Abstract

For characterizing and evaluating the productive impact of livestock production cooperatives in Ca?la, Huambo province in the Republic of Angola, an exploratory-descriptive study was carried out. The statistical model of impact measurement (SMIM), based on the combination of multivariate methods was applied. A cohort longitudinal non-experimental design was used. A structured and dynamic survey was directed to eleven cooperatives corresponding to the population of the municipality of Ca?la, during 2010, 2011 and 2012. Total variance indicated that with four main components there is the possibility of accounting for 85.43 % of the total variance. Cooperatives A, B, C and F showed positive effect, regarding the number of herds, with annual incomes that also increased. Mortality affected the development of cooperatives A, B and D, with values of 12, 8 and 7 %, respectively. However, in F, the number of animals was increased to 80 % and mortality was controlled. Cooperatives G, H, I, J and L had different performance. In the conglomerate five groups were formed: I was characterized by lower mortality and adequate birthrate and the II had higher mortality. Generally, these cooperative systems are characterized by large land extensions, but poor productive.
Key words: cooperatives, impact, systems, SMIM
