Abstracts
The joint analysis of indicators of the investment project is very relevant in making decisions, resulting in more consistent information regarding risk assessment and its confrontation with the possibility of return. This research aimed to evaluate the economic feasibility of Red Angus young steers finished in feedlot, slaughtered at 340, 373, 396 or 430kg with use of various financial indicators, marketed with or without bonus. The purchase of feeder cattle and feeding were variable costs with a higher share in the total cost. In the analysis with bonus, the regression analysis to gross margin, net margin, net present value, benefit:cost index and additional return on investment showed quadratic behavior, with the point of maximum at 406kg (R$ 185.17), 406kg (R$ 161.76) , 393kg (R$ 128.29), 392kg (1.12), 392kg (11.98%), respectively. In the analysis without bonus, gross margin and net margin showed a quadratic response (346kg, with R$ 110.31 and R$ 86.90, respectively), while for the other indicators, there was a linear reduction as an increase in slaughter weight.

INTRODUCTION:
In Brazil, the number of confined animals has increased in recent years (ANUALPEC, 2013), being considered the confinement technology that allows the intensification of beef production per animal and per area mainly. From the technical point of view, the confinement presents well documented advantages, however, under the economic aspect, the monitoring of costs and revenues and more refined assessment of the viability of these investment projects are needed. In this context, determine how approach and / or analyze a termination system economically has practical application of great value and can be adapted according to the particular reality of each farm.
Aiming to conquer the domestic market niches that best remunerate the end product,
demanding in relation to carcass quality and meat, it is common practice to use
marketing by associations of cattle breeds. In this aspect, the Angus breed has been
outstanding at national level, implementing a bonus program in partnership with
industry, with the possibility of increasing the amount paid for the carcass of up to
10% (ABA, 2014ABA (ASSOCIAÇÃO BRASILEIRA DE ANGUS), Porto Alegre, RS. Available from:

). This program takes into account
the weight and carcass finishing, slaughter age and breed standard. The higher slaughter
weight, the greater the bonus, leading to reflect on the possibility of extending the
time to feed and / or enhance the nutritional level of the diet in order to reach this
goal. However, it is known the consequent increase in operating expenses, which many

) reported that disregarding the
cost of acquisition of feeder cattle, the feed costs represent more than 70% of the
variable costs and can put the system in a delicate situation when analyzing the
cost-benefit.
Thus, the joint analysis of indicators of the investment project is very relevant in
decision making. SOUZA & CLEMENTE (2009)SOUZA, A.; CLEMENTE, A. Decisões financeiras e análise de investimentos.

suggests the joint analysis of several economic indicators, resulting in more consistent
information regarding risk assessment and its confrontation with the possibility of
profit. This approach was implemented and discussed in agronomic studies (SOUZA et al., 2010SOUZA, A. et al. Custos de produção, expectativas de retorno e de risco

), however, still little explored
in the field of animal production.
This study aimed to evaluate the economic viability, under the deterministic point of view, of the feedlot finished steers Aberdeen Angus variety Red, slaughtered at different weights using or not the bonus of quality programs in slaughterhouse industry, considering various financial indicators.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The experiment was conducted in the Department of Animal Science, Federal University of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Economic viability of the feedlot was assessed via deterministic analysis. Were used steers Aberdeen Angus, Red variety, fed to reach slaughter weights of 340, 370, 400 or 430kg, with real weights obtained from 340, 373, 396 and 430kg, respectively.
Were used 24 animals, taken at random from the same herd, with an initial average weight of 189.1±1.78kg and average initial age of eight months. The confinement began in July, where the animals were fed ad libitum a diet with 13.11% crude protein and 2.7Mcal digestible energy kg-1 dry matter (DM). The ingredients of the concentrate were soybean bran (24.79%), soybean hulls (52.62), rice bran (20.00), minerals (2.54) and monensin (0.05%).
Slaughter weights were considered mutually excluding investment projects. To estimate the costs, revenues and financial indicators (estimated per animal), mean values practiced in Rio Grande do Sul in the years 2004 to 2012 were used, for 2012 deflated by the IGP-DI index of the Fundação Getúlio Vargas, from the following sources: CONAB - National Supply Company, IEA - Institute of Agricultural Economics of São Paulo, EMATER / RS-ASCAR and ANUALPEC - Brazilian Yearbook of Livestock.

