The prior adoption of intensive livestock production systems, a larger scale of production and greater access by cattle ranch to specialized information, including through their network of relationships, are among the determining factors for the adoption of SISBOV traceability and certification in farms of beef cattle in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo. This is the conclusion of the study of researchers of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA), the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of S\u00e3o Paulo (IFSP) and the Federal University of S\u00e3o Carlos (UFSCar) in S\u00e3o Carlos, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, published under the title \u201cAdoption of beef cattle traceability at farm level in S\u00e3o Paulo State, Brazil\u201d in Volume 47, Number 9 of 2017 of the journal Ci\u00eancia Rural.<\/p>\n

In order to identify the determinants in the adoption of traceability by cattle ranchers in the state, the researchers collected information from a sample of 32 producers who adopted and 52 who did not adopt the traceability certification for the European Union. The researchers used empirical studies on bovine traceability carried out at farms in Portugal and Taiwan, which present data on the applicability and\/or failure factors of the adoption of these measures (MONTEIRO; CASWELL, 2009) (LIAO, et al<\/em>., 2011). From the use of three binominal logit models, the researchers came to the factors of intensive livestock production system, high production scale, access to specialized information and network of relationships, represented by the class associations and groups of rural producers.<\/p>\n

Traceability is one of the tools used to control food quality and safety. The SISBOV certification is a guarantee mechanism for the adoption of traceability and controls within the standards demanded by importers of beef, like the European Union. Access to these markets and even the expansion of exported volume require the dissemination of these practices among cattle ranchers, which can be fostered by surveying the factors that lead to the voluntary adoption of these practices by cattle ranchers.<\/p>\n

Policy makers in their strategic actions to disseminate traceability and certification can use the results of the study. Rural producers, extension workers and consultants can also consider information and results in their strategic decisions.<\/p>\n

The traceability of beef origin is a requirement for some import markets. Research results show that capital-intensive livestock production system, high scale production, access to specialized information and high level of social capital increase the probability of voluntary adoption of beef cattle traceability at farm level. …<\/span> Read More →<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":52,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3,20,12],"tags":[192,21],"class_list":["post-296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-agricultural-sciences","category-cr","category-press-releases","tag-agronomy","tag-ciencia-rural"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/129"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":300,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296\/revisions\/300"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
