Maria Mihailova-Toneva
Abstract: The economical efficiency of growing sheep of the Synthetic Population Bulgarian Milk breed at the Experimental station of Institute of Animal Science - Kostinbrod was analyzed. The object of the study was a flock of 136 ewes and 9 rams. The income and the inputs were valued at market prices of 2009 year.
There is no difference between the income of milk 25 % and sold lambs (body weight). The cost of fodder 75 % is the biggest of the Total variable costs. The economic results at the end of the year are total income of 53 418 BGN and gross margin per ewe 110 BGN because of the subsidies for ewe and hectare,
production of own quality fodder and technological constraint.
