Abstract

Agile and accurate livestock data production is a growing demand in public and private sectors. Therefore, geoprocessing techniques gain strength in the management of livestock production processes. Looking in a superficial way for a GIS, this can be compared to a simple database, however, by the addition of the spatial component, it becomes a system much more powerful than a simple database. The GIS importance is in its ability to multiply the conceptions of space revealing other paths to be traced by thought. This work aims, through a scenario about the Goiás livestock dynamics, from a spatialization of the livestock data produced by IBGE from 1974 to 2017, to present the potential of a GIS to study patterns in a given temporal and spatial cutout. In this context, the GIS presents itself as an efficient tool in providing an agile knowledge about space.
