Abstract
municipality, Hidalgo State, Mexico. The topic included the social areas, health management and nutrition. The answers were organized in a data matrix and were processed according to Statistical Model for Impact Measuring (SMIM). This model combines the multivariate techniques of main components and the cluster analysis. The results evidenced that the majority of producers wished to manage using few technologies, only a minor liked the not-updated and incomplete technologies. Out of the people interviewed,
90 % of them have cattle as a saving system, with low earnings. Only 10 % use them to improve their economy, although they do not use the technologies required for an efficient production. Creating consume goods cooperatives would be enough to improve the systems, in respect to the acquisition of feed incomes and find a commerce way for the producers to establish a guarantee price. The inclusion of awards, if the product surpasses the established standards, is suggested with previous agreement with the purchasers.
Inducing the producer to the technical assessment to improve the production levels and the general conditions of the system, mainly its nutritional aspect is also advised.
Key words: meat production, social characterization, health characterization, nutritional characterization, multivariate statistical analysis.
