Abstract. Beef production systems can be broadly classified as extensive, including grazing, agrotechnical, mixed and intensive. Extensive beef production systems typically include grazing systems for cows and calves, as well as pasture or feedlot fattening. Cattle in grazing systems are influenced by environment, therefore, it is necessary to select animals of specific genotypes that are better adapted in each natural and climatic habitat. These systems may require additional feed additives. More intensive systems can maintain greater control over nutrition and the environment and be used for beef and veal production and for fattening more often to ensure product quality and desirable characteristics. An analysis of foreign and domestic literature shows that, there is a constant improvement in beef cattle genetics, as well as the introduction of more efficient feeding methods, a reduction in fattening period and an increase in meat production per animal in more advanced and developing sectors of the meat industry. These methods will have to improve reproductive and growth efficiency, carcass and beef quality, as well as animal welfare and environmental impacts.

Key words: beef cattle, growing, pastures, fattening, grazing, beef cattle breeds
