Brazil is currently at the forefront of livestock farming, as it is a country whose climate favours the production of hardware in different locations and at different times of the year. It stands out as the largest commercial producer of cattle in the world, where the activity is one of the main factors responsible for the country's economic growth. The current Brazilian herd is approximately 209 million head of cattle, with pasture being used as the main source of food for these animals. The biggest problems in the exploitation of national livestock are related to the degradation of our pastures, which results in low quality and low productivity and consequently low support capacity. The main factors that cause this degradation are inadequate management practices, inadequate tillage and biotic problems such as attacks by insect pests.
