Custos na criação de ovinos num sistema semi-intensivo: um estudo de caso na divisa do Sertão com o Agreste alagoano

Abstract

As one of the most resistant species to dry climates, sheep have the capacity to become one of the main sources of income, from families, aggressives or Alagoas backlands, in order to identify how much it costs to produce one kilo gram of meat from sheep, in a semi-intensive system, in a property located in the agreste border with Sertão Alagoano. The research is characterized as exploratory and descriptive, being developed through the application of a questionnaire for data collection. As a result, it was verified that in the farm the producers spend $ 10.30 (Ten Reals and Thirty Centavos) to produce each kg of finished animal, it was also verified that in the farm they do not make the cost survey, referring to the sheep's rearing, and consequently do not make use of this for decision making, so little for price formation in the sale of animals. It shows that one of the most important parts of production is no longer made, which can cause deficiency and difficulty in making decisions.
