Abstract
In the Czech Republic an antelope breeding for meat production is enabled by
the law and there are also good nourishment, veterinary and economic conditions
for this agriculture production. However the existing breeding technology must
be adapted. According to our model a breeder should invest 2,636,910 CZE in
the first year. It covers a pur chase of a basic herd for breeding, rebuilding
of a stall and fencing of a pasture. The life of investment (i.e. basic herd)
is ten years and the breeder can reach net profit 763,431 CZK a year under good
breeding conditions. The maturity of this investment is 10 years and the net
present value of this investment is 1,301,196 CZK. It means that the economic
return of the initial investment is in the 10 year. The breeder has to finance
the investment and operating costs during nine years. The evaluation proved
that the investment profitable and effective. The most suitable antelope for
farm breeding is Common Eland (Taurotragus oryx)
Key Words:
antelope breeding, meat production, one-way investment cost for establishment
