O estágio decorreu na Herdade dos Sobrais, localizada em Santo Aleixo da Restauração,
no concelho de Moura. Teve como objetivos principais avaliar as alterações decorrentes
da implementação do maneio holístico (MH) nesta exploração de bovinos de carne, a
partir do ano 2020, e fazer um inquérito a produtores pecuários em MH, na Península
Ibérica. Acompanharam-se as alterações efetuadas na Herdade dos Sobrais, na transição
do maneio tradicional para maneio holístico. Realizaram-se 12 inquéritos on-line, tendo-
se questionado sobre a caraterização do produtor e da exploração, as razões da escolha
do MH, metodologias praticadas e resultados obtidos. Com a implementação do MH, na
Herdade dos Sobrais, o no de cercas aumentou de 8 para 218, a área média de cada
cerca passou de 40,75ha para 1,5 ha, o tipo de cercas alterou de malhaço para cercas
elétricas, o encabeçamento aumentou de 0,28 CN/ha para 0,43 CN/ha, o renovo de
sobreiro e azinheira aumentou, a utilização de desparasitantes nos bovinos diminuiu, os
custos com a alimentação dos animais diminuíram. Os resultados dos inquéritos estão
globalmente de acordo com o que se verificou na Herdade dos Sobrais: os empresários
que responderam são maioritariamente jovens (entre 30 e 49 anos), concluíram o ensino
superior, aumentaram o no de cercas, com cercas de menor área, passaram a usar cercas
elétricas, o encabeçamento aumentou, a docilidade dos animais aumentou, o tempo
necessário para controlo diário dos animais diminui, a fertilidade dos solos aumentou, o
renovo de sobreiro e azinheira aumentou, a utilização de desparasitantes diminuiu e os
custos com a alimentação dos animais também diminuíram. Pode concluir-se que os
resultados obtidos, revelam já benefícios, mas ainda não se atingiram em pleno os
resultados esperados pela implementação do Maneio Holístico, consequência do
reduzido tempo de implementação, tanto na Herdade dos Sobrais, como nas
explorações que responderam ao inquérito.
The internship took place at Herdade dos Sobrais, located in Santo Aleixo da Restaura- ção, in the municipality of Moura. Its main objectives were to evaluate the changes re- sulting from the implementation of holistic management (MH) in this beef cattle farm, from the year 2020, and to carry out a survey of livestock producers in MH, in the Iberian Peninsula. The changes made at Herdade dos Sobrais were followed, in the tran- sition from traditional management to holistic management. Twelve online surveys were carried out, asking about the characterization of the producer and the exploration, the reasons for choosing the MH, the methodologies used and the results obtained. With the implementation of MH, at Herdade dos Sobrais, the number of fences increased from 8 to 218, the average area of each fence increased from 40.75ha to 1.5 ha, the type of fences changed from mesh to electric fences, the stocking increased from 0.28 CN/ha to 0.43 CN/ha, cork oak and holm oak shoots increased, the use of deworming agents on cattle decreased, and the cost of animal feed decreased. The results of the surveys are globally in line with what happened at Herdade dos Sobrais: the entrepreneurs who responded are mostly young (between 30 and 49 years old), have completed higher education, increased the number of fences, with smaller fences, started to use electric fences, the number of people increased, the docility of the animals increased, the time needed for daily control of the animals decreased, soil fertility increased, the growth of cork oak and holm oak increased, the use of dewormers decreased and the costs with animal feeding also decreased. It can be concluded that the results obtained already re- veal benefits, but the results expected from the implementation of Holistic Management have not yet been fully achieved, as a result of the reduced implementation time, both at Herdade dos Sobrais and on the holdings that responded to the survey.
