Abstract
Among the various methods used to assess economic viability, partial budget analysis (PBA) is considered a practical and effective tool for evaluating the economic efficiency of technical interventions in livestock production. PBA focuses on changes in four key economic components - increased income, reduced costs, increased costs, and decreased income - resulting from the implementation of a specific technical solution. By concentrating only on the elements affected by the intervention, PBA enables the estimation of net income change without requiring comprehensive data from the entire production system. This paper presents an overview of PBA, covering its concept, guiding principles, scope of application, and practical use in livestock research and production. Case study analyses illustrate PBA’s capacity to quantify the economic benefits of various technical improvements, including enhanced nutrition, genetic upgrades, housing system improvements, and veterinary interventions. The paper concludes that PBA is a straightforward yet powerful tool for evaluating the economic impact of technical advancements, thereby supporting more informed and efficient investment decisions in livestock production
