Abstract: Milk production in Brazil is complex, as it depends on a wide base of small-scale producers employing diverse strategies. In recent years, the supply chain has undergone considerable structural changes, increasing the need for knowledge and characterization of milk-production activities. Therefore, the objective proposed in this study was to characterize rural properties according to various aspects of production in order to identify the dairy cattle production systems of Western Paraná. To this end, 735 inter… Show more

“…It indicates lower productivity in that region, when compared to the present research. Lange et al (2016) analyzed 735 DPS in the western portion of Paraná, showing an average of 15 cows in milk and 242 liters per day, which indicates a level of productivity similar to this research. Zimpel et al (2017) studied 55 DPS in the western part of the State, with an average area of 33 hectares and 37 cows in milk, indicating a higher level of productivity.…”

“…Education has a positive correlation with variables that determine dairy farming success, including income (MEDINA et al, 2015). Thus, more educated farm operators tend to adopt milking hygiene practices, as they understand that hygiene influences milk quality and, consequently, financial returns (ECKSTEIN et al, 2016;LANGE et al, 2016).…”

“…The questionnaire gathered information on structural, technological, and production parameters as well as on the level of institutional adequacy of dairy farms (BRITO et al, 2015a(BRITO et al, , 2015bLANGE et al, 2016;ZIMPEL et al, 2017a). Sociodemographic characteristics of farm operators were also analyzed (Table 1).…”

“…However, these studies were conducted only for the states of Minas Gerais (LEMOS et al, 2003) and Rio Grande do Sul OLIVEIRA, 2011;MARION FILHO et al, 2012, 2015 as well as for southern Brazil (FERNANDES et al, 2004) and Western Paraná (LANGE et al, 2016). In this context, the need for data that provide a more detailed characterization of the spatial distribution of the microregions specialized in milk production in Paraná State is clear.…”
