Technical Analysis of a Family Dairy Property in Caldas/Mg

Abstract

A pecuária leiteira é fundamental para geração de riqueza e renda em propriedades familiares.Conhecer indicadores de eficiência garante melhoria dos parâmetros de qualidade, produção e rentabilidade da atividade, fundamental para o desenvolvimento da cadeia produtiva do leite. Esse estudo teve por objetivo analisar o desempenho de uma propriedade leiteira familiar por meio dos indicadores zootécnicos e verificar se esses indicadores podem contribuir com o desenvolvimento da atividade em questão. Foi realizada uma pesquisa classificada como estudo de caso responsável por analisar dados zootécnicos primários dos anos de 2010 a2017. Os resultados indicaram que a composição do rebanho obteve modesto aumento na quantidade de animais. Houve melhoria dos indicadores zootécnicos que apresentaram índices elevados. Os indicadores zootécnicos demonstraram relevância para análises da atividade leiteira, fundamentais para o desenvolvimento de práticas gerenciais dentro da propriedade em estudo.

A Model of Intensification of Dairy Production as an Alternative for the Modernization of Family Farming in the Tropics

“…In this study, the decrease in land occupation combined with the increase in the number of LC resulted in 1.66 lactation cow per hectare (LC.ha 1 ), a value higher than 0.70 LC.ha -1 reported by Pereira et al (2016), and higher than 1.18 LC.ha -1 found by Bassotto et al (2018). These authors confirmed that the results obtained in that study were satisfactory for the number of LC per area.…”

“…The search for a production scale, however, is a preponderant factor in keeping a viable milk production system as, in addition to the volume produced is directly related to the income earned in the activity, it is also the item over which, proportionally, and the farmer has the greatest capacity for influence when compared to the price of the milk. When analyzed economic forecasts on dairy farms in FF as strategic tools for evaluating livestock development, Bassotto et al (2018) found that the milk yield is responsible for maintaining profitability, providing the long-term continuity of productive activities. Table 2 shows the evolution of the main zootechnical indicators in the two productive cycles.…”

“…In the economic development process, there are changes in the way agricultural products are produced and destined for sale because of the growing technical-economic integration and subordination of the primary sector to the urban-industrial sectors (BACCARIN, 2011).…”

Characterization of dairy farms in a family-farm system in the municipality of Senador Guiomard, Acre State, Western Amazon

“…Among the farms, the average area intended for dairy activity was 32 ha (Table 3). The mean productivity reached 873 (L/ha/year), similar to the finding by Silva et al (2011) in Pernambuco State (846.42 L/ ha/year) but much lower than those of Moraes et al (2016) in Rio de Janeiro State (13,085.59 L/ha/year) and of Bassotto et al (2018) in the south end of Bahia State (2,146.2 L/cow/year). Lopes et al (2010) observed that smaller farms (ha) achieved higher yields (5,896.20 L/ha/year), while larger ones had worse results (830.66 L/ha/year).…”

“…As for production per cow (liters/cow/day), the average was 4.0 L, like the average found by Assis (2014) (4.2 liters/ cow/day) in the region of Tarauacá, Acre State. However, lower than the values obtained in other regions of Brazil, namely in Minas Gerais State (13.11 L/cow/day) by Bassotto et al (2018), in Rio de Janeiro State (12.15 L/cow/day) by Moraes et al (2016), and in the central region of Paraná State (6.04 L/ cow/day) by Battaglini et al (2013). Notably, all the studies cited were under pasture production systems.…”
