It tried know the changes in the zootechnic indices and in the profitability of two milk goat producers properties of distinct technological levels after application of the production system of childbirths. The research was accomplished in two stages: diagnosis of the initial situation and simulation. The diagnosis was done through inquiry semi-structured and direct observations accomplished in periodic visits. In this stage the control record lack was observed in the properties. It simulated, with assist of a program set in Microsoft® Excel, the zootechnic indices, the structure of the stabilized herd, expenses and revenues in the new situations, facilitating the application of the technique of budget partial for comparison of the initial situation and the proposal. The production system increased the revenue of the activity, however it produced milk constantly for an intermittent consuming market.
