The objective of this work was to develop a software to help both technicians and raisers in determining the production cost for beef goat. The CU$TO CAPRINO CORTE 1.0 software is made up of an account plan in which the user can input all the expenses and incomes concerning the beef goat production. The software allows to register all the movables and immovables of the production system aiming at the calculations of depreciation and remuneration of capital. The CU$TO CAPRINO CORTE 1.0 calculates and presents to the user the following variables: total of the operational costs, total costs, total of the incomes, coarse margin, net margin, profit, operational cost and total cost per weight unit of meat, break even point of production system, total amount of the meat produced, value of the property and remuneration of capital. The software allows to the user a number of simulations involving several parameters and variables showing the bottleneck points and helping the technicians and raisers in the determination of beef goat production costs with precision and considerable quickness.
