Abstract

The objective was to verify and describe the main weaknesses presented by a beef cattle production system and to organize the relevant aspects that should be altered to increase productivity through management tools. The data collected are results of a property, located in Acrelândia, Acre, in the period of June 2019., being collected from a semi-structured form, containing 152 questions. Responses were obtained through observation as well as by interview with the owner. Using the GUT matrix, the main weaknesses found, in descending order: sick animals together with healthy animals, lack of birth weight control and weaning and visual choice of bulls. Given the analysis of the factors presented, the application of short-term planning methods is favorable, allowing greater economic and productive efficiency in general.
