El resultado económico anual de una granja avícola puede ocultar diferencias sustantivas entre sus ciclos productivos. En consecuencia, el objetivo fue analizar la estructura de los costos de producción y su relación con el desempeño económico de tres ciclos de una granja avícola comercial de Quevedo, Ecuador, durante 2023. Se analizaron registros contables, financieros y productivos de tres ciclos (L1, L2 y L3) de 16.000 aves cada uno mediante un diseño observacional, retrospectivo y comparativo, con análisis descriptivo (n = 3). Los costos variables representaron 88,01 % del costo total y la alimentación 62,68 %. Los ingresos acumulados alcanzaron USD 241.937,47, la utilidad neta USD 15.798,30 y el margen neto 6,53 %. Los márgenes brutos fueron 10,52 % en L1, 15,71 % en L2 y 3,68 % en L3. El ciclo de mayores ingresos no fue el más rentable y dos ciclos con costos casi equivalentes difirieron en USD 10.419,09 de utilidad bruta. Se concluye que el seguimiento conjunto de variables contables y productivas por ciclo caracteriza mejor la heterogeneidad económica intragranja; por tratarse de un caso único, los patrones no admiten interpretación causal.
