ABSTRACT
Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo realizar o levantamento das dificuldades encontradas pelos pecuaristas que aderiram ao Serviço de Rastreabilidade da Cadeia Produtiva de Bovinos e Bubalinos (Novo SISBOV). Elaborou-se um formulário qualitativo semiestruturado, contendo 37 questões. Foram entrevistados 130 produtores de gado de corte em três grandes exposições agropecuárias durante o ano de 2009. Desses, aproximadamente 17% (22 produtores) haviam aderido ao novo SISBOV. Foram entrevistados mais 49 pecuaristas em suas respectivas fazendas rastreadas, totalizando assim 179 entrevistas. As principais dificuldades encontradas pelos pecuaristas foram: mudanças frequentes nas normas do novo SISBOV, perda de elemento de identificação, remuneração inadequada pelos animais rastreados por parte dos frigoríficos e instabilidade de mercado.
