Resumo
The aim of this study was to identify and characterize the Curraleiro horse, generating initial knowledge for the development of conservation programs and multiplication of these animals. Twenty interviews were conducted which were subsequently transcribed and analyzed using a set of quantitative and qualitative methods, according to the classic model of content analysis (Bardin, 2004). As a result of this analysis, five categories of responses emerged: 1) Identification and location of horses (21.9%), 2) characterization of horses (44.2%), 3) Historical aspects (23.5%), 4) conservation perspective (5.8%); 5 ) sanitary and productive aspects (4.6%). In category 1, stood out the name Curraleiro (20.2%), the establishment of a differentiated equine group (12.8%), and difficulty in finding these animals nowdays (14.7%). Whereas the frequencies of the category 2, the most important features for characterizing the Curraleiro horse are the size ranging from small to medium (20.9%), resistance (10.9%) and the small hoof (called ass’ hoof). In the category referred to historical Curraleiro horse aspects, revealed a large quantity of these horses in the past (10.3%) and the reduction of the effective over the years (13.7%), besides the main causes of this process extinction, which is the replacement of local breeds horses for officers (30.8%), and technological substitution (15.4%), mainly automobiles. With regard to discussions on the prospects for conservation, it was revealed that people who know the Curraleiro horse gave it a value for its importance in day-by-day work in the field, and were enthusiastic about the opportunity to retain this genetic resource (31.0%). Respondents also indicated locations and possible ways to implement conservation projects (31.0%). In category 5 the most frequent themes were the use of native pastures in the feeding of horses (34.8%) and possible resistance to Equine Infectious Anemia (30.4%). It was concluded that the local horse found in the State of Goiás was called Curraleiro in most interviews. Although scarce, it is possible find some individuals, group them according to common and specific characteristics, and differentiate them from equine breeds recognized in Brazil. The methodology of content analysis of the speech was effective to assist in the steps of identification and characterization of a potential animal genetic resource.
