Evaluación financiera de un sistema de producción de carne en confinamiento

Abstract

In general, the Colombian livestock farming shows low production and, therefore, low productivity, which means that the profitability is low, since most farms are not designed as a business, they lack of technical records, do not have inventories or projections, unaware of the costs of production, nor have a system of evaluation of the reproduction program; in most cases there is absence of their owners, there is no clear goals or evaluation of existing records, a lack of awareness of the producers guild, ignorance of labor laws, little training and poor quality of life of workers. In this article the confined production is shown, as a good alternative for production in smaller spaces, with a more efficient use of land, decrease in environmental impact and protection of natural resources, better economic development and improved profitability. A herd confined was established in San Antonio de Prado, department of Antioquia, where the project preparation and financial assessment were developed, building financial models according to the information collected.
