Resultados econômicos do confinamento de ovinos de diferentes grupos genéticos no estado de São Paulo.

Abstract

This study evaluates the economic outcome of a study on confined lamb crossings for meat production taking into account two weaning ages and two slaughter weights: weaning age of 60 days with two slaughter weights respectively of 32 and 38 kg, and weaning age of 90 days and 32 and 38 kg slaughter weights. The genetic groups used in the study were Dorper, Ille-de-France, Santa Inês, Texel crossed with the Brazilian Santa Inês breed. Economic performances expressed as average profit per head varied depending on genetic groups and slaughter ages and weights. The Dorper was more profitable at 60 days of weaning age and slaughter weight of 32 kg (profit R $ / head = 37.14). Under the experimental conditions prevailing in the study for the 60-day weaning age and 38 kg slaughter weight, Ille-de-Fance had the highest profit (R $ / head = 67.72). Santa Inês obtained the best economic result with weaning at 90 days and slaughter weight of 32 kg (profit R $ / head = 59.46). The highest average profit per head fell to the genetic group ½ Ille de France and ½ Santa Inês (profit R $ / head = 105.03), with 90 days of age at weaning and slaughter weight of 38 kg.
