Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the economic efficiency of egg production of hens submitted to diets with different vegetable oils. To this end, we calculated Actual Operating Cost, Gross Revenues, Gross Margin in relation Actual Operating Cost, Leveling Point, Actual Operating Profit and Profitability Index. These concepts allowed us to know which type of diet offered greater cost reduction. The statistical analysis was conducted using randomized blocks, composed of 7 types of treatment and 4 repetitions. The 7 types of treatments were the following: (T1) basal diet; (T2) 2% soybean oil; (T3) 4% soybean oil; (T4) 2% flaxseed oil; (T5) 4% flaxseed oil; (T6) 2% cottonseed oil, and (T7) 4% cottonseed oil. The treatment with soybean (T2) led to the best results.
