Resumen

SALAS GONZALEZ, José María; LEOS RODRIGUEZ, Juan Antonio; SAGARNAGA VILLEGAS, L. Myriam  y  ZAVALA-PINEDA, María Jesica. Technology adoption by producers participating in the livestock productivity enhancement scheme (PROGAN) in Mexico. Rev. mex. de cienc. pecuarias [online]. 2013, vol.4, n.2, pp.243-254. ISSN 2448-6698.

Adoption of new technologies decisively influences profitability and output of livestock raising businesses. Type of practices and their level of adoption by producers included in PROGAN owning more than 30 breeding cows were studied. The present study grades beneficiaries of PROGAN in accordance with their socioeconomic (schooling, income and infrastructure) and productive traits (animal health, feeding, genetics, overgrazing and overall farm management) and number and type of adopted practices. Producer data were adjusted through cluster analysis applying the Two Step Cluster method. Three main groups were identified, producers showing high, intermediate and low production indexes. The first two groups display a great number of adopted practices. Regarding income, three groups (high, intermediate and low) were identified too. Producers in the higher income brackets were those that adopted the greater number of new technologies, although none of them adopted the mandatory ten.

Palabras llave : Livestock production units; Profitability; Cluster.
