Summary of Conhecendo a UFG - Confinamento Experimental de bovinos de corte

00:00:00 - 00:00:00

The University of Goias (UFG) YouTube video "Conhecendo a UFG - Confinamento Experimental de bovinos de corte" explores UFG's experimental confinement studies for beef cattle during dry seasons to enhance production through supplemental feeding. Although costly, confinement farming offers high profitability. UFG's project emphasizes efficiency, with animal supplementation at the hip being vital for farmers. Students from veterinary, technology, and agronomy courses participate in the project. Activities include animal selection for high feed efficiency for reproduction, focusing on animals that consume less but produce the same amount of meat or have a better conversion rate of food into meat. UFG collaborates with rural producers in the confinement experimental beef cattle project.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Conhecendo a UFG - Confinamento Experimental de bovinos de corte," the University of Goias (UFG) is discussed as conducting experimental confinement studies for beef cattle during dry seasons to improve production through supplemental feeding. Creating cattle in confinement is an expensive alternative but offers high profitability. The project requires efficiency, and animal supplementation at the hip is crucial for farmers. UFG's project involves graduate and post-graduate students from veterinary, technology, and agronomy courses. Activities include animal selection for high feed efficiency for reproduction, with a focus on animals that consume less but produce the same amount of meat, or those with a better conversion rate of food into meat. UFG partners with rural producers in the confinement experimental beef cattle project.
