Abstract
The rotation grazing system is a form of management developed to ensure better efficiency in the use of forage in a particular pasture area. This study show some preliminary results about a pilot project to evaluate implementation of a rotational system with native pastures in a private farm in the Nhecolândia sub-region, Pantanal, MS. While the rotational system is a management practices recommended by Embrapa Pantanal, yet few studies are devoted to evaluate the performance of cattle with the adoption of this practice in native pastures of the Pantanal. This pilot study indicated that heifers reared in a rotative system had a better weight gain in relation to continuous system of anterior year.
