MILK PRODUCTION OPTIMIZATION CONSIDERING THE FOOD QUALITY IN THE RIO GRANDE DO SUL CONDITIONS
Abstract
This study aims to understand the rationality that orients a large part of familial producers, who are involved in the production of milk, that adopt Mis technological standard in their production systems. A mathematical programming model was devised for feeding systems considering forages with low, medium and high contents of energy and protein. It was verified that the milk production which optimize the economic results for the farmers vary from 10 to 15 liters of milk per cow/day. h was observed that the milk production obtained by the optimization of the feeding systems was always lower that 18 liters per cow/day:Based on the simulations that were carried out, it can be concluded that the adoption of less intensive technological standards is more the result of a deliberate economic rationality of the farmers Man an eventual posture against the adoption of technical progress.
