Abstract

The sheep industry is considered one of the activities developed in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The success of the operation depends on the dedication, work ability and knowledge necessary to meet all stages and purposes of creation. The present study was conducted in a private rural enterprises, divided into three production called A, B and C, located in the locality of the 3rd sub in the municipality of Don Pedrito / RS. A case study was used to assess the state of the sheep industry activity, aiming to meet the needs of production units, covering the period January 2013 to December 2013. The overall objective of this study is to develop proposals specific to sheep production, taking into consideration the current management, proposing better utilization of productive areas for exploration of other cultures and species. This work is to measure and organize the activity of the sheep industry in a company located in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul region campaign and describe clearly and objectively the main aspects related to sheep for the purpose of consumption on farms. The proposals will be based on reproductive health, nutrition management and especially the structure of the sheep herd, and thereby develop a projection for the more efficient production of sheep so that contributes to the increase in overall profitability of rural enterprise. Pode analisar um crescimento desordenado do rebanho durante o período, portanto, considerar que o uso excessivo dos campos, como o agricultor trabalha com altas taxas de lotação para ambas as espécies (bovinos e ovinos), portanto, pode ser facilmente notar o baixo retorno econômico that breeding sheep shows. A little flock of efficiency presented in this case study highlights the importance of adaptation of production systems in pursuit of a better reproductive health and nutritional outcome of the flock. Furthermore, the necessary presence of a planning in rural units allows some proposals and recommendations for the proper organization of the activity.
