Abstract

This work aims to characterize the profile of chicken and free-range chicken producer in the municipality of Conceição do Canindé, state of Piauí. The information was collected from associates or not from associations, through the application of a questionnaire, composed of questions related to the producer's profile. The results were analyzed according to the frequency of responses among the interviewed categories. The time of activity of these producers ranged from 4 to 5 years. The creation system adopted by 50% of the producers was the semi-intensive and the other 50%, the extensive system. However, sanitary control was not carried out by 100% of respondents. The main difficulties encountered in being a farmer's poultry producer in our region were: 50% for the price of feed, 30% for the lack of public policies, 10% for drought and 10% for the lack of skilled labor. 70% of production was destined for open markets, 20% for supermarket trade and 10% for school lunches. And, even with all the difficulties encountered in being a farmer's poultry production in the municipality of Conceição do Canindé, Piauí, 100% of respondents said they were satisfied with practicing this activity. The study allowed us to conclude that the profile of the farmer's farmer in the municipality of Conceição do Canindé, had a predominance of family labor, in which they produce the birds in the semiintensive and extensive system, selling chicken in the amount of R$ 25, 00 to R$ 35.00.
