Resumo: |
In Peru, sheep farming is an important activity for smallholders, which breed these ruminants seeking the consumption and sale of subproducts. This study aimed to characterize the sheep breeders, their productive systems, as well as macroscopic and microscopic wool qualities, on flocks in the municipality of Ite, Tacna region, southern coast of Peru. In 2012, eight shepherds from Humedales and 24 smallholders from farms were interviewed, using a questionnaire. Also fleeces of wool were sampled on 20 creole sheep from Humedales, 20 creole sheep from farms, and six Hampshire Down crossbreds. Results evidenced two types of family sheep farming, according to environment and type of breeder, both cases dedicated to meat production with creole and crossbred sheep. It was verified a little technical assistance and government attention, empiric management and flocks presenting regular to low productivity. The wool of the three groups showed mostly short fibers, appropriated for industrial textile processing; however, creole sheep from Humedales presented longer fibers, tending to artisanal use. Wool fibers of creole sheep were entrefine and comfortable. In Ite, sheep farming is commercial or subsistence, but the producers can remain on market, because sheep meat is appreciated in the region and the breeding practiced since colonial times. Creole sheep showed certain productive advantages, in relation to crossbreds, although suffer absorbent crossbreedings, which can cause extinction risk at this locality. Is recommend the continuity of studies on Ite’s creole sheep, to conserve and exploring their unknown zootechnical qualities, aiming a sustainable sheep farming in southern Peru. |
