“…The surveillance of reproductive performance is one of the major concerns involved in breeding herds. Although reproductive performance targets for Brazilian dairy cattle herds have been addressed (Leite et al 2001, Grossi & Freitas 2002, Guimarães et al 2002, Portela et al 2002, Val et al 2004, more comprehensive studies are necessary to define with higher reliability their acceptable ranges. This need becomes more obvious when considered in the context of the country's large size and agricultural diversity as currently observed in Brazil.…”

Over the last decades, the emphasis on the health of dairy cows has changed from an individual to a herd level. In this scenario, the role played by the recording system and its interpretation by veterinarians has gained primordial importance. The records of productive and reproductive performance and of sanitary status from a southern Brazilian dairy cattle herd have been presented and discussed. The period of study was 2000-2009. Mean values per lactation period were 349D 8436M 290F 275P 201SCS (D: days in lactation, M: kg of milk yield, F: kg of fat, P: kg of protein and SCS: somatic cell score in 1000 cells/ml of milk). Major indexes of reproductive efficiency included age at first calving (31 months), services per conception (2.1), intercalving interval (428 days), calving to conception interval (146 days), mean annual rates of parturitions (76.2%), fetal losses (9.8-19.0%), and stillbirths (3.6%), apart of voluntary waiting period (94 days). Main information on sanitary status of the herd was associated with the mean prevalence of common disorders of dairy cattle such as anaplasmosis (29.8%), mastitis (27.8%), digital diseases (26.3%), ovarian cysts (21.3%), placental retention (19.7%), postpartum uterine infections (10.6%), and calf diarrhea (23.7%) and pneumonia (16.8%), among others. In addition, culling reasons (low reproductive performance [56.3%] and udder/mastitis problems [33.6%]), causes of cattle deaths (anaplasmosis [16.4%] and leukosis [11.4]), and the impact of cattle diseases such as tuberculosis, leukosis, and neosporosis on the herd have also been presented and succinctly discussed. Numbers between brackets represent rates accumulated in the 10-year period.

“…Silva (2010) estudou uma comunidade no norte de Minas Gerais e observou que os agricultores familiares possuíam como fonte de renda as tranferências públicas, além da produção de leite e lavoura. A atividade de produção de leite, embora tenha permitido, no decorrer dos anos, a sobrevivência e permanência de muitas famílias no meio rural, vivenciou momentos de estagnação e descapitalização dos produtores (PORTELA et al, 2002), e por isso, a sustentabilidade da agricultura familiar parece ser cada vez mais limitada. Essas limitações decorrem da modernização das atividades agrícolas e tem como consequência a exclusão dos produtores familiares que não conseguem acompanhar esse padrão tecnológico.…”

Milk production in the middle region of northern Minas Gerais state is the lowest in the state. However we noticed a considerable growth in recent years. It is important to conduct socioeconomic and generators technicians guiding information for the adoption of policy measures to boost production diagnostics. The aim of this study was to diagnose the production of milk in 30 family dairy farms in Juramento (15) and Montes Claros (15) city, Northern Minas Gerais; by a case study, semi-structured questionnaires that included information about general and sanitary handling, socioeconomic characteristics and also surveyed the use of agro-ecological practices in milk production. A systemic approach was used in the application of questionnaires. Out of the 30 properties, 86% have the dairy activity as the main one, followed by 14% of mixed activities. They have low to average technology and most farmers have another source of income in addition to milk production. The absence of agro-ecological practices in the production process was observed in 100% of the properties. It was concluded that milk production in family farms is very widespread, and the main characteristics are of properties with general and sanitary handling problems; the socioeconomic characteristics are of families with low to average income and dependent on the milk production to complement it. Regarding the agro-ecological practices, it can be concluded that they were rarely used in the properties surveyed.
