Abstract:
The objective of this study was to conduct an economic analysis of forage production cultivated
in a nutrient solution based on ruminant urine. The experimental treatments that served as a basis
for costing consisted of different nutrient solutions (cow urine, sheep urine and commercial
nutritional solution - CNS), to obtain the following variables: water quantity (m3
/ha-1
) and
economic aspects of forage production in the hydroponic system based on ruminant urine. The
partial budget analysis was used to evaluate the expected changes in costs and returns by
introducing some changes in the production system. The treatments in which corn hydroponic
forage was cultivated with nutrient solution from sheep and cow urine presented satisfactory
economic results, because they presented better yields and lower costs compared to the
commercial nutrient solution. These values make the use of ruminant urine economically viable,
because it provides better benefit and economic the return, without compromising the production
the hydroponic forage of maize. |
