Abstract

This work was carried out between December 2011 and January 2012 through technical cooperation action between the Federal Institute of Pernambucan Sertao, Campus Ouricuri, and Association of Producer of Sheep and Goats of the Micro-region of Araripe (ACOCAMA in Portuguese), and aimed to evaluate the profile of goat and sheep farmers in the municipalities of Ouricuri-PE and Santa Filomena-PE associated with ACOCAMA. After a questionnaire as verification tool of production conditions and management applied by producers it could be seen that despite the productive association management techniques remain traditional and the main form of economic valuation was made through government programs such as PAA (Program Food Acquisition) and PNAE (National School Meals Program). Producers produce not only goats and sheep but also cattle and temporal crops, do not have specialized technical assistance and work with traditional management techniques.
