Abstract

We studied the profitability of a milk production system, located in the area at Varginha, in the south of Minas Gerais, identifying the components that exercised higher influence on the effective operational cost, as well as the representation of each on lelated to the total income. The data were collected from January to December of 2008. For data entry, as well as the profitability analysis, the Cu$to Bovino Leite® software was used considering the total and operational cost methodologies. In the analysis, for presenting negative gross and liquid margins, and negative results it was concluded that the milk production system analyzed is entering into debt and decapitalized due to the revenues earned were not even enough to pay the effective operating expenses. The component items of the effective operational cost that exercised higher influence on the the milk income and effective operational cost were: feeding, labor, taxes and fees, sanitation, milking, miscellaneous expenses, reproduction and energy.
