Levantamento dos custos variáveis dos avicultores na produção de frangos de corte Griller nas diferentes estações do ano na região sudoeste do Paraná

Abstract

Brazil stands out in the global broiler scenario as the second largest producer with 13,146 million tons and the world's largest exporter with more than 4,3 million tons exported per year. Among the domestic production, Paraná stands out as the largest producer with 32,46% of all production. The southwestern Paraná contributes with 22% of the state production, being the second largest region of broiler producer. For the characteristics of the properties and the importance of the poultry activity in the southwestern, the management of broiler production costs, by the poultry farmers, becomes fundamental. Therefore, this study aimed to present the survey of variable costs in broiler production in the southwestern Paraná. The methodology used was to collect the main indicators that account for the production costs of broiler, with a mean slaughter age of 29 days and weight of 1,500kg, in integrating farms of an agroindustry in the southwestern of Paraná. The assessment was conducted in106 broiler patches of 60 different producers. 98,11% had a positive balance, the profit percentage varied from 48% in the summer, 38,7% autumn, 31,8% winter and 42,8% spring. The higher profit margin per broiler ton produced was in the summer with R$ 116.08. The work force (31%), wood (21,5%), electricity (15,7%) and bed (12,6%) amounted to more than 80% of all variable costs. Among the seasons, the highlighting was in wood consumption in winter, which was 130% higher than in summer. This study, besides to raising numbers for the confection of revenue-income accounting, highlights the necessity for all producers to make cash flow on their properties, because knowing how much is earned is so important to know how much is spent.
