Avaliação econômica de novilhos terminados em pastagem de sorgo com suplementação de diferentes concentrados

Abstract

The cattle in Brazil is a more applied activities in our country, still expanding even in so many planning scenarios of production to marketing of animals. The efficiency of technology levels are often not assessed cost-effectively raised losses and debts to producers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the economic cattle on pasture forage sorghum grown with different supplementation. The literature is relatively scarce in this sense economically evaluate the production. Was used 60 cattle breeds pure and mixed, castrated, being 27 steers and 3 bois supplemented with wheat bran and 26 steers and oxen with 4 rice bran, both providing Ad libitum. The animals were recreated in containment system with high power and grain after transferred to pasture grown until they reach slaughter weight. The animals were slaughtered in commercial refrigerator and collected data from hot carcass weight and carcass yield. The economic characteristics evaluated was the processing of all production costs and revenues from production. Among the components of the cost of the pasture, the input of greater representativeness was the fertilizer (25%), seeding (20%) and preparation of the Earth grid (19.09%). The largest total production cost was the acquisition of animals (73%), followed by concentrated supplementation (10%), training and production of pasture (8%), labor (6%) and depreciation (3%). However, the total costs of production of opportunity of land and invested capital have greater value in relation to gross revenue resulting in losses, activity not enabling the system economically, however, without the addition of opportunity and invested capital, obtain profitability of 8.46% of the total, R$ 7.461,66 in the total period and R$ 1.695,83 per month.
