Abstract

In the first part of the work is presented the current situation of livestock in the country, and the second is performed a financial analysis of a possible alternative sustainable production supplementation, for which a cost structure to be subsequently performed financial analysis of livestock production, making an estimating and analysis of implementation costs of a system of nutritional supplementation and its consequences thereof, that is to say that also was analyzed a strategy to increase the competitiveness livestock in the eastern plains. The net present value was used (NPV) because this tool allows to evaluate investment projects, determining if it meets with financial basic objective, which is to maximize investment, while allowing know if the project is profitable. We conclude that nutritional supplementation in east and fattens livestock systems is a viable technology with productive and economic benefits, because it allows duplicate the weight gain, passing from 361 to 750 g/day, while it is reducing the time required to complete the animals. Furthermore under the conditions of the analysis, do with hydroponic green forage (HGF) has benefits, because it allows duplicate the NPV rising from COP$549.228.02 to COP$1.006.320.31, at half the time required, in comparison with the case of fattening without nutritional supplementation (from 16.6 to 8.3 months) which directly influences in the time needed to recoup the investment: 11.02 years in unsupplemented fattening to 2.07 supplementing with FVH. Therefore, the supplementation with hydroponic green fodder is an environmental alternative, economic and productively sustainable to improve the competitiveness of livestock in Colombia, while providing the possibility of doing the same in other livestock production processes such as: soil quality for pasture establishment.
