“…We deducted the value of secondary outputs from total costs and termed this value 'costs after deduction'. We defined secondary outputs of animal production as the value of calves (EUR 114.4 per calf ) and manure (EUR 27.8 per cow and year) (Syrůček et al 2019).…”

“…Milk purchase prices are considered one of the main factors influencing the economic efficiency of milk production (e.g. Syrůček et al 2019;Bórawski et al 2021) and reflect the situation in the European and international milk markets (Bełdycka-Bórawska et al 2021). Price variability is due to fluctuating supply and demand on the market depending on the actual volume of milk on offer and the consumption of milk and dairy products.…”

“…These production costs have been increasing in recent years both in the CR (e.g. Doucha et al 2012;Syrůček et al 2019) and on average in EU countries (European Milk Board 2021), as well as in the United States (USDA 2022).…”

A reassessment of factors related to milk production economics is needed because of continuing genetic improvements within the main dairy breeds and changes in farm management and the economic environment. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the development of economic indicators between 2016 and 2020 on Czech dairy farms that kept either Czech Fleckvieh or Holstein breeds and that had different average milk yields. We used a questionnaire to obtain data from 66 dairy farms from different regions of the Czech Republic. The farms were divided into four groups according to breed and 2016 milk yield. Production costs increased during the period in all groups by 13% to 17% because of increasing milk yields, the associated higher feed consumption and increasing input prices. We observed a higher annual growth rate of costs per litre of milk on farms with above-average milk yields compared with the groups with below-average yields. The highest profitability before subsidies was achieved on farms with Holstein cows and above-average milk yields. Higher-income over feed costs were consistently observed in groups with higher milk yields. Because of low farm gate milk prices, profitability was significantly lower across all groups during 2016 than in other years.

“…A 10% increase in milk price increased the net return on average to 268 EUR (10% 21-d PR), 292 EUR (20% 21-d PR) and 299 EUR per cow/year (30% 21-d PR) (Table 4). The sensitivity analysis identified milk prices, milk yields, and feed costs as the main factors influencing profitability (Syrucek et al 2019). As milk productivity increases, feed costs also increase and although some studies found that the milk income over feed cost increased with reproductive performance (Giordano et al 2012;Kalantari and Cabrera 2012), other studies reported that the milk income over feed cost could, at times, decrease slightly as reproductive performance increases (Cabrera 2012;Galvao et al 2013).…”

The overall objective of this study was to improve the reproductive efficiency of lactating dairy cows and to improve the resulting total farm profit. The hypothesis is that a dairy farm can substantially improve its economic and environmental performance through increasing pregnancy rate, i.e. increasing the number of eligible cows that become pregnant for a given breeding period. This paper presents a tool which was designed with a view to comparing the reproductive efficiency. The tool was developed using dynamic programming in R (Shiny) and shows the changes in costs, revenues and net return projected for a given change in pregnancy rate. The model calculates from the first day in milk and stops when the last calf was born after successful insemination of each cow. Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that the economic return associated with reproductive performance is greatly affected by the input parameters and therefore real farm and market values are crucial. The average economic gain per percentage point of 21-d (21-day) pregnancy rate (PR) was 14.6 EUR per cow/year. The milk price showed the largest impact on the overall net return. A 10% increase in milk price increased the net return on average by 268 EUR (10% 21-d PR), 292 EUR (20% 21-d PR) and 299 EUR per cow/year (30% 21-d PR). Our study had the same set values of milk yield during lactations for all four evaluated farms and it was found that the milk income over feed cost increased with the reproductive performance in all evaluated farms on an individual cow level. Poor fertility means that cows spend longer producing lower amounts of less efficiently produced milk.

“…As stated by Syrůček et al and Naglová et al, the production of dairy products is a mainstay of the Czech food industry [7,8]. A number of studies deal with the performance of the dairy and food industry in the Czech Republic [8][9][10].…”

Food production is one of the key sectors of the food industry in the Czech Republic and the European Union. Its direct link to the primary agricultural sector is also crucial, from which it takes inputs, which it further processes and markets. A necessary condition for this process is the quality and safety of the commodity produced. The businesses must demonstrate food quality and safety through an effective system of traceability and traceability of these criteria. These conditions significantly affect aspects of production and logistics. The paper is focused on the dairy industry. This industry forms an essential part of the entire agri-food chain. Processes in enterprises of this type are specified in that several regulations affect production and logistics operations. Raw materials and products are perishable. On the other hand, the customer expects a quality and safe product at the right time. The paper's main aim was the identification of risks in individual phases of the dairy industry logistics processes. The area of purchasing, production, and the transport was examined in particular. The secondary aim was to expand theoretical knowledge of dairy management. Expert studies and scientific articles in this area are insufficient.
