Abstract(s)
Existem vários centros de recuperação de animais silvestres em Portugal, a grande maioria geridos pelo primeiro ou terceiro setor. Uma abordagem comum aos parasitas gastrointestinais é a desparasitação em leque de todos os animais, pois apesar de não ser aconselhado do ponto de vista epidemiológico, é percecionado como tendo um custo reduzido e fácil aplicação. Outra abordagem é o envio de amostras para análise em laboratórios externos. Propõe-se neste estudo uma análise de um projeto de investimento de expansão, com aquisição de equipamentos de laboratório para realizar os exames internamente, considerando vários cenários de origem de mão-de-obra. A viabilidade económica destes cenários foi avaliada para pequenos e grandes centros, em comparação com ambas as abordagens supramencionadas (desparasitação em massa e uso de laboratório externo), por meio da determinação do valor atualizado líquido, da taxa interna de rentabilidade, do período de recuperação e do índice de rentabilidade. Quando comparado com uma desparasitação em massa, a utilização de um colaborador para trabalhar nos diagnósticos parasitários é economicamente favorável, apesar de qualquer modalidade de contratação não o ser. Já comparado com o envio de amostras para serem analisadas em laboratório externo, os resultados são francamente positivos, sendo um indicador muito forte do potencial do investimento num laboratório interno.

A common approach to gastrointestinal parasites is the mass deworming of all animals, because although it is not advisable from an epidemiological point of view, it is perceived as having a low cost and easy application. Another common approach is to send samples for analysis in external laboratories. This study proposes an expansion investment project, with the acquisition of laboratory equipment to carry out the examinations within the organization, considering several scenarios. The economic viability of these scenarios was evaluated for both large and small centers, in comparison with both approaches mentioned above (mass deworming and external laboratory), by determining the net updated value, the internal rate of return, the recovery period and the profitability index. When compared to mass deworming, the use of pre-existing workforce in the lab to diagnose parasites is economically favorable, but any scenario of hiring more manpower is not. When compared to sending samples to be analyzed in an external laboratory, the results are frankly positive, being a strong gauge of the potential of the investment in an internal laboratory.
