| Sumario: | Feedlot profitability was determined
under different production and economic
scenarios for cattle prices in 2009 and
2010. The basic data came from surveys
in feedlots, interviews with key informants
and bibliographical consult. Internal rate of
return and net present value were estimated
considering 12% as annual capital opportunity
cost. Total capital varied in relation to total
purchase or partial production of food. The
incomes from 3,000 animals year-1 increased
by 50% in the year 2010 compared to 2009.
In the year 2009, without compensations,
there was no profitability when the foods for
cattle were purchased. With 5, 10 and 15%
increases in investments and operating costs,
profitability was attained with 4,466, 6,214 and
9,670 animals year-1, respectively, when the
foods were purchased, and with 2,110, 2,430
and 2,880 animals year-1, respectively, when
the foods were produced. Cattle prices for
2010 compared to those of 2009 increased
profitability without compensations using either
purchased or produced food. For reaching
profitability in year 2010, a total of 2,300 and
1,500 animals year-1 were necessary when
the foods were purchased or produced,
respectively. The hypothesis that profitability
depends on production scale associated with
the considered scenarios was verified. |
