Typologie d' exploitations agricoles en zone montagneuse au Maroc . travers l' analyse des activit.s d' .levage.

French. Ce travail analyse la diversit. des pratiques d' .levage et leurs effets sur la rentabilit. dans 59 exploitations paysannes situ.es dans le village d' Agoudim, au Maroc. Une typologie d' .levage a .t. .labor.e couvrant la campagne 2001/2002. L' .levage demeure une activit. pratiqu.e sur les parcelles agricoles ainsi que sur les parcours collectifs. L' alimentation repr.sente pr.s de 87 percent des charges totales, t.moignant de son importance dans le processus d' .levage. Le revenu total procur. par l' .levage demeure tr.s variable du fait de la diversit. des pratiques et de la variabilit. sp.cifique dans les troupeaux. La marge brute moyenne par UGB a .t. estim.e . 2250 Dhs1 par an, variant de -1713 . 4100 Dhs. Ce travail montre la diversit. des modes d' .levage et souligne la n.cessit. de la prise en consid.ration des caract.ristiques de ces sous-groupes et de cet ensemble de pratiques dans les programmes futurs de d.veloppement.

English. The present study aimed to characterise livestock farming systems in Agoudim in Morocco. The enquiry was conducted on 59 farms. Structural and economic parameters of the farms were collected for descriptive analysis. Multivariate statistical analyses, namely principal components and cluster analyses were run. Livestock farming is practised on small lots and on collective grazing resources. Forages reserved area runs around 0.40 ha per livestock unit (LU). They were on average 6 LU per farm. Feed represented nearly 87 percent of total expenses, which highlighted the important role of feed resources in livestock farming. Average gross margin per LU was about 2250 Dhs1 per year for the farms studied, varying from -1713 to 4100 Dhs. Five different groups of farms were identified, namely. The results confirmed the large diversity of animal farming systems in Agoudim area, which should be taken into consideration for future developemnt purposes.
