Factores Que Influyen en La Toma De Decisiones Para El Desarrollo De La Ganadería De Doble Propósito en Trópico Seco

Abstract

<p class="Default"><strong>Background</strong>. The farmer and his family member are the main actors in the decision-making process for production unit operation (PU), due to the extensive knowledge they have about the production strategies and dynamics. <strong>Objective</strong>. Analyze the main factors that intervene in the making and construction of decisions for PU operation in dry tropic conditions. <strong>Methodology</strong>. The information was obtained through a structured survey to farmers of 61 PU of dual-purpose livestock (DP). The PUs were stratified based on the number of Total Livestock Units (TLU): Stratum 1 = UP of ≥ 5 and ≤ 43 TLU (E1), Stratum 2 = PU of ≥ 44 and ≤ 87 TLU (E2) and Stratum 3 = UP with more than 88 TLU (E3). The work consists of three sections: i. an analysis of the activity current situation (structural and socioeconomic), using descriptive statistics and budgets by activity; ii. an analysis of the PU structural changes from 2008-2013-2018 and, iii. an analysis using the Likert Scale of the farmers opinions and objectives on the activity. <strong>Results</strong>. PUs are characterized by the small families presence, with 58-year-old farmers (65% have primary and secondary education). The main income (81.44%) comes from livestock sale and although higher income is observed in large PUs, the unit margin per ha<sup>-1</sup> and cow<sup>-1</sup> is higher in small PUs. The participation of the family is fundamental in the decision-making process and the main objective of the farmer is the well-being of the family group, care of the environment in which they develop and maintaining the PU structure. Smaller PUs are dynamic and enthusiastic about structural changes. <strong>Implications</strong>. The work set the guidelines of the PU and identified the factors that intervene in the decision-making process, the viability, dynamics and permanence of livestock in the dry tropics. <strong>Conclusion</strong>. The family is essential to help for the farmer in the decision-making process. mainly in the health and nutrition of the herd, as well as in the sale and commercialization of products and, the maintenance of the structure of the PU and care of the environment in which they develop is the main objective.

Productive potential and typology of the bean agroecosystem in the Papaloapan basin, M´exico

“…According to Figure 3, the variable with the greatest significant difference was that of the use of fertilizers (P0.0005). Based on the above, and considering the agronomic management shown in Table 4, described by the producers; using the SWAT model (Arnold et al, 1998;Neitsch et al, 2005;Narasimhan et al, 2005;Garg et al, 2011;Du et al, 2006;Akhavan et al, 2010;Guzmán et al, 2004) and implementing the methodology by Inurreta et al (2013), the potential crop yield in the Úrsulo Galván municipality was simulated, including the area of study under two fertilization scenarios (100% and 70% nitrogen application) during the 2011 -2020 period and later, through the Dobermann equation ( 2005), shown in Table 5, the efficiency of the nitrogen fertilization use (PFPN) was also analyzed. The obtained results are shown in Table 6.…”

La Ganadería Doble Propósito en Trópico Seco: Diversidad De Unidades De Producción Y Orientación Productiva

“…Por otra parte, los ingresos que generan algunos de los integrantes de la familia en los tres grupos observados, por la realización de trabajo a terceros, principalmente en las UPS y UPF, complementan el ingreso familiar y favorece la pluriactividad y diversificación de la ganadería como lo han destacado y Nájera-Garduño et al (2016). Mientras que Pérez-Torres et al (2021) indicaron que con esta tendencia, mejora la relación beneficio-costo (1.67), aunque Bartl et al (2009) resaltaron que este valor puede ser mayor en UP grandes, como se observó en el grupo de UPE, lo que demuestra la rentabilidad de la actividad ganadeara, como lo han mencionado Rebollar-Rebollar et al (2011). Esta tendencia se corrobora, por el IT y el MN promedio, que supero $78,000/año, lo que se traduce en un MN/día superior a $200, como se ha observado en trabajos similares en el sureste de México, con UP grandes (Vilaboa y Díaz, 2009).…”
