Abstract

The general objective of this work is to analyze the implementation of the Cattle Breeding Program for Family Livestock in the municipality of Uruguaiana, RS, in the period from 2017 to 2018, based on Emater-RS/Ascar's institutional proposal, which is responsible for the official technical assistance service, rural and social extension of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. This program is implemented by Emater's municipal office, considering the importance of the representativeness of the 109 ranchers of this segment and the forms of interaction of actors and institutions in the mechanisms that involve the procedures of technical orientation. Therefore, this program had the multicenter approach of promoting sustainable rural development in the family sphere, relating the cultural part to the economic system: population, agriculture, soil, environment, production units and rural organizations, as an answer to the general objective. This process, involving primarily the genetic improvement of beef cattle, can occur through the crossing between the different locally available breeds of cattle, use of selected semen, disposal and purchase of animals, achieving gains in performance, efficiency and quality. For a better contextualization of the multicenter approach, responding to the specific objectives, The institutions participating in the process of implementing the program were identified, as well as their contributions so that interventions could occur and the difficulties encountered in the implementation process. Lastly, After analyzing the data, we could see the importance of developing extension devices for the correct execution of market standards and technical norms for raising beef cattle.
