Resumo

The current goal of cattlemen and academics focuses on maximum production per animal. This results in the practice of selective grazing together with extraneous inputs (i.e. feed; antibiotics; chemicals) and the breeding of “productive” (high requirement) genotypes. This is neither ecologically nor economically sustainable.
