EFEITO DE DIFERENTES RENDIMENTOS DE CARCAÇA E ADITIVOS NOS RESULTADOS FINANCEIROS DA PECUÁRIA DE CORTE

Aimed in this study to evaluate economic results from beef cattle chain using different additives (Virginiamycin and Functional Oils) and the effect of carcass yield on revenues to owner. The analysis developed used animal science indexes from other study conducted during rearing phase, in transition season wet-dry (May to August 2015), where animals were supplemented with 0.6% body weight. These studies were conducted in São Paulo State University – FCAV Unesp (Jaboticabal, SP – Brazil). The economic indexes obtained from different additives evaluated resulted in better values for Virginiamycin uses, the main cause of these results can be due the higher weight from these animals (484.8 kg) when compared to other (468.4 kg). The carcass yield effect was evident when the increasing on carcass yield results in higher revenues. Hence, the management and techniques that improve carcass yield as supplementation should be used to increase farm’s financial results.
