IATF como estratégia para melhorar a eficiência reprodutiva em vacas primíparas

Abstract

The national herd, for the most part, is created extensively on pasture. Thus, despite a lower one of the world's production costs, on the other hand it has a fall in production quality. Farms producing calves in the category that has the most impact with this breeding system is the first calf cows, due to increased nutritional requirement, because they need to maintain, grow and still breast- feeding their young. To succeed in the reproductive management of this category, it is necessary to combine a good nutritional management to reproductive strategies thus enabling improvements in reproductive rates. The FTAI is an essential tool for improving reproductive efficiency in livestock, particularly in specific categories.
