Abstract

The creation of dairy cattle on pasture is more activity adopted by small farmers in Brazil, mostly it works almost without investment, so it is necessary to implement systems of pasture management that aims at decreasing the area deployment of pasture and conservation of closed forests that were once used for the formation of new pastures. It is also necessary to choose the best quality forage according to the system used and also with the requirements of the animals. The different types of grazing see being employed in an attempt to reduce production costs and without the occurrence of reduced milk production. With this same goal can make the addition of co-products from the agricultural industry so that they can assist in feeding management of dairy cows, aiming to provide protein sources that were previously discarded without employability, and that have now become a source sustainable feed.
