Abstract
The present work identifies socioeconomically three modules of family-type sheep in the silvopastoral system in the Mixteca Poblana. Zootechnical, social and economic aspects have an impact on these production modules, standing out the type of natural arboreal-bush feeding, which reduces their feeding costs in sheep production, making their completion profitable in that region of the Mixteca Poblana. The study was carried out in the communities of Maninalcingo and Tehuaxtla, where a questionnaire of 80 survey questions was used in the form of an interview, the data obtained in 12 visits to the study area, were in a database in an Excel sheet (Microsoft Corp.). Study time was from July to December 2015. The objective was: to identify socioeconomically modules of family-type sheep in silvopastoral environment in the Mixteca Poblana. On the other hand, it is important to point out a strong migration of young people to the United States of America, due to the lack of agricultural programs and projects, health, employment, education and sports. If these characteristics are considered in government programs, producers and research institutions; Furthermore, by introducing and adopting technologies applied to MOFs (family sheep modules), the development and well-being of producers in the Mixteca region of Puebla would be sustained. As found in the identification of this study, the mean cost of production/sheep of the three family sheep modules (MOF) of 20.6 USD and with an average sale price/sheep of 110.3 USD. To a large extent the communities of the Mixteca Poblana have hostile social situations such as: housing, food, education, health, culture, sports. In addition to the marginalization, gender equity and social welfare due to its orographic conditions of the Mixteca Poblana. In conclusion: the socioeconomic identification is a technical-scientific tool, which allows to know in what conditions these Family Sheep Modules (MOF) are found in the Mixteca Poblana; since, through the application of questionnaire-type surveys applied to producers in the form of interviews, it is possible to better assess their social, economic and zootechnical characteristics in that region of Puebla.
