Abstract

This work was developed with the objective of reviewing the literature which are the main factors affecting the characteristics feed intake, digestibility of nutrients and food and feed efficiency of beef cattle in the tropics. These characteristics were chosen for study because they are extremely important for achieving good performance in weight gain. Livestock Brazilian cut is an activity characterized by grass production, allowing great variation in these characteristics among herds and regions. Thus, it is necessary to understand them to influence them to allow a more rapid body grow than getting more precocious animals, which provide greater profitability in the beef production chain.
