Modelos integrados de produção: Perspectivas para uma pecuária de corte sustentável

Abstract

In the search for sustainable production models, we present the crop-livestock forest integration systems, an agricultural production system designed in a planned manner that seeks to explore the results of interactions in the soil- plant- animal compartments of areas that integrate agricultural, livestock and forestry activities, which seeks to recover and intensify the pasture areas so that animal production can be leveraged in a sustainable way, making the system productive and profitable. Objective was to present an experience lived at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí campus Cocal is a literature review on integrated production models: perspectives for sustainable beef cattle. It is knowing that the adoption of integrated models of agricultural production can contribute significantly to the intensification of productive systems, thus contributing to reduce deforestation, since the adoption of integration systems contributes to the recovery of degraded pastures through intercropping between forage and annual crops proving to be a model that makes it possible to recover soil fertility promoting greater productivity and quality of the pasture, reflecting greater weight gain for the animals, making it possible to reduce the age at which the animals are slaughtered. Furthermore, the introduction of the tree component provides shade for animals which contributes to the reduction of thermal stress, promoting well-being for animal, thus improving their performance. Animal production developed from a sustainable perspective can be achieved with the adoption of crop-livestock-forest integration systems, as it has the potential to increase animal productivity without the need to open new areas in addition to promoting the recovery of soil fertility of the which contributes to making the process productive and profitable and ensuring the sustainability of the activity
