Abstract
OLIVEIRA, C.A. et al. Geroleite project: Improvement administrative of dairy milk production: cooperative Macaé-RJ case. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2009, vol.58, n.224, pp.745-748. ISSN 1885-4494.
The research was done between december 2001 and may 2002 in Macaé-RJ. This producers belonged to the Macaé Cooperated Producers, having 1646 cows. The work aimed to collect data for two reports, one operational and other of performance, where producers could take administrative decisions. During the research 168 monthly reports were done. Using the operational report, the producers monitored the reproductive and productive status of each cow and the performance report allowed to have the productive and finance indexes under control by the individual monthly production cost. By using the monthly real production cost, it was expected that producers could take decisions to improve the management of their properties, using technologies to reduce their real production costs. The results showed that was possible to reduce in 0.3% the cost per litre of milk, in 2.5% the total production cost. The monthly production not increased -0.6% and cow productivity increased 3.6%.
