais confinados | Planeta Campo," the speaker discusses the importance of providing comfortable living conditions for animals on farms, specifically focusing on thermal comfort. The speaker explains that animals modify their environment, and providing shade is essential for their well-being. The farm in question has 100% of its area covered in trees for animal shade, and they plant an average of 500 to 1000 new tree seedlings each year to maintain this coverage. The speaker emphasizes that respecting the soil is crucial for agricultural production and that these practices contribute to a sustainable farming cycle. The video also mentions various partnerships and organizations that support sustainable agriculture and production.
• 00:20:00 In this section of the YouTube video "Planeta Campo" titled "Pesquisa aponta evolução na alimentação dos animais confinados," the speaker discusses an upcoming event where he will be speaking about technological advancements in animal feeding from April 8 to 12 at a technological center. He encourages viewers to stay tuned to digital platforms for more information. The speaker then goes on to explain that recent research indicates an evolution in the feeding methods for confined animals, suggesting that technological innovations are playing a significant role in improving animal welfare and productivity in agriculture.
