| Popis: | The objective of the study was to design a strategy for the use of technological components by small cattle ranchers of the dual-purpose bovine production system in Sinaloa, Mexico, with the aim of improving their productivity. For the analysis and proposal of the differentiated strategies, the overall four-stage characterization proposed by Parsons was followed. Through the analysis of secondary sources and meetings held with the working group, a technology transfer scheme was designed for small cattle producers, which represent 67 % of the state total, having an average age of 51.5 ± 14.4 years, 21.4 ± 10.1 animal units (AU) and 26.9 ± 16.0 hectares devoted to livestock production. Cattle feeding is associated with three seasons during the year: the dry season, rainy season and residual moisture season, in which the use of corn and sorghum stubble, grazing of native vegetation and use of tropical deciduous forest play a relevant role. The process of productive stabilization is reached after 5 to 7 years of gradual implementation of technology. The differentiated strategies must be accompanied by technological components and specific public policy supports for each type of producer, with the aim of developing “tailored suits” and thus improving the conditions of the small cattle producers involved. |
