Technologies management by meat beef production: cow-calf

Abstract

The technological evolution in the offspring was notorious and efficient in those systems that used the technology available on economically sustainable bases. However, in most cases, there was a need for long learning and validation of the technology until its recognition and applicability. In this way, little was discussed about costs and economic results and, even more, the systemic impact of each technology. Therefore, over the years, the set of techniques available to production has been mastered with certainty, even though their economic results were unknown, which resulted in disbeliefs about certain strategies for breeding livestock. On the other hand, due to the complexity of the relationships between all the variables that involve the offspring, many technologies produced improvements in intermediate production processes. This does not allow the user to recognize an answer in the total production and, therefore, to doubt or question its applicability. Add to this that it creates, as it is an activity of low biological efficiency and profitability, largely limits the more widespread use of technologies, which in a way does not allow a more intense exchange of information between producers.
