Smart management: the path to greater profit in livestock farming

In modern agribusiness, profitability comes not only from the weight of the arroba, but also from efficiency at each stage of production. An often-overlooked factor—but one that makes all the difference—is livestock management.

The invisible cost of mismanagement

Rough handling, poorly designed facilities, and inadequate transportation create animal stress. The result?

• Weight losses during handling and transport.

• Higher rate of bruises, which saves on carcass use in the slaughterhouse.

• Decrease in meat quality, transmitting the value paid per arroba.

• Increase in work accidents, increasing operating costs.

In other words: every management error means money going down the drain.

Rational management is profit

When cattle are managed rationally, with intelligent management, calm and adequate structures, the benefits are clear:

• Better productive performance with greater weight gain.

• Less carcass loss during slaughter.

• Greater appreciation of meat in the premium market.

• Reduced operating costs and greater safety for the team.

In numbers: according to studies by Embrapa, livestock farmers who invest in rational management and animal welfare can increase profitability per arroba by up to 15%.
