Abstract

The decrease of bonus due to quantity and quality of milk re­mitted to the dairy industry af­fect significantly the income of an important number of dairy farmers. The objective of the proj­ect was to assess the economic losses of the final price of milk as a consequence of a reduced bonus because of compositional, hygiene and sanitary quality as well volume of milk, remitted to the dairy industry, in La Pampa province. Records of volume, quality, hygiene and sanitary quality of 59 dairy farmers of La Pampa were analysed. The basic value of protein without of bonus was obtained through the mean monthly kilogram of protein magnified by the market value of protein. To this value, it was add­ed bonus for colony formed units (CFU), somatic cell counts (SCC), temperature and cryoscopy, and it was compared with the maxi­mum value to obtain in order to determine the losses. The losses in bonus occurred for high SCC and CFU, representing 67 and 33% respectively. Temperature and cryoscopy were not respon­sible for losses, and temporally the worst months were January, February, June, November and December. The dairy farm­ers mean monthly losses was 158.252$ equivalent to 2,05% of the income.
