| Because of the importance of the dairy activity in Brazil and the recognized call for increasing domestic production, the objective of this work was to verify technical efficiency levels in three alternative production systems, using the stochastic production frontier model. Factorial analysis was used to evidence the heterogeneity of resources applied to the activity, which allowed the 11 original quantitative variables to be synthesized in only three characteristic management variables - "machine use", “facility use" and "quality of the herd". Three additional variables, characteristic of the professionalization of the activity, were considered: “specialization", "scale" and "average cost". Both categories of variables allowed the levels of technical... |

| The objective of this study was to characterize and to analyze the room for manoeuvre in time in dairy production systems (DPS). Two interviews were conducted in twenty DPS in the Northern region of Paraná, Brazil, with the following objectives: to know the management and practices involving the herd, the land area and the commercialization; and to qualify and evaluate the work organization. In order to build the variables, the repertory grid method was used, and for the typology, the graphic methodology of Bertin adapted to small samples was used. The results showed that the room for manoeuvre in time of the DPS, quantified in hours available per year, varied between the farmers and was related to routine work and seasonal work durations, as well as the... |