, which takes
into account criteria such as age, weight and carcass finishing. The performance items
of animals and bonus, according to slaughter weight contained in table 1.
The facility costs were estimated for static capacity of 1000 animals and lifespan of 10 years. Depreciation (plant, machinery, implements and equipment) were calculated for a planning horizon of one year, with an estimated value of US$ 0.03 animal-1 day-1. Opportunity costs were calculated considering the minimum rate of attractiveness (TMA) of 0.4868% per month (6% per year). The opportunity cost of capital invested was obtained by the sum of operating expenses (feeder cattle purchase, health control, forage plus concentrate feed, labor, and others) for the period corresponding to the number of months stipulated for each slaughter weight. For the opportunity cost of land (referring only to the area designated for the confinement facility), we considered the possibility at the annual rental equivalent to 3% of the hectare to agriculture (R$ 7,388.30). Was determined for each animal the use of 0.05ha.
Sanitary control consisted of applying product to control endo and ectoparasites (ivermectin 1%), analgesic and anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and vaccines against mouth disease, botulism and clostridiosis all in dosage per animal according to manufacturers' recommendations.
The feed cost was obtained by the product of the total consumption of roughage and concentrate (kg DM animal-1) for their respective costs kg-1 DM.
For cost estimates with labor, considered the need for 1 man 300 animals-1 to day labourer (R$ 17.84 man day-1) and three minimum wages month-1 1,000 animals-1 for the technical assistance (national minimum wage of R$ 520.11). Two months were added to the feeding period for preparation/maintenance of facilities and other activities.
Maintenance of facilities, machinery, implements and equipment, fuel, electricity,
freight and taxes were estimated for the equivalent of 4% of operating expenses
mentioned above to estimate the opportunity cost of invested capital, being called other
operating expenses. The equations used to estimate the costs, revenues and financial
indicators are presented in PACHECO et al.

To estimate the financial indicators NPV, IB:C, ROIA and IRR, cash flows planning

0.54.
The data were submitted to polynomial regression (5% of significance level) according to the following model:
,were: yij = dependent variable; b0, b1 , b2 = parameters of regression; xi = slaughter weight and eij = random error.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
The detailing of the total cost (Table 2) demonstrates the expressive participation of variable costs, and these, purchase of the feeder cattle followed by food (forage and concentrate) were the items most relevant. We note that the increase in slaughter weight resulted in change this relationship, ie, from 396kg of food was greater relevance (R$ 541.69) in relation to cost of purchase of the feeder animal (R$ 483.83).
The behavior of the estimated costs in this study are consistent with other studies
involving the termination of beef cattle feedlot (MISSIO

importance of planning the marketing season of animals, and the purchase of raw
materials for making the diet as strategies that can result in reduction in the total
cost and maximization of total revenues, providing this way, the economic success of the
activity. Furthermore, LOPES et al. (2007)LOPES, M.A. et al. Efeito da escala de produção na rentabilidade da

comment on the possibility
of reduction in depreciation values with increasing cycles of fattening and static
capacity of confinement facilities.
Another important aspect is the marketing strategy of animals, characterized in this
study by the bonus. Comparing the regression coefficients (R$ 4.15 vs R$ 3.08
kg-1 slaughter weight), the increase in total revenue with a bonus was 35%
higher than without bonus as increased slaughter weight. The increase in total revenue
with bonus has exceeded even the increase in total cost (R$ 4.07 kg-1
slaughter weight), demonstrating the advantage of the economic standpoint the investment
in changes/improvements in beef cattle production systems to participate of awards
programs offered by breed associations and slaughterhouses industry. Although slaughter
weights evaluated in the present study are lower than the average practiced in
confinements of Brazil (close to 500 pounds, MILLEN et
al., 2009MILLEN, D.D. et al. A snapshot of management practices and nutritional
recommendations used by feedlot nutritionists in Brazil. Journal of Animal Science,

