Nositelj predmeta

Opis predmeta

Beef production is part of the livestock production sector, which makes a great diversity in production systems. This diversity refers to the different structure of the breed animals, different systems of cultivation, different quality of the final product customized preferences of consumers. In order to achieve the desired production and quality meat production must be accompanied by appropriate nutritional management, as one of the most important components of breeding beef cattle. Therefore, students in the context of this module to learn about the properties of cattle meat production, their specificities compared to other cattle production and nutritional needs of cattle for meat production. Students will learn the principles of evaluation of animal feed, and based on the natural features and the availability of food to choose the best nutritional models for a particular production. Throughout the module to handle all types and kinds of meat production by feeding breeding animals and offspring, feeding the meat production of calves to the feeding of the final category in fattening cattle. Furthermore, students will learn to independently develop the compound feed and meals for all the categories and types of production through of manual calculation and the computer program. Within the module will cover the environmental aspects of meat production, and the impact of cattle for meat production on the environment, and ways to this production through nutrition do ecologically as acceptable.
