“…No analysis of their economic efficiency was undertaken, however, although more head were counted as their body size decreased. This fact likely leads to higher variable costs (Fabricio et al, 2017), which are key factors for production. On the other hand, the fixed costs of a system have the greatest influence on the economic outcome (Silva et al, 2017); therefore, in cow-calf production systems, they should be diluted as much as possible so that better economic results can be attained (Ávila, Pacheco, & Pascoal, 2016).…”

This study was developed to evaluate productive efficiency during the lactation period of cows with predominant Nellore genetic composition based on their body size. Cows were divided into the following categories: light (≤ 316 kg), moderate (≥ 317 and ≤ 400 kg), or heavy (≥ 401 kg). Body weight change and total gain from birth to 210 days of age of calves born from heavy cows (0.155±0.03 and 111.6±5.1 kg) were higher than those of calves born from light (0.064±0.03 and 91.0±4.3 kg) and moderate (0.144±0.03 and 97.7±4.0 kg) cows. Calf production index differed (p < 0.05) with the herd of heavy cows (93.5±3.2 kg), producing 57.4 and 19.7% more kilograms of calf than light (59.4±2.7 kg) and moderate (78.1±2.4 kg) cows, respectively. Heavy Nellore cows produce heavier calves and have a better reproductive performance, which lead to a better calf production index. However, they require a larger area for the same herbage allowance. Calves born from heavier Nellore cows gain more weight from birth to 210 days of age and are heavier from 210 to 270 days of age.

“…No entanto, existem muitas interações a serem consideradas na viabilidade econômica do confinamento de bovinos, como as variáveis de desempenho zootécnico, época de comercialização (PACHECO et al, 2019), peso de abate (FABRÍCIO et al, 2017), categoria animal (PACHECO et al, 2014a), tipo de dieta (SILVA et al, 2020), nível de concentrado (MISSIO et al, 2009;ROSA et al, 2017), bonificação de carcaça (PACHECO et al, 2015), localidade (FABRÍCIO, 2020;QUEIROZ et al, 2022) e também o peso inicial dos animais, entre outros.…”

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a viabilidade econômica da terminação de novilhos em confinamento recebendo dieta de alto grão (sem volumoso), com diferentes pesos iniciais (240, 270, 300, 330, 360 e 390 kg) através de método de simulação probabilística de Monte Carlo. Foi formulada dieta com os seguintes ingredientes: milho grão inteiro e núcleo proteico. Para a simulação do indicador financeiro Valor Presente Líquido - VPL (output) foram elaborados fluxos de caixa para cada peso inicial, considerando cotações históricas para custos e receita. Definiu-se a compra dos animais magros no mês de maio. Para realização das simulações foram determinados os tipos de distribuição de probabilidade de todos os itens de custos e receita (inputs), bem como de indicadores zootécnicos de produção; correlação de Spearman entre as variáveis aleatórias inputs; análise probabilística de risco; tipo de dominância estocástica e análise de sensibilidade. A melhor resposta de viabilidade econômica ocorreu para o peso inicial 390 kg. Os VPL simulados foram de: US$ -64.42; US$ -63.09; US$ 1.20; US$ -5.12; US$ -8.18; US$ 7.88, respectivamente, para os pesos iniciais de 240; 270; 300; 330; 360 e 390 kg. A probabilidade de VPL ser maior ou igual à zero foi 13,8 %; 10,8 %; 52,9 %; 47,9 %; 45,9 % e 59,4 %, respectivamente, para os pesos iniciais de 240; 270; 300; 330; 360 e 390 kg. Pela análise do tipo de dominância estocástica, o peso inicial de 390 kg dominou todas os demais. A análise de sensibilidade demonstrou que os itens mais relevantes a influenciar no VPL foram, em ordem decrescente: compra do animal magro, venda do animal gordo e preço dos itens da dieta. A melhor resposta de viabilidade econômica ocorreu para o peso inicial de 390 kg. Independente do peso inicial, o confinamento de bovinos caracterizou-se como de alto risco e baixa probabilidade de viabilidade econômica.

“…Specifically, about feedlot beef cattle, ROSA et al, SILVA et al, (2017) have used Monte Carlo simulation to assess the economic viability of using different concentrate levels in the diets. Conversely, PACHECO et al, (2014aPACHECO et al, ( , 2017 and FABRICIO et al, (2017) have used this technique to assess different slaughter weights, and Pacheco et al (2014b) to assess different categories of calves.…”

The goal of the present study was to assess the economic viability relating to the risk of replacing corn with pearl millet in diets with 80% concentration for feedlot cattle confined for 89 days. Replacement levels were: 0, 33, 66, and 100%. The risk was estimated using Monte Carlo simulation, Spearman’s rank correlation test between input variables, stochastic dominance, and analysis of sensitivity. The expected average values ± standard deviation for net present value (R$/animal) were ± 71.74 ± 283.32, 91.23 ± 285.18, 196.05 ± 273.79, and 223.80 ± 267.96 for diets containing 0, 33, 66, and 100% of pearl millet, respectively. The probability of ≥0 net present value was 63.4, 66.1, 78.4, and 82.4%, respectively. The net present values were statistically different (P<0.05), and the higher levels dominated the lower values. The items that most influenced the net present values were, in descending order, prices of unfinished and finished cattle, initial and final weights, prices of concentrate and forage, concentrate and forage consumption. Based on the results of the simulation, diet of 100% pearl millet exhibited the best economic viability.
