DIAGNÓSTICO AGROPECUÁRIO DA PROPRIEDADE AMARALINA

Abstract

A livestock diagnosis was carried out by collecting data from the Amaralina property located in the municipality of Teófilo Otoni-MG. The work was conducted through technical views, with questions, notes and observations, in order to extract as much information as possible to outline the property's profile. The research consisted of a qualitative study, based on a descriptive approach and structured according to data sources collected in the field. With the information collected on the property, it was possible to observe strengths and weaknesses. Strengths: easy access, large area for breeding, large buyers in the region, abundance of water. Weaknesses: low professional qualifications; little formed pasture and pasture division, high farm topography making it difficult to use agricultural implements, pasture degradation; need for deposits to store chemicals, tools and animal feed (mineral and protein salt). When analyzing the results obtained, it was verified that Fazenda Amaralina offers lots of calves to the market from the IATF program, with excellent racial standardization and desired score for the market. Many points must be improved, others corrected and some implemented. However, there is an important need for technical monitoring in order to improve the efficiency, productivity and sustainability of the pasture-based livestock production system.
