Journal Title: Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
The multiple mineral mixture is an animal supplementation technique that allows to accelerate the weight gain of ruminants, potentiate the use of forages and to meet the ruminal microbial demands of the animal. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate aspects of the use of multiple mineral mixture in beef cattle feed by farmers. To this end, it was applied structured forms to 32 rural producers in the states of Minas Gerais, Goiás and Tocantins, it was carried by means of field research, thus obtaining aspects regarding the use of the product. The results of the research indicate that the majority, 71.88%, use grazing as a form of management, 50% of respondents adopt their use, 84.22% use it in the dry season and 68.75% use it as ingredient maize and soybean meal. Therefore, it is concluded that it is necessary to disseminate the usage information, as well as to encourage the implementation of techniques that improve the use of the mineral multiple mixture.
