Evaluación económica de gallinas ponedoras en dos periodos de producción en la granja avícola Damiancito.

Abstract

The present investigation analyzed the profitability in the production of the commercial egg, activity that was executed in Damiancito Poultry Farm located in San Miguel of Guaructús Community, Chambo Canton, Chimborazo Province. For the determination of the production costs of Damiancito Poultry Farm was carried out in two productive periods where some factors were analyzed such as fixed costs, variables, unit cost and cost benefit. The total costs of the first period was $190.211,11, variable costs represented 90.15% of the investment ($171.475,58), while 9.85% is represented by fixed costs ($18.735,27). While for the second period it was $194.218,03, variable costs represent 90.35% of the investment ($175.482,77), while fixed costs represented 9.65% of the investment ($18.735,27), average egg production in buckets per month, this during the first period was 5,513 cuvettes with a unit cost of $2.30 and the second period was 5,725 cuvettes, with a unit cost of $ 2.26 per cuvette. The results of the benefit/cost indicator during the first period was $1.14; that is, for each dollar invested there was a gain of 0.14 cents, however, for the second period the benefit/cost was $1.16; that is to say that for every dollar invested there is a profit of $0.16 cents. In this way, this activity is economically profitable so it is recommended to replicate the study in other established poultry

farms, in order to know the profitability in the production of commercial egg.
