Abstract
The main attention of this study is devoted to the analysis and evaluationof both economic and managerial aspects of the milk cow keeping in Slovakia during 2000 – 2006. The study demonstrates the quantitative research. Data of milk cow stocks, average milk yield, own production costs of milk and own costs per feeding day were collaborated by matematical methods, including an exponential function, a non linear function, a linear line, a correlation analysis and a trend´s method. During 1989 – 2001 the milk cattle stocks in Slovakia decreased by 42,75 %. It will be continued up to 2006. Since 2006, the Slovak Republic has had the quota for milk production in total volume, which enables the increase of average milk yield per 1milk cow and on the other hand the decrease of number of milk cows during 2007 with prediction up to 2013. Based on the data of cattle stocks we can state that the prediction of development of cattle stocks has decreased tendency regarding with power function and correlation coefficient Thereby, the prediction of cattle number is at the level 477 400 in 2013 and the same situation is in the milk cows. According to prediction model based on the exponential function and correlation coefficient it was found out an estimation of yearly yield 7 047 litres of milk per 1 milk cow in 2013. It means development of raw milk production from 5 670 litres per 1 milk cow in 2006 up to 7 047 litres per 1 milk cow in 2013 with 24,29 %. The economic efficiency of milk cow keeping depends on both the increasing of received average milk yield and natality of milk cows as well as of the keeping of year – on – year cost´s level over the level of average yearly inflation.
