This research had as an objective to analyze the profitability of the activity of beefcattle finished in confinement. Specifically, it was also intended to evaluate the effect of scale ofproduction and price variations throughout the year on profitability, and identify the componentsof the total and operational effective costs that exercised higher representativeness on theproduction of 15 kg and to estimate the equilibrium point. The data collection took place fromJanuary, 2008 to December, 2009, in a production system of beef cattle finished in confinement,located in the municipal district of Sete Lagoas-MG. The profitability analysis was carried out bythe Custo Bovino Corte® software, considering the gross and the liquid margin and the result(profit or loss) as indicators of economical efficiency. The gross and the liquid margins, and theresult were positive in 2008, indicating that the production system has survival conditions overshort, medium and long terms with consequent capitalization. In 2009, for presenting positivegross and liquid margins, the activity has survival conditions over short and medium terms; but,because of the negative results, this production system does not have survival conditions overlong term because the farmer is decapitalizing itself. The components of total cost and totaloperational costs that exercised higher influence on the production of 15 kg were: animalacquisition, feeding and labor.
