The outlook for the tambero remains complicated, the external market will continue to depressed for a few months, with the limited local production which sustains the producer price. Without a doubt you will manage the business with care and efficiency while surfing these waters stormy, seeking to keep under control the most important indicators.
But what number to look at...?
The activity tambera generates a number of indicators to monitor the productive activity. Unfortunately there are very few indicators that correlate significantly with the economic result, something as necessary to get to know “online” the health of the dairy business. Reviewed in the databases of physical/economic of the drums of the entity, technical AACREA found an indicator that towered over all the time to express a direct relationship with the economic result: liters-free food per hectare cow total (VT= cow milk + dry cow). The correlation of this indicator showed a r2= 0,6, surpassing other indicators and even demonstrating that the individual production alone is a poor indicator of the dairy business. Producers historically like to be compared by the liter that take their cows. Unfortunately that number speaks well of the genetics of the cows, the design of the diet and the people who carried on the power (nutritionist, mixeros, etc), but it says very little about how your business is doing. Here what matters is not to know what he is doing.. but how it is done. We observed many times that there are drums that achieve high yields per cow, but at a high cost, and staying finally with a profit margin similar or lower to that of the one who was more cautious about spending.
The LLA/ha VT is calculated by expressing costs of feeding (grazing, silajes, concentrated) in its equivalent in litres of milk. Then discount this value to the number of litres produced per cow to finally multiply that result by the average load (Cows total/ha VT).
By monitoring ALL/ha VT we will be engaging in the controls simultaneously production and consumption of pasture quality, the body states at birth, the reproductive efficiency, feeding costs, the individual production, the availability of reserves, the conversion efficiencythe level of loading and the workmanship involved in all the processes. To maintain the performance of the LLA/ha at an appropriate level will ensure a 60% of the profitability of the business of producing milk. Values lower than 18 LLA/ha VT turn on red lights, and values above 28 LLA/ha VT will turn green encouraging you to continue on that path.
