Análisis de la función de producción de leche en el sistema bovinos doble propósito en Ahome, Sinaloa

The objective was to estimate a production function that describes the relationship between production and milk production factors in the dual purpose bovine system in the municipality of Ahome, Sinaloa. With information from 74 production units a Cobb Douglas production function was estimated. The model obtained was Y=0.78. Of the three variables analyzed, only the agricultural area and the number of adult cows were significant ( P <0.05). The coefficient of determination obtained was 55.03 %. The use of the agricultural area, as well as the number of adult cows present a low marginal productivity, so that milk production shows decreasing returns to scale. It is concluded that under the current combination and use of resources, the production of bovine milk in northern Sinaloa is inefficient and the total product is below the potential that could be obtained with improvements and use of technology in food and genetic improvement of livestock.

Gestión de conocimiento y uso de innovaciones en sistemas agropecuarios: una aplicación en la cadena ovinos, Estado de México

espanolThe aim of this study was to analyze the process of knowledge management and innovation in the chain of sheep in Villa Victoria, State of Mexico. Through participate diagnostically and network analysis information from 63 producers was analyzed to identify the problems and propose strategies implemented innovations and capacity building to increase the use of technologies. The results indicate that after the intervention of technical agent peer learning decreased, causing greater participation of technicians, one to increment in the density network and INAI in the categories of capacity building, health and nutrition. It is concluded that the intervention of technical agent articulated innovation network and increase using innovations. MultipleEl objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el proceso de gestion de conocimiento e innovacion de la cadena ovinos en Villa Victoria, Estado de Mexico. Mediante diagnostico participativo y analisis de redes se analizo informacion de 63 productores para identificar la problematica e innovaciones implementadas y proponer estrategias de desarrollo de capacidades para incrementar el uso de tecnologias. Los resultados indican que tras la intervencion del agente tecnico el aprendizaje entre pares disminuyo, originando una mayor participacion de los tecnicos, un incremento en la densidad de la red y del INAI en las categorias de desarrollo de capacidades, sanidad y nutricion. Se concluye que la intervencion del agente tecnico articulo la red de innovacion e incremento el uso de innovaciones
