Nutritional indicators for price formation of protein plants for animal consumption

Abstract

The objective of the work was to present a proposal for the formation of prices of alternative inputs to animal feed using bromatological or nutritional indicators, which can favor the generalization, processing and sale of protein plants, based on considering their nutritional values. The evaluation of these alternatives also required identifying the costs of their production to know, from this perspective, the minimum price acceptable to the producer, which together with the market price offered by the proposed method, resulted in a novel approach in the conceptual order and price practical. With the application of the algorithm to form prices described in the work, the objective of making visible to agricultural producers and pig farme   rs, the nutritional and economic advantages of the use of protein plants and how it is possible to link it with prices was met. The application of nutritional indicators in the formation of the price of a product by correlation with a similar one in the market, constituted a scientific innovation, which contributed new theoretical criteria to prices and contributed to solving a problem of the production of animal feed in the country.
