Poultry production potential in the Legal Amazon with a focus on Rondônia: promotion of low-cost efficient animal protein ; Potencial da produção de aves na Amazônia Legal com enfoque em Rondônia: fomento a proteína animal eficiente de baixo custo

The Legal Amazon in Brazil is divided into two parts: the Western Amazon, made up of the states of Amazonas, Acre, Rondônia and Roraima, and the Eastern Amazon, made up of the states of Pará, Maranhão, Amapá, Tocantins and Mato Grosso. Brazil is the largest exporter of broilers in the world and practically all egg production is in the domestic market. This study is a literature review in which about 54 works obtained through electronic databases were consulted. The Legal Amazon is still not very expressive in poultry farming and this activity is an alternative to guarantee food security and improve the quality of life of the local population. In the Western Amazon, Acre and Roraima have two poultry and egg processing establishments registered with the State Inspection Service, while Amazonas has only two establishments. The state of Rondônia is the one that stands out the most with five registered establishments. As for the Eastern Amazon, the state of Maranhão does not have any poultry and egg processing establishment registered with the State Inspection Service. But Pará has three establishments and Tocantins has one establishment. No records were found for Amapá and Mato Grosso. As for establishments with Federal Inspection Service in the Western Amazon, only the state of Rondônia has this type of establishment with three units. However, in the Eastern Amazon, the state of Pará has three units and the state of Tocantins has one unit. Mato Grosso stands out with five refrigerated poultry slaughterhouses and is the only one that exports poultry meat. In this way, profitability studies and greater application of sustainable innovative techniques and expansion of commercial marketing in poultry farming in the Legal Amazon are still necessary for the sustainable development of the region. ; A AmazôniaLegal no Brasil é dividida em duas partes: aAmazôniaOcidental, composta pelosestadosdo Amazonas, Acre, Rondônia e Roraima, e aAmazôniaOriental, composta pelosestadosdo Pará, Maranhão, Amapá, Tocantins e Mato Grosso.
