Análise do discurso em reunião para o registro genealógico de bovinos curraleiro Pé-duro no Brasil

Abstract

The Curraleiro Pé Duro cattle breed was officially recognized by the Brazilian government in 2012 after an important meeting that occurred in 2011. Researchers, farmers, politicians, government employees and members of two breeders association (one from the State of Piauí and another from the State of Goiás) participated in this meeting. The meeting was tape recorded and content analysis was carried out to identify, sort out and quantify the importance of topics and subtopics discussed during the event. Three categories emerged: 1) Difficulties to obtain a genealogic register (83.88% of all Elementary Context Units (UCEs); 2) Historic aspects (10.60%); 3) Expression of personal feelings (5.52%). In category 1, the main topics were about different objectives and interests with the genealogic register (15.84% of category 1), the existence of two different associations (divided in a subgroup considering the existence of two different names for the same cattle group (29.54% of category 1) and another subgroup considering the organization and infrastructure of both breeders association (25.09%), the difficulties with bureaucracy (22.95%) and financial trouble (6.58%). In category 2 the main topics referred to several actions carried out in the past by breeders associations, partners and sympathizers (45.07% of category 2) besides the animal and environmental context and other general circumstances (54.93%). In category 3 the expression of personal feelings was emphasized, related to the meeting (48.65% of category 3), and the genetic resource itself (51.35%). The methodology was useful to sort out and identify the most relevant topics that were discussed in the reunion and that culminated in the genealogic register of Curraleiro Pé Duro cattle in Brazil.
