The 4th edition of the Livestock Route successfully concluded technical visits to four leading rural properties, presenting technological innovations aimed at sustainable cattle production in Tocantins to producers and technicians in the sector. The closing ceremony took place at Fazenda Santa F\u00e9 \u2013 Est\u00e2ncia RD, in the municipality of Santa F\u00e9 do Araguaia, in the northern region of the state, this Thursday, the 26th.<\/p>\n
The expedition is an initiative of the Government of Tocantins, through the State Secretariat of Agriculture and Livestock (Seagro), with the support of several partners in the agricultural sector. The objective is to promote integration among producers, present and encourage the use of sustainable technologies, and encourage the exchange of experiences and strategies to improve the productivity of Tocantins livestock.<\/p>\n

Sustainable livestock farming in Tocantins has advanced with the adoption of innovative production systems. One example is Fazenda Santa F\u00e9, which invested in high-tech confinement through the Compost Barn system, originally used in dairy farming but successfully adapted for beef cattle production.<\/p>\n
Compost Barn<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe Compost Barn is a system in which animals are kept in a shed covered with a thick bed of organic material, such as sawdust, rock dust, reactive phosphate, gypsum and biological compost. The animal waste is incorporated into the bed, generating a natural composting process that results in high-quality fertilizer.<\/p>\n
In addition, the system provides well-being for the animals, allowing free movement, access to water, food and a resting area. At Fazenda Santa F\u00e9, the environment also features classical music, which contributes to the comfort and reduction of stress for the animals.<\/p>\n
Measuring 120 meters long by 28 meters wide, the shed has the capacity to house up to 400 cattle, and is considered a true hotel for cattle, entirely based on sustainable practices.<\/p>\n
According to owner Roque Delorenzo Ribeiro, the system has proven to be highly efficient. \u201cIt is a modern structure that promotes animal welfare and provides excellent production results. We produce around 6 tons of compost per year and have an average profit yield of 22%,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Fazenda Santa F\u00e9 is also a partner of the Federal University of Northern Tocantins (UFNT) in the implementation of an Experimental Forage Unit, focusing on the Miyagi and Humid\u00edcula grass varieties. The research, which began in September 2024, is being conducted by master's students Ed\u00e9sio Almeida and Almeirinda Santos, from the Animal Science course. \u201cWe are confident in the results of the research. The compost used in the experiment comes from Compost Barn, which should bring significant gains in forage quality and, consequently, in animal performance\u201d, explained academic Almeirinda Santos.<\/p>\n
Closing<\/strong><\/h4>\nAt the end of the Livestock Route, Seagro\u2019s Agriculture, Agribusiness and Livestock Director, Jos\u00e9 Am\u00e9rico Vasconcelos, highlighted the progress made during the event. \u201cWe have concluded yet another edition of the Livestock Route with great success. Over the course of four days, we were able to experience valuable experiences, learn about cutting-edge technologies and strengthen the integration between producers, technicians and institutions. The initiative reaffirms the Government\u2019s commitment to promoting the sustainable development of livestock farming in Tocantins,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
