“…Profitability is essential for economic sustainability; therefore, farms must maximize income while controlling costs. Goat farms rely heavily on meat and milk production for income, but little information is available on factors that explain differences in gross returns between farms (Lima et al, 2020). In order to remain economically viable over the long run, you need a regular stream of income to cover both fixed and variable costs (Lima et al, 2020).…”

Greece is a country with a long tradition in animal breeding, particularly involving small ruminants and goat farming is an important livestock industry. Despite the high productivity and high quality of products, the goat industry shows low competitiveness due to high production costs compared to other EU countries. For economic sustainability, farms have to be profitable; therefore, it is important to maximize income whilst controlling costs. The aim of this paper is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the goat breeding industry so that it is not only viable but also competitive. The economic performance of goat farms are evaluated in this study, as well as the factors that influence financial results. Capital formation and production costs composition of the holdings are examined. Moreover, the purpose of the analysis is to draw conclusions regarding the gross return achieved, the participation of production factors (land, labor, capital) in the composition of total costs, and the financial results achieved. Results show that the cost of feed, depreciation, and the value of animals contribute most in the formulation of cost.

“…In this scenario, castor-bean (Ricinus communis L.) meal is a by-product with potential for use in ruminant diets after detoxification (Antunes et al, 2019). The detoxified castor-bean meal (DCM) presents 903 ± 13 g kg -1 DM; 320 ± 58 g kg -1 crude protein; 20 ± 2 g kg -1 ethereal extract; 383 ± 33 g kg -1 neutral detergent fiber; 62 ± 37 g kg -1 non-fibrous carbohydrates (Oliveira et al, 2019;Lima et al, 2020;Araújo et al, 2021). However, most research with DCM in ruminant feeding is conducted in feedlots (Diniz et al, 2011;Gionbelli et al, 2014;Novaes et al, 2020), and little is known about the effects of this ingredient on the production performance of grazing animals, especially beef cattle.…”

The use of agroindustrial byproducts in cattle diets, such as castor-bean (Ricinus communis L.) meal, is a more sustainable practice because it does not compete with human food and reduces the volume of organic waste deposited in the environment. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of replacing soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) meal with castor-bean meal on the intake, digestibility, feeding behavior and performance of crossbred steers supplemented while on Urochloa brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) R.D. Webster 'Marandu' pasture. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete design with 40 animals, which started the experiment weighing 227.1 kg, at 10 mo of age, and were divided into four treatment groups. Castor-bean meal was added to replace soybean meal at the levels of 0, 90, 180, and 280 g kg -1 in the supplement, which was supplied at the rate of 0.4% of body weight. Total DM, pasture DM and neutral detergent fiber intakes did not change (P > 0.05) with the castor-bean levels added to the supplement. Ether extract intake and digestibility decreased linearly (P < 0.05). The animals showed no differences (P > 0.05) in production performance (average daily gain), which averaged 0.65 kg d -1 . Grazing, idle, and rumination times were not influenced (P > 0.05) by the treatments. Castor-bean meal can be included up to 280 g kg -1 in the total diet without changing the performance of crossbred steers finished on tropical pasture.
