Abstract

Despite a slight decline in beef production and its average per capita consumption in the years 2000-2013 in the EU and across significant decline in both indicators in the Czech Republic is the production slaughter cattle an important part of animal production and of the whole agrarian sector. From 2000 to 2013 there was a rise in meat production total of approximately 35%, 15% beef meat. In 2013, consumption accounted for about 43.1 kilograms of meat per capita. In the EU-28 bred in 2013 a total of 87,619 thousand. cattle, of which 74,493 thousand. in EU-15 and 13 126 thousand. in EU-13. Between 2000 and 2013 in EU-28 beef production decreased by 980 thousand. tons and 12%, beef consumption per capita of about 1 kg and 8.5%. Significant decline in beef production exhibit EU-13 Short-term forecast up to 2015 counts in the EU compared to 2013, increasing production by about 5% (to 7,693 thous. tons) and meat consumption per capita of 3% (to 10.7 kg). With the decline in cattle population in the Czech Republic to reduce annual number of slaughterings of cattle is declining beef production. Unfavorable development of beef production in the Czech Republic is particularly evident in comparison with the situation in the world and in the EU. Meat consumption per capita in the Czech Republic in the period 1990-2012 decreased by 19.1 kg from 96.5 to 77.4 kg, and the main species showed the greatest decline (about 20 kg and 71%), beef meat consumption. Estimation of economic indicators fattening bulls shows that sales of CZK 28,560 and CZK 32,430 cost per piece would be achieved in 2013 losses 3,870 CZK per piece. For 10 % profitability sales would have to achieved 35 675 CZK per bull. Among the main factors of economic success fattening bulls include lower prices, costs and their main item, deaths and necessary slaughter during fattening, high weight gain and sales for slaughter bulls appropriate slaughter weight, etc.
