Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to assess the economic efficiency of sheep flock of Bulgarian synthetic population for milk, grown in the Experimental base – State enterprise to the Agricultural institute – Shumen for the period 2012 – 2014.
Object of our research are three flocks of ewes and the relevant categories of rams, ewe lambs and ram lambs, raised in the sheep farm of the EB – State enterprise to the Agricultural institute – Shumen. Animals are kept in stall-pasture in semiintensive regimens. The flock is under control of the basic productive traits. The feed for the animals is from own production and the prices are at cost. The number of permanent employees is six and one person is temporary engaged. Costs and revenues are evaluated at prices prevailing at the time. Profit and rate of profitability (%) are calculated in this paper. Costs, revenues and profit with and without subsidies are given per ewe. Data used for the analysis is provided by the accounting department of EB – SE to the Agricultural institute – Shumen.
As a result of the present study, we make the following conclusions:
1. Labour costs have the biggest share in the cost structure during the analyzed period – 42% – 46%, followed by the feed costs – about 40%.
2. The revenues received from the sale of animals are 55% – 61% and from milk – 36% – 42% of the total.
3. Profitability rate is a negative value during the whole period of research and it is the lowest in 2014 (-1.98%) including subsidies.
