K PITANJU TROŠKOVA PROIZVODNJE MLIJEKA NA POLJOPRIVREDNIM DOBRIMA

Abstract

The monographical study of the expenses, yield and realization of the milk production in a large lowland farm in the People’s Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1952 and the comparison of data with those from abroad show:

 The milk production worked with the relatively high productive expenses by the litre. Especially high were the expenses of the high-priced concentrates so that the intensity of feeding of milk-cows had to be limited, whereas the expense of the voluminous food and the labour expenses were comparatively low. The relatively high indirect expenses contributed to the high production expenses.

The yield of milk of 2.500 litres taken on average was under the circumstances in People’s Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in this phase of development relatively good, but low with regard to the considerable still fixed production expenses to be able to affect their reduction by 1 litre of the realized production. The most profitable realization of production was through the direct
sale of milk. Because of the not yet organized milk transportation to the market the smaller part of the production was only realized. Making good use of milk, when manufactured into dairy products, was less profitable than the use of it for the feeding of calves and certainly the least profitable way of the use of the received milk. Up to that time, the possibilities of milk realization justified the use of a considerable quantity of milk for the feeding of calves. The improvement of the conditions of the milk sale in the market would require higher prices for the cattle in order that the use of milk for its breeding might be justified.
