MINERALIZAÇÃO DE BOVINOS DE CORTE COM O USO DE ADITIVOS IONÓFOROS E NÃO IONOFOROS

Abstract

Livestock in Brazil has an important role in the economy with the commercialization of meat and milk. The creation of beef cattle represents a process in which success lies in promoting animals with successful development and growth. In this perspective, the objective of this study is to understand the supplementation process in the development process of this animal, and the consequences of the insertion of ionophore or non-ionophore additives in the potentiation of this process. A bibliographical survey was carried out in books, theses, dissertations of authors that version on this perspective, this with the objective of having the necessary theoretical support to understand about this theme. It is seen that supplementation properly in these animals tends to provide an adequate supply of nutrients for the animal, and how the insertion of mineral additive can reduce the age of slaughter and improve its performance, producing better quality carcasses. The insertion of ionophore additives such as Monensin and Salinomycin or non-ionophore additives such as Virginiamycin and Flavomycin, show promise in facilitating the development of animals, however, further study of the analysis of the effectiveness by the veterinary professional is necessary for the indication of these antibiotics in the supplementation of these animals, avoiding consequent negative effects when administering these additives.
