It analyzes how integrated practices—such as adapted genetic management, nutrition with local resources, hormone-free reproductive management, and natural parasite control—improve sustainability, resilie...
The 166 kg represents the average initial live weight of 6.5-month-old Holstein heifers under tropical conditions in El Salvador (Corea et al., 2020).
The 124 g LWG/kg DM represents the average feed conversion with 360 g/kg CP of RUP, being 10 g LWG/kg DM higher than with 260 g/kg CP of RUP (Corea et al., 2020).
The 151 g/kg DM represents the crude protein content in cowpea hay, being 95.5 g/kg DM higher than pangola grass hay (55.5 g/kg DM) (Corea et al., 2020).
The 900 g/day represents the average live weight gain in heifers fed cowpea hay, being 90 g/day higher than those with pangola grass hay (Corea et al., 2020).
From 0.12 to 0.29 head per hectare increased the cattle slaughter rate per unit of grazing area in Mato Grosso between 2001-2013 (Garrett et al., 2018).
39 out of 141 municipalities in Mato Grosso (Brazil) maintained livestock activity during the study period (Garrett et al., 2018).
