The work carried out refers to an analysis of the economic viability of different models of collective gestation in female pigs, with the aim of technically and economically evaluating the technological change from the conventional system (individual pens) to collective gestation with an emphasis on animal welfare. To obtain the results, data from each farm’s S2 system was used and the costs of setting up the pens and the variable costs were provided by the producers themselves, using this data to analyze the payback time, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and the Net Present Value (NPV), using the breeding system. It was then concluded that the BEA gestation model obtained the most significant profitability, return on capital and economic viability indices, thus demonstrating that it is an economically viable system, according to the payment formula used by the integrating company, which is decisive in guiding the technological model used in the production system.
