Diagnóstico produtivo e viabilidade econômica do sistema de produção de bovinos de corte da Fazenda Experimental do CCAAB/UFRB: de 2014 a 2018

Abstract

Brazil has the largest cattle herd in the world, and in recent years has become one of the main producers and traders of beef on the world stage. However, the productive indices of beef cattle production systems in the country are low. The registration of zootechnical indexes and the knowledge of production costs are essential factors in the good management of the property, making it possible to verify the efficiency of the livestock activity and to have control of the property in an effective way. The data were collected in a spreadsheet and organized according to the year of occurrence, considering the four years of the interval from 2014 to 2018, the data were collected by the management of the Experimental Farm and by the Center for Animal Reproduction Studies. From these data, calculations were made of zootechnical indexes and production costs. The results showed low productive indexes and low economic efficiency during the period, evidencing the low productive efficiency of the beef cattle production system.
