Abstract

Animal nutrition is a key component in the efficiency of livestock production systems. The main objective was to provide technical support in nutritional management in the different productive stages, implementing a nutritional plan in an efficient manner and according to the requirements of the animals. In beef cattle, proper grazing management, strategic supplementation such as corn silage are key tools for the use of available resources. Pasture rotation, based on controlled periods of occupation and rest, improves forage quality, favors grass recovery and promotes a more balanced consumption, which translates into higher animal productivity and system sustainability. In addition, forage production per m2 was identified by means of a gauging, seeking to take advantage of the forage in order to have a relative consumption. Additionally, supplementation with corn silage provides an energy source, especially useful in times of pasture shortage or during critical phases of animal development. The combination of a rotational grazing system with a diet supplemented with silage significantly increases daily weight gain (DWG) in cattle.
