Zootecnista como desenvolvedor de novas tecnologias: aplicativo para balanceamento nutricional de bovinos em confinamento

Abstract

Brazil is one of the main protagonists in the production and marketing of beef in the world, a response to a strong development process that has raised productivity to technological levels, consequently maintaining its position and market extension. Technological improvement has consolidated, over the past decades, as one of the main factors that ensured the growth of the production system. The diet of animals housed in the production system is a critical factor, capable of bringing quantitative as well as qualitative consequences, develop and enable tools able to absorb nutritional needs for greater animal productivity that bring economically more viable panoramas is the reality of the beef-type cattle production sector. It is in this search for development of intelligence and automation that this work aims to combine cross-cutting skills, zootechnical skills, for the development of a practical and functional application, capable of generating basic results for nutritional balance, energy, protein, water and minerals requirements.
