Aldeia Truká: Desafios na Produção Animal

Abstract

Human food has been a major concern of mankind for the logos of decades.Since in the past our ancestors fed on hunting, fishing and gathering fruit.But this reality has become history and the quest for easier foods is greater and this has been demonstrated by the high rate of growth of humanity.In order to better survive, the ancients sought domestic animals to obtain food more easily and quickly to supply the population's demand.And the production of animals is one of the ways that has been found to remedy this concern. The work was carried out in the caatinguinha village belonging to the group of villages of the Truká People (Island of Asunción), located in the city of Cabrobó -PE, pertaining to meso-region of Pernambuco and microregion of the Valley of the Francisco, at an altitude of 325 meters and distant 536.1 km from the capital Recife. In order to carry out and apply the questionnaire, we searched for data pertinent to the village in the Base of Indigenous Peoples, in order to know how many families lived in the place and what the places of delimitation as beginning and end of the village.The survey reported that there were 49 families inserted in the locality, of which only 16 were animals, and these families were interviewed, with the purpose of describing theanimal production in the village. The species created by these families were bovine, porcine, caprine, ovine and poultry, and all consumed meat every day, that is, the main objective of the creation was the own consumption, being the surplus marketed.
