Resumo
Domestic animals are important for sustainable development and the maintenance of
the population in rural space. In Brazil an example of this relationship was the
reintroduction of Curraleiro cattle in Kalunga Historical and Cultural Heritage Site.
The aim of this study was to describe the results of the evolution of this herd, after
four years of reintroduction in region of the native Savannah. In 2007 was
reintroduced 81 cattle, when were contemplated ten families who received seven
animals each. At the same time was established a breeding center that housed ten
animals in order to define appropriate technologies for the region. In 2008 was
reintroduced more 73 cattle and the animals were distributed to seven other families,
each receiving between six and seven animals. Moreover, there was replacement of
cattle in families who have lost animals in 2007. The other cattle were destined for
the breeding center. Three families contemplated in 2007 gave back the animals to
the breeding center between 2008 and 2009. In 2008, out of 81 (100%) animals
distributed in the first stage, seven were born (8.7%) calves. The mortality rate of the
herd was 20.52% (18/88 animals). At the end of 2009 there were 104 live animals
distributed in 14 families and 39 cattle in the breeding center. In 2011, was registered
5.10% (2 / 39) calf’s birth in the breeding center and 25% (26/104) in the 14 families.
The mortality rate was 18.5% (24/130) of cattle among families and 64.10% (25/41)
in the breeding center. We conclude that the period of adaptation of animals, which
coincided with the low food availability, environmental conditions and management
were the determining factors for high mortality rate of the herd.
