💲Profit per head

Cattle in Confinement Example: Details of Fattening:

• Initial Weight of Cattle: 240 kg per head.

• Fattening Duration: Approximately 110 days.

• Growth Target: 3.8 to 4 arrobas per head.

Calculation of Results:

• During 110 days of confinement, it is possible to achieve an average gain of 3.8 arrobas per head.

• The estimated cost to reach this goal is R$ 740 per head.

• The final result would be a weight of about 280 kg per head (240 kg initial + estimated gain of 3.8 arrobas).

Additional Benefit:

• Besides weight gain, confined cattle also provide an additional benefit in the form of profit through the production of manure.

• A single cow can generate up to 1 ton of manure during a 100-day period.

• Cattle confinement is a practice that can be profitable, providing significant weight gain while also contributing valuable manure for agriculture.
