Abstract: The effectiveness of the milk production was evaluated in fifty farms with seasonal pasture or indoor breeding on the basis of questionnaires data on structure and financial health. The pyramid analysis of relative changes in profit (loss) was used. On farms with pasture management the loss of 3,255 CZK per cow was found, whereas on farms with indoor management the profit 1,145 CZK per cow was found. The lower milk performance of cows on farms with pasture management was the main reason of the increase of the unit costs from 8.299 to 9.089 CZK, which lead to the relative crossing of the unit costs due to the intensity of the production by 4,291 CZK. Costs per a cow on farms with pasture management were lower than on farms with indoor management. The main factor which caused the decrease in profit per a cow on farms with pasture management was a low dependence of the costs on the performance dynamics.
