“…The results of this study are similar to those observed in other production systems of small ruminants practiced in America. Studies carried out in Argentina (ARIAS; ALONSO, 2002), Mexico (PÉREZ et al, 2010;HERNÁNDEZ et al, 2011;RODRÍGUEZ et al, 2011), Chile (MUJICA et al, 2015, Venezuela (MORANTES et al, 2008) and the Dominican Republic (VALERIO et al, 2009) show that the activity is practiced mostly by small producers with a low level of education (fewer than ten years of study), high average age of the producer (over 45 years), with a tendency to a low level of organization in the farms, having the practice as a secondary business with the exception of the Dominican Republic, where it is considered the main business of the producers. The herds are composed of mixed herds of goats, sheep, and cattle, predominantly of extensive or grazing and semiextensive systems, without reproductive control and with few sanitary practices such as vaccination against diseases and treatment against internal and external parasites.…”

Breeding of goats and sheep is an important activity in northeast Brazil, contributing to economic and social development of this region. Thus, the objective of this study was to characterize goat and sheep rearing and breeding in the central-western region of the State of Paraíba, northeast Brazil. The study area included Borborema and mesoregions of the backlands of the state, represented by 127 municipalities in an area of 38.293 km 2 , with density of goats and sheep at 12.9 and 8.27 head/km 2 , respectively. A total of 62 farms belonging to five municipalities of the Borborema mesoregion and four municipalities of the Sertão mesoregion were surveyed. Epidemiological surveys were conducted in the farms, and questionnaires sought information on the economic, productive, and social aspects of the farm owners and the farms. The results allowed the classification of goat and sheep production systems in the semi-arid Paraíba as a family system and of subsistence, for farmers' own consumption and for local trade, with low technology use and herds with up to 100 animals. The farmers' level of education was low, and the investments and technical assistance for the development of breeding activity in the region were insufficient and/or inadequate. Thus, it was essential to conduct an economic study on the farms to assess the actual economic and financial status of breeding activity and the subsequent returns. It is suggested that these aspects be taken into account when planning livestock development policies, especially in terms of finance and technical assistance, as well as in the implementation of strategies to control commonly occurring diseases in the region, aimed at combating agents, environmental control, and protection of susceptible livestock. , respectivamente. No total foram visitadas 62 propriedades pertencentes a cinco municípios da Mesorregião da Borborema e quatro da Mesorregião do Sertão. Nas propriedades foram aplicados questionários epidemiológicos, os quais buscavam informações sobre aspectos econômicos, produtivos e sociais dos proprietários/propriedades. Os resultados obtidos permitem classificar o sistema de produção de caprinos e ovinos no semiárido paraibano como familiar e de subsistência, para consumo doméstico e comércio local, com baixo uso de tecnologia e rebanhos com até 100 animais. O nível de escolaridade dos criadores foi considerado baixo, bem como os investimentos e assistência técnica insuficientes e/ou inadequados para o desenvolvimento da atividade na região. Dessa forma, um estudo econômico nas propriedades para conhecimento da real situação econômico-financeira da atividade e o retorno que as mesmas poderão proporcionar a partir da sua organização se torna necessário. Sugere-se que tais aspectos sejam levados em consideração quanto ao planejamento de políticas de desenvolvimento pecuário, especialmente quando relacionados a financiamento e assistência técnica, bem como na implementação de ações no controle das doenças mais frequentes na região, direcionadas ao combate...

“…En este sistema (extensivo de producción), predomina la baja tecnifi cación y se practica el sobrepastoreo, como lo afi rman Valerio (2009), Valerio (2010 y Bedotti et al (2007), donde los caprinos aprovechan la vegetación nativa de la región. En partes altas de la región (desde el punto de vista orográfi co), se encuentran ecosistemas pino-encino y en las áreas más cáli-das pastos, hierbas arbustivas, leguminosas, propias de la selva baja caducifolia existentes en la región sureña de la Entidad, que son las que prefi eren las cabras.…”

“…No obstante, debido a que en este sistema de producción, no existe control de rebaños, y que el macho todo el tiempo convive con las hembras en agostaderos, como le mencionó Bedotti et al (2007), Valerio et al 2010, en este trabajo se omite, como costos variables, el costo de preñez, alimentación de la madre durante la gestación (150 días) y del cabrito del nacimiento al destete (60 días), alimentación predestete, agua de abrevaderos, sales minerales, vitaminas, desparasitantes externos y costos por fl ete. Como costos fi jos, el trabajo del pastor, renta de potreros y cuotas de asociación.…”

“…Con ello, la ganancia neta por animal fue US$ 62,5, similar a lo encontrado por Hernández et al (2011), Valerio (2009), Valerio (2010) y Jeannite (2011; en tanto que la relación benefi cio-costo se ubicó en 8,1, lo que indicó que por cada dólar invertido el productor habría percibido (bajo el supuesto de que realizó la transacción), US$ 7,1 (Cuadro 2).…”

“…Este porcentaje difiere de lo encontrado en la región noreste de Repúbli-ca Dominicana (Valerio et al 2009) ya que se menciona un porcentaje para este mismo canal de 70%. Un canal más corto es cuando el productor vende su producto (30%) al acopiador y éste último al consumidor final.…”
