Livestock farmers often make decisions in a challenging environment where objective data is scarce and noisy, while having to deal with climate changes, phenotypical differences between animals, as well as other factors. Objective planning based on animal growth data and productivity forecast still lacks instrumentation with robust and scalable technologies. Taking advantage of the increasingly common technologies for automated data collection, this research proposes the use of data assimilation techniques, in conjunction with animal growth data, to improve forecasts produced by animal growth models, thus enabling the planning of pastoral systems in a livestock system. The animal growth data was obtained using scales that automatically measure livestock weight several times a day, identifying individuals through RFID earrings. The results obtained are expected to contribute to the progress of the state of the art in the forecasting of animal growth models and to assist the management and maintenance of livestock production systems.  aBeef cattle  aGado de Corte  aAdministração da produção  aAssimilação de dados  aBovino de corte  aData processing  aDynamical systems  aFiltragem de Kalman  aFiltro de kalman  aIdentificação de sistemas  aKalman filtering  aProcessamento de dados  aProduction management  aRFID  aSistemas dinâmicos  aSystem identification
