Sistema de produção de leite a pasto

Abstract

The aim of this review was to evaluate the production system the pasture of dairy cows, milk production on pasture, showing average values of production (kg / cow / milk) in different pastures of tropical and temperate. Also sought to show the management strategies adopted to the pastures, to ensure a higher milk production. According to the review, the pasture managed of correct form have allowed considerable improvements in productivity levels. It was made comparisons between system the pasture and confinement systems, showing the economic aspects of these two systems. Studies confirm that the use of pasture can reduce the milk production cost, besides causing a minor negative impact on the environment than the confined systems. Thus, we concluded that milk production on pasture has a better economy when compared to confined systems.
