Summary of Produza mais leite utilizando a sombra das árvores como aliada

00:00:00 - 00:00:00

In the YouTube video "Produza mais leite utilizando a sombra das árvores como aliada" (Produce More Milk Using Tree Shadows as an Ally), researchers from Embrapa present the advantages of planting trees in pasture areas for dairy farming. Contrary to the previous belief that tree planting in pastureland was a wasteful practice, the Integrated Livestock-Forest Farming System (ILPF) has emerged as a sustainable agricultural production method. The shade produced by the trees positively impacts milk production and forage quality. According to Embrapa's research, cows in shaded areas produce 22% more milk and 4-6% higher extrasoic dehydrated milk fat content compared to cows in full sunlight. The quality of the forage also improves, with a 31% increase in crude protein content, and better nutrient cycling and organic matter degradation. Furthermore, cows in shaded areas exhibit improved reproductive performance, producing 15% more follicles and 1.8 times more oocytes. The shaded environment also provides a cooling effect, reducing animal surface temperature and improving reproductive indices. Additionally, the trees enhance cows' feeding behavior, resulting in a 2-5% decrease in body temperature and a 32% increase in rumination time for cows under shade. Overall, the ILPF system offers a more comfortable environment for cows, leading to increased milk production and improved reproductive performance.
