The objective of this review was to approach the intensive pasture termination system (IPT) as a possible alternative for the development of beef cattle in the semiarid region. Pasture are still the cheapest and most practical way in livestock as a source of food for cattle. In semi-arid regions, seasonality causes forage productivity to be low, causing a nutritional deficit in the animals. Strategies and technologies are developed to promote alternatives that supply nutritional deficiencies with forms of supplementation. One of them, TIP, brings the concept of confinement to the pasture, bringing good results and low structural and operational cost.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
