IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE ESTRATÉGIAS DE GESTÃO NA PROPRIEDADE RURAL COM ASSISTÊNCIA CONTINUADA

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of Technical and Management Assistance (ATeG) from the National Rural Learning Service (SENAR) on a dairy farm assisted by the continued technical assistance program. The study investigated the impact of ATeG on productivity, management and milk quality indicators and on participating companies. The results showed that SENAR's ATeG plays an important role in increasing the productivity of the property's dairy herd, improving farm management and milk quality. Technical assistance provided the producer with access to the latest knowledge, technologies (roughage production) and good management practices (management software), thus increasing production efficiency. Furthermore, the management training provided by SENAR helped the producer with administrative organization, monthly cost control and short and long-term strategic planning, helping to manage dairy activities in a more efficient and sustainable way. In conclusion, SENAR's ATeG began to play a vital role in the development and professionalization of the dairy farm included in the study, which during the period of technical assistance saw an increase in production from 6,000 to 13,000 liters of milk per month and a decrease in CBT and CCS, thus contributing to improvements in the profitability and quality of the farm’s dairy sector.
