| dc.description.abstract | Dairy activity in Brazil have great importance by the fact that it is among the five largest dairy producers in the world, in function of which many rural producers depend on dairy farming for the sustenance of the family. Faced with this ever-growing demand, structures are needed for animal welfare, and for this there are some systems for this purpose. The Compost Barn is a great option for the comfort of the herd, was created in the United States, and after a few years Brazil started to gain adepts. This system has as its purpose to improve animal welfare and consequently increase the productivity of herds. The advantage that Compost Barn system has over other confinement systems such as Free Stall is the cost of implantation, which is shown to be significantly lower, the excellent quality fertilizer that is formed by the bed together with animal waste, and can be commercialized generating extra income. One of the main problems in dairy farming is economic viability, several factors contribute to this problem being increasingly constant, including the lack of management and knowledge about rural management. The objective of this work was to study the economic and financial viability of the implementation of the Compost Barn system, to that was lifted the total cost of implementation of the development through a questionnaire in an interview with the owners, after were made projections of costs and revenues in a horizont of ten years, based on inflation in previous years and using the minimum rate of attractiveness (8.5). In sequence, the techniques of investment analysis were applied, Profitability Index (PI), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV), and Payback, investment recovery period, through multi-index methodology implemented in the Economic Feasibility Analysis System of Projects of Investments (SAVEPI), which generated the results, in which the (NPV) was positive and accepted, with a result of R $ 6,876,597.00 over 10 years. The (IRR) resulted in 28.49%, this allows to categorize this investment as low / medium risk level (20% to 40%). The Profitability Index showed that for each R $ 1.00 invested, it will have a return of R $ 2.68, equivalent to a gain of 10.38% per year, in addition to the TMA (8.5%). The Payback period showed that in 5 years the investment will be paid. By means of these results, it can be concluded that the implantation of Compost Barn is viable. Based on this work, a new alternative for an intensive system of milk production is presented. | |
