Production function, as a technical input-output relationship, is useful for demonstrating that maximum production does not always imply maximum monetary profit. In order to determine the optimal technical and economic level among Dorper lambs in confinement, a second-degree polynomial production function was applied, from December 2022 to February 2023, with information from eighteen male Dorper lambs confined in individual cages, at the facilities of Rancho El Salitre, of the UAEM University Center (Autonomous University of the State of Mexico) Temascaltepec, distributed completely at random, with an initial live weight of 30.4 ± 3.4, final live weight 58.7 ± 2.8 and fed for nine weeks on a commercial diet. Results indicated that the amount of accumulated feed, weight and monetary gain at the technical optimum level was 242.4 kg of feed, 59.4 kg of final live weight and 981.1 pesos, average per head and at the economic optimum level of 109.6 kilograms of feed, 50.6 kg of final live weight and 2,521.9 pesos. We conclude that the maximum weight of lambs in confinement does not necessarily result in maximum monetary gain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
