Characteristics of cattle breeders and dairy production in the southeastern and northeastern mesoregions of Pará state, Brazil

Abstract: The objective of this study was to characterize the dairy production systems of the southeastern and northeastern mesoregions of Pará state. A total of 112 questionnaires were administered on rural properties with dairy cow milk production in the municipalities of Ulianópolis and Irituia from April to May 2013. The activity was conducted mainly by men between 36 and 70 years of age. The education level was low, with 67% of the cattle breeders having incomplete basic education and 20.5% being illiterate.

“…Milk and calf production was the most frequent in dairy farms (85.5%), followed by milk, calf and fattening (9.1%), and exclusively milk (5.5%), which is why it is difficult for a local dairy farm to specialize in any one domain, although 67.3% of the producers received funding for their activities. Dantas et al (2016a) found similar data in a study conducted in the same mesoregion.…”

“…Farms had small areas for the cultivation of temporary and permanent crops that contribute to household food security (Table 1). Different results were observed by Dantas (2016a) in dairy farms in northeastern and southeastern regions of the state of Pará, where most of the farms have a total area of 50 to 100 ha. Only 65.5% of producers had a legal reserve area, which implies the need for public policies that support them in adopting measures such as the rural environmental registry (CAR), and reducing deforestation.…”

“…Diversos fatores contribuem para a baixa produtividade de leite no Pará, nas quais cita-se as politicas governamentais, que dificulta a bovinocultura leiteira aos pequenos agricultores, por meio de baixo incentivo de crédito rural, assistência técnica quase inexistente, inadequado manejo de pastagens, que culminam na baixa qualidade e valor nutricional das forrageiras oferecidas aos animais (MATOS; SANTANA, 2014; VALENTIM; ANDRADE, 2009), às instalações zootécnicas inadequadas, poucas pesquisas em melhoramento genético de rebanhos adaptados as condições climáticas na região e problemas sanitários (DANTAS et al, 2016).…”

“…Em um estudo realizado no Sul de Minas Gerais, Bruhn et al 2016 afirmam haver grande heterogeneidade no processo de produção, mas a maior parte do leite é produzida em pequenas fazendas que utilizam mão-de-obra familiar com tecnologias modernas, como inseminação artificial e ordenha mecânica. Sendo a produção leiteira de grande importância econômica por causa dos recursos humanos envolvidos nessa atividade, sua geração de renda e sua compatibilidade com a agricultura familiar (Dantas et al 2016).…”

“…Esta avaliação é fundamental para execução eficiente de diagnósticos capazes de apontar as fragilidades e potenciais dos sistemas de manejo adotados, pois, como salientam Dantas et al (2016), estudos que caracterizam os sistemas produtivos são importantes para entender as prioridades e realidade das propriedades, sendo instrumento de apoio para elaboração de políticas públicas de assistência técnica e extensão rural (ATER).…”
