# Profit per head

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Cattle in Confinement Example: Details of Fattening:</mark>

* <mark style="color:yellow;">**Initial Weight of Cattle:**</mark>**&#x20;240 kg per head.**
* <mark style="color:yellow;">**Fattening Duration:**</mark>**&#x20;Approximately 110 days.**
* <mark style="color:yellow;">**Growth Target:**</mark>**&#x20;3.8 to 4 arrobas per head.**

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Calculation of Results:</mark>

* **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).**

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Additional Benefit:</mark>

* **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.**
