Análisis de los parámetros reproductivos en la ganadería Pucate y su impacto en la rentabilidad.

Abstract

The objective was to determine the optimal economic reproductive parameters in the Pucate cattle ranch. The research used a descriptive statistics Duncan statistical model through means, to determine the averages in each year, the variables evaluated were: reproductive parameters (number of services per conception, calving - first heat interval, calving – conception interval, calving – calving interval, the interval between heats) and economic parameters (cost of calf born, cost of cow pregnancy, cost of open day). It was obtained: 2.33 for the number of services per conception; 72.19 days for the first heat interval parameter; 133.64 days for the calving - conception interval and 408.18 days for the calving - calving interval, and an average of 24.57 days for the interval between heats. The determination of the reproductive costs of the Pucate cattle ranch showed a cost per open day of $4.37 per cow; while the cost to get a cow pregnant under the management conditions of Hacienda Pucate was $608.86, and consequently, the cost of the calf born was estimated at a total of $1827.62. It is recommended to incorporate a heat detection and synchronization program to reduce the calving-calving interval and a permanent training schedule for the people in charge to minimize errors and maximize production.
