Abstract
- The production system is one of the determinants of the economic situation and the way of farm management. This also applies to farms involved in the production of beef, which are located on the territory of the European Union. European farms are diversified in terms of the origin of calves used for fattening and the way of breeding beef cattle. The aim of the undertaken research was to indicate the differences in production costs and profitability of farms characterised by various beef production systems. The analysis used data from the agri benchmark Beef and Sheep network, with a research team including employees of West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin. The conducted research shows that there is a dependence between production costs and the distinguished beef production systems. However, taking into account net cash farm income, it cannot be unequivocally shown that the cow-calf farms are characterised by higher profitability than the farms based on cattle from dairy production.
