Livestock
At Zambianco Group, we also dedicate ourselves to raising beef cattle, covering the breeding, rearing and fattening phases. Our commitment to excellence allows us to produce high-quality meat for the most demanding markets.
In the breeding phase, we use FTAI (Fixed Time Artificial Insemination) as a tool to ensure the improvement and genetic direction of our herd, aiming for animals with high production and carcass quality. In the rearing and fattening phases, we ensure that our animals receive the proper nutrition and the necessary health care for their development, thus ensuring the quality and the finishing of the final product.
Feedlot
Our feedlot has a static capacity of 1,200 animals, and we use sugarcane bagasse as bulk.
We use only quality raw materials in the fattening process, which guarantees the quality of the final product and the fattening results.
Outsourced Fattening
Our outsourced fattening process brings several benefits to the producer, such as the possibility of intensifying fattening, without the need for investment in infrastructure and capital, accelerating the fattening process and making younger finished animals available for slaughter, also anticipating the arrival of new animals to your rearing system.
The producer can also use this tool as a strategy in their planning for drought, where often the existing pasture is not enough for the maintenance and fattening of the animals.
Technology
Our processing operation is 100% automated, using the most up-to-date technologies on the market, managing batch by batch, reducing errors and ensuring process reliability and safety.

Business Modalites
Partnership
-
Considered the most conservative system, the animals are weighed upon arrival at the feedlot, and the cattle breeder is paid based on the entry weight of the lean cattle.
-
All subsequent expenses are due to the feedlot, as well as deaths or health problems.
-
The remuneration to the partner occurs after the animals leave for slaughter, according to the price per arroba of the fat cattle negotiated with the slaughterhouse.
-
It is also interesting for the producer who has a hight view of the market, since his entry price increases with the cattle in the feedlot.
1
Fixed-price daily rate systems (“boitel”)
-
This is the most common model found in this market, and cattle breeders pay a daily amount per animal, according to the weight range at entrance, and the breed standard (nelore, annealed, crossbreding and crossbred), with the amount being stipulated at the beginning of the operation, and not readjusted during the fattening cycle.
2
Arrobas Produced
-
In this model, the cattle breeder pays for the total arrobas produced within the feedlot, considering the slaughter weight, minus the entry weight.
3
Kilo of Dry Matter supplied
-
The cattle breeder only pays for the animals' feed consumption throughout the feedlot period, plus the daily operating cost. This gives the cattle breeder better control over their costs, as it is linked to the animals' consumption performance.
