Meta-Analysis of Multinutritional Blocks in Ruminants: An Analysis from the Perspective of Agribusiness
Abstract
Grazing ruminant livestock is an alternative for sustainable food production, in addition to being forage, the most economical food base for ruminants. However, the main problem with current livestock production systems in different regions of the world is recurrent droughts. Therefore, Multinutritional blocks (BMN) are a low-cost alternative, used as a protein energy and mineral supplement for livestock that graze dry forage during the dry season, thus improving the digestibility of pastures. The objective of this work was to analyze the scientific publications of the BMN from 2017 onwards and to see how research on multinutritional blocks has been directed. A bibliographic review was carried out on the Scopus platform and Google Scholar on the Internet, with the purpose of developing a meta-analysis, with as inclusion variables scientific articles that discussed multinutritional blocks in ruminants, such as supplementation for meat production in male bovines., female cattle, sheep, lambs, deer, carcass quality in lambs and kids, supplementation for milk production in cows, goats, yaks, and composition of multinutritional blocks. As exclusion variables, theses and information were not taken into account from the web, technical notes, popular articles, technical magazines, videos, interviews, and some other information that talks about BMN in non-ruminant species, and scientific articles published prior to 2017. It is concluded that more research should be carried out on BMN regarding meat production in grazing cattle, since Mexico is one of the eight most producing and consuming countries for beef worldwide, and cattle producers in the country are suffering from prolonged droughts caused by global warming.
