SIMULATION AND RISK ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF ELEPHANT GRASS SILAGE CULTIVAR BRS CAPIAÇÚ COMPARED TO CORN SILAGE FOR DAIRY COWS
Given the high production of dry matter that can be obtained by the cultivar BRS Capiaçu compared to corn for silage, there is a great economy of area used. with the BRS Capiaçu cultivar, in addition to its perenniality. Even when ensiled with corn meal, the silage of the BRS Capiaçú cultivar remains competitive in relation to corn silage, and can be used for cows producing around 30 kg of milk/day without any loss in production, provided that supplemented with well-formulated concentrates. It was observed that the silage-based system of the BRS Capiaçú cultivar, added to corn meal produced a net profit at present value/hectare/year, three and a half times greater than the system based on corn silage. Risk analyzes showed that investment in the BRS Capiaçu cultivar does not offer risks when replacing corn silage.
