• dairy development
• multicriteria analysis
• geographic information system

Based on absolute data collected from the Agricultural census 2006 a Geographic Information System (GIS) and application of a multi-criteria analysis method to categorize and evaluate the development of dairy farming in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The selected variables were represented spatially, classified and reclassified; taking into account that their adjusted weights were combined by map algebra procedures, conforming the map with the characterization of the dairy development. Of the 853 municipalities, 53 were classified as highly developed, 55 developed, 229 moderately developed, 500 low development and 16 non-developed. Associations were found between the size of the municipalities and dairy development. The municipalities with greater development had an average area of 175.414 ha and those with lower development showed an average area of 44.947 ha. This approach with spatial integration of the livestock census data provides a powerful methodology to express the reality in its development and promotes this application in other topics related to animal health and productivity.
