Comercialização de pintos de um dia de linhagem caipira pelo incubatório do estado do Acre

Abstract

Raising free-range chickens is an agricultural activity that has been growing in the market, as it has more consistent and tastier meat than factory chickens, as well as being economically viable and requiring less labor. It is also an alternative for the income and sustainability of a rural property, where poultry can be raised in small areas for consumption and sale. The aim was to quantitatively analyze the data from the hatchery in the state of Acre and the importance of family farmers receiving animals with genetic origin and adapted to the region. The methodology used was initially to categorize the data, with a thorough consideration, dividing it by batches, strains, marketing values, municipalities and mesoregions in the state of Acre. They were then organized into tables and graphs, so that the information contained in the hatchery's data could be better assimilated. The Hatchery is a sector of great interest to the poultry market, as it provides the power to acquire free-range chicks of lines that are highly adapted to the market, rustic and with good zootechnical indices. The marketing of day-old chicks has been a great stimulus for Acre's producers. The project has reached many municipalities and producers, and distribution in all regions has made the acquisition of day-old chicks of free-range strains accessible to the state's family farmers.
