Texas A&M University Brazil Comparative Ruminant Production Trip

Texas A&M University Brazil Comparative Ruminant Production Trip TAMU Animal Science Study Abroad in Brazil This course will expose students to two contrasting and different scenarios of ruminant production in Brazil.

Ruminant animals have an unambiguous characteristic: they can convert human-inedible resources into animal products for human consumption. Globalization has imposed changes in economic and political arenas. Certain changes in the international agriculture have created new opportunities for efficient production of ruminants in different parts of the world. Brazil and the US together have the large

st commercial herd of ruminant animals in the world and different production systems. The group will visit Recife, Pernambuco to see forage growth systems along with learning about small ruminant production in the Northeast region of Brazil. They will also visit Pirassununga, São Paulo to evaluate how large ruminant systems work in the Southeast region of Brazil. This study abroad trip begins June 2 and ends June 19, 2012.
