Zootechnical and economic analysis of a poultry farm in Minas Gerais

Abstract

The zootechnical and economic analysis is extremely important to assess the efficiency of the activity. Therefore, the objective of the study was to evaluate the zootechnical and economic indicators of a broiler production nucleus in Minas Gerais, throughout 2020. Through the owner and through visits to the nucleus, the values of improvements, annual expenses and zootechnical indicators were collected. Based on this information, economic indicators were calculated in Microsot Excel spreadsheets. Despite the impact of the warehouses on the value of improvements, they were old and still usable, which represented greater financial efficiency for the process, reducing TOC and TC. Spending on feed was the most impactful, accounting for 78.44% of total annual expenditures. The average age at slaughter was 46.2 days and the average weight of the bird was 3.239 Kg. The average viability was 94.69%, the production factor was 390.33 and the average daily gain was 70.380 grams per day. In addition to broiler revenue, manure was also an important source of income for the nucleus, which boosted net and gross margins. The nucleus produced 222,040.82 kg of nucleus more than PCT, which enabled profitability (9.77%), profitability (10.83%) and return on capital rate (70.86%). Therefore, broiler production in the Minas Gerais nucleus is attractive.
