Workshop Internacional – Como Confinar o ano todo Palestra com Dr. Dan Loy: Avaliação econômica dos diferentes tipos de construções sobre o resultado de confinamentos de bovinos de corte
This document analyzes the costs of five beef cattle finishing systems: an earthen lot with windbreak, earthen lot with shed, concrete lot with shed, total confinement with solid floor, and total confinement with slatted floor. Confinement systems have the highest initial investment but benefit from economies of scale. Operational costs are highest for deep bedded housing due to bedding costs. Providing shelter is justified across all systems. For confinement systems to be competitive, producers must capture increased manure nutrient value. Key factors in system competitiveness include containment of runoff and utilization of increased manure value from confinement operations.

• Total confinement with slatted floor
4. Assumptions Common to All
• Fencing costs are the same for all. Cost = R$76/m.
• Site preparation = R$ 4.64 per head
• Concrete cost costs = R$ 606/m3
• Concrete depth = 10.2 cm
• Earth volumes for settling basin and detention basin
construction = volume of liquid to handle
5. Assumptions Common to All
• 150 head per pen
• .3 m of bunk space per head
• 1 gate per pe
• 1 waterer per pen
• 100% of rainfall runs off
• Environmental control facilities designed per DNR regs (for once
a year pumping)

7. Earthen Lot Assumptions
• 3.66 m concrete apron along length of bunk
• 13.9 sq m concrete pad around waterer
• 2.72 MT/yr-hd solid manure each year
• Lot with windbreak
– 23.2 sq m per head lot space
– 2.79 sq m per head mound space
– Windbreak = R$ 34.80/ head
8. Earthen Lot Assumptions
• Lot with shed
– 20.9 sq m/head outside, 2.3 inside
– No concrete inside building
– Building cost = R$388/sq m
9. Concrete Lot with Shed

10. Concrete Lot Assumptions
• 1.85 sq m/head inside, 2.79 outside
• No feed alley
• No roof water gets on lot
• 4.1 MT/yr/hd solid manure
• Weekly scraping or oftener
12. Complete Confinement Building
• Total roof means no liquid manure to haul
• Total solid concrete floor
• 5.5 MT/yr/hd solid manure
• Solid hauling cost = R$8.88/MT
23. Other non-feed costs
• Bedding-- $R 127/MT
• Land Rent-- $R 1030/hectare
• Wage rate $R32/hr
Other Non-feed Costs, per Head ($R/head)

31. Initial Investment
• Earthen lot with windbreak has lowest initial investment
• Adding a shed doubles the costs
• Concrete with shed comparable to earthen lot with shed
when environmental structures included
• Confinement highest investment
32. Overhead and Operation
• Earthen lot advantage for small lot
• Earthen lots without shed or concrete lot were lowest cost for
large lot
• Confinement had higher costs
• Yardage ranges from R$1.23-2.06 /head/day
33. Cost of Gain
• Incorporates animal performance
• Yearlings and calves similar
• Confinement has higher cost of gain
34. Environmental Structures
• Not needed on confinement
• Lowest for concrete lot with shed
– 1/5 to 1/10 the cost of earthen lot structures
• Relative cost of structures
– $50 was largest initial investment
– 15% of pens lose more than $50/head
– Maximum annual cost less than $5/head
35. Size of Feedlot
• Subject to assumptions
– Many costs were linear
• 750 head lot
– Already capturing most economies of scale
– Environmental savings may be short lived
• 5000 head lot
– Economies of scale
– Environmental and overhead
37. Summary
Construction and Operational Factors
• Confinement systems have the highest initial investment
• Economies of size exist for runoff containment
• Operational costs are highest with the deep bedded housing mostly
due to bedding costs
• The cost of shelter is justified in all systems
• To capture the value of initial investments in confinement
producers must also capture and utilize increased manure nutrient
values.