), is common in the southern region of the country the marketing of
beef cattle with carcass weights above 180kg (approximately 340kg of slaughter weight)
derived from intensive production systems, such as the termination of young steers.
In relation to economic indicators, SOUZA & CLEMENTE (2009)SOUZA, A.; CLEMENTE, A. Decisões financeiras e análise de investimentos. 6.ed. São Paulo: Atlas, 2009. 186p. present the advantages of the use thereof together, characterized by the deepening of risk assessment and its confrontation with the possibility of return of an investment project. Moreover, results in more consistent information than the separate use of each or a subset of them. According literature review in animal production, has been little explored the economic evaluation of production systems and / or technologies using as decision criteria the evaluation of various economic indicators.
According to regression analysis (Figure 1), the estimates of economic indicators showed better results when was considered the bonus. For gross margin - GM, net margin - ML and net present value - NPV, slaughter weights of 406, 406 and 393kg, respectively, were those with the highest values (maximum point) (R$ 185.17; R$ 161.76 and R$ 128.29, respectively).
: Gross Margin (GM), net margin (NM), net present value (NPV), benefit:cost index (IB: C), additional return on investment (ROIA) and internal rate of return (IRR), according to slaughter weight (PA), with and without bonus.
In the analysis without bonus, the largest estimates for GM and ML occurred to lighter weights (346kg), being R$ 110.31 and R$ 86.90, respectively. While for NPV, the behavior decreased linearly as increased slaughter weight. The interpretation of economic indicators is essential to the use of the estimated results of the management standpoint. SIMÕES et al. (2007)SOUZA, A.; CLEMENTE, A. Decisões financeiras e análise de investimentos. 6.ed. São Paulo: Atlas, 2009. 186p. commented that the positive GM indicates the possibility of economic viability in the short term, because it covers effective operating cost (direct payments). Positive values for the ML demonstrate economic viability in the medium term, with the possibility of staying in the long term, because cover effective operating costs and depreciation. According LAPPONI (2007)LAPPONI, J.C. Projetos de investimento na empresa. Rio de Janeiro: Elsevier, 2007. 488p., NPV of zero indicates that recovers the initial investment cost and also pays this cost if it had been applied to the minimum rate of attractiveness. In the present study, the only possibility of economic infeasibility occurred for greater slaughter weight, considering the NPV indicator. These results demonstrate that not always the decision-making coincide for all estimated economic indicators. SIMÕES et al. (2007)SOUZA, A.; CLEMENTE, A. Decisões financeiras e análise de investimentos. 6.ed. São Paulo: Atlas, 2009. 186p. compared the phases of cattle production system (breeding, post-weaning and fattening) and found that for the finishing phase gross margin was positive, while net margin and profit were negative, and concluded that investment in this system was less attractive than other activity with the return on capital invested at 6% per year.
In analysis with bonus, benefit: cost index - IB:C and additional return on investment -
ROIA showed a quadratic response with increasing slaughter weight, with maximum
estimates of these indicators for the slaughter weight of 392kg (1.12 and 11.98%,
respectively). While for the estimates without bonus, the response was linear
decreasing. IB: C represents the ratio between the present value of the flow of benefits
(revenues) and the present value of the flow of investments (costs) (LAPPONI, 2007LAPPONI, J.C. Projetos de investimento na empresa. Rio de Janeiro:
Elsevier, 2007. 488p.) being interpreted as the benefit
after deducting the revenue that would be obtained if each R$ 1.00 had been applied in
the minimum rate of attractiveness. On the study of MELLO et al. (2009)MELLO, R. et al. Bio-economicity of the finishing phase on feedlot of

there was significant reduction in IB:C with the increase
in slaughter weight. Regarding ROIA, SOUZA &
CLEMENTE (2009)SOUZA, A.; CLEMENTE, A. Decisões financeiras e análise de investimentos.
6.ed. São Paulo: Atlas, 2009. 186p. state that this economic indicator is the wealth generated by
the investment, ie, that accrue besides the application of the capital in the minimum
rate of attractiveness.
For internal rate of return - IRR, both with and without correlation analysis, there was
a linear decrease with the increase in slaughter weight. However, only for the slaughter
weight of 430kg without bonus IRR (0.2876% per month) was less than the minimum rate of
attractiveness (0.4868% per month). In one of the few studies involving the use of
financial indicators in decision-making on investment projects involving the feedlot
beef cattle, PACHECO et al. (2014)PACHECO, P.S. et al. Análise econômica da terminação de novilhos em

showed
economic infeasibility of this system with lower returns and higher risk increased as
the level of concentrate in the diet. There was agreement between the values of the
indicators used, demonstrating its relevance in decision making. The authors estimated
R$ -119.77 to gross margin, R$ -129.63 to net margin, R$ -144.01 to net present value,
0.8994 for benefit:cost index, -10.06% for additional return on investment and -3.84%
internal rate of return.
CONCLUSION:
The components of total cost with greater relevance were the variable costs purchase of the feeder cattle and feeding. The marketing of animals with the bonus represented an expressive advantage compared to that without bonus, for all estimated financial indicators. Regression analysis to the financial indicators showed that the slaughter weights light to intermediaries represented the best options for finishing young steers in feedlot.
