ECONOMIC VALUATION IN LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION

Abstract

Livestock production companies represent an important weight in the economy of many countries and, therefore, tools are necessary which help livestock producers in making decisions to determine the value of their assets, such as livestock, in a quick and accurate manner. The problem is that there are no such tools for the valuation; therefore, in this study, we attempt to present a view of the current situation of livestock valuation, showing theoretical models of unitary valuation for some species in function of the contribution of the future benefits that it generates
