E-BOOK: Esta publicação tem por objetivo discutir e apresentar a melhor forma de utilizar o concentrado na alimentação de vacas de leite. O que chamamos de "concentrado", os produtores chamam no dia a dia de "ração". Esse alimento é fornecido no cocho e complementa a alimentação das vacas de leite. Como o concentrado é caro, ele deve ser usado de forma muito cuidadosa para não reduzir o lucro final da venda do leite. O uso do concentrado deve ser feito por mérito da vaca. Ou seja, a vaca que produz mais leite merece receber mais concentrado. A vaca que produz pouco leite recebe menos concentrado. Mas o que é uma boa vaca? A que produz mais leite ou a que dá mais lucro? Para conhecer a produção de cada vaca é preciso pesar o leite e anotar estas informações...

Production Inefficiency in Fed Cattle Marketing and the Value of Sorting Pens into Alternative Marketing Groups Using Ultrasound Technology
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Koontz,   Stephen R.; Hoag,   Dana L.; Brethour,   John R.; Walker,   Jodine L.
The cattle industry batch markets animals in pens. Because of this, animals within any one pen can be both underfed and overfed. Thus, there is a production inefficiency associated with batch marketing. We simulate the value of sorting animals through weight and ultrasound measurements from original pens into smaller alternative marketing groups. Sorting exploits the production inefficiency and enables cattle feeding enterprises to avoid meat quality discounts, capture premiums, more efficiently use feed resources, and increase returns. The value of sorting is between $15 and $25 per head, with declining marginal returns as the number of sort groups increases.

Probabilistic Models of Yield, Price, and Revenue Risks for Fed Cattle Production
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Belasco,   Eric J.; Taylor,   Mykel R.; Goodwin,   Barry K.; Schroeder,   Ted C.
Cattle feeding enterprises operate amid variability originating in prices and production. This research explicitly models yield risks related to cattle feeding by relating the mean and variance of yield performance factors to observable conditioning variables. The results demonstrate that pen characteristics, such as entry weight, gender, placement season, and location influence the mean and variability of yield factors, defined as dry matter feed conversion, average daily gain, mortality, and animal health costs. Ex ante profit distributions, conditional on cattle placement characteristics, are derived through simulation methods to evaluate the effects of price or yield shocks on the distributional characteristics of expected profits.

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF THE CATTLE FEEDING INDUSTRY IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND WESTERN LAKES STATES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Duncan,   Marvin R.; Taylor,   Richard D.; Saxowsky,   David M.; Koo,   Won W.
The five-state study area of the Northern Plains and Western Lakes States, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, has adequate feed supplies and feeder cattle to markedly increase cattle feeding.  Feed costs in these states have historically been lower than in the Southern Plains States.  However, higher transportation costs appear to offset that advantage.  Close access to slaughter plants in these states could offset that transportation disadvantage.  Backgrounding of cattle appears to be quite profitable and cattle feeding, especially in larger sized feedlots, can be profitable.  However, the cattle feeding industry has an increasing level of excess capacity.  To be successful, new feedlots in the Northern Plains and Western...

Derived Demand for Cattle Feeding Inputs
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mathews,   Kenneth H., Jr.; Arnade,   Carlos Anthony; Jones,   Keithly G.
Derived demand relationships among four weight categories of feeder cattle entering Texas feedlots and their feed consumed are examined using a generalized McFadden dual cost function. Results demonstrate systematic differences in demand relationships among different weight categories. Positive cross-price elasticities among the three heaviest weight categories are consistent with input substitution among weight categories and consistent with objective functions associated with optimal placement weight. Anomalies in the form of negative cross-price elasticities between weight categories provide evidence for an alternative objective function associated with longer term feeding of light-weight feeder cattle. Results also demonstrate seasonality differences...

A Comparative Analysis of Regional Production Costs of Fed Beef Produced for the U.S. and Japanese Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sankey,   Lee; Hayes,   Dermot J.; Clemens,   Roxanne.
This study compared and analyzed actual 1989 production costs for representative regional feedlots in the U.S. The results show that grain-surplus regions have lower total costs and poorer feeding efficiencies. The analysis suggests that Iowa has a comparative advantage in producing heavily marbled beef required by the Japanese market. Southwestern states have an advantage in producing leaner beef and stand to benefit if U.S. consumers develop a taste for Select-quality beef.

OPTIMAL HEDGING STRATEGIES FOR THE U.S. CATTLE FEEDER
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leuthold,   Raymond M.; Noussinov,   Mikhail A.
Multiproduct optimal hedging for simulated cattle feeding is compared to alternative hedging strategies using weekly price data for 1983-95.  Out-of-sample means and variances of hedged feeding margins using estimated hedge ratios for four commodities suggest that there is no consistent domination pattern among the alternative strategies, leaving the hedging decision up to the agent's degree of risk aversion.  However, all hedging strategies significantly reduce the feeding margin's means and variances compared to no hedging, with variance reduction always exceeding 50%.  Hedging results appear quite sensitive to the data set and its size.

Impact of the Ethanol Boom on Livestock and Dairy Industries: What Are They Going to Eat?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Anderson,   David P.; Anderson,   John D.; Sawyer,   Jason.
Increased demand for corn for ethanol production has helped push grain prices to record levels. This has increased livestock production costs, and producers have responded with changes to production systems. This paper explores the degree to which costs can be mitigated with alternative feeds, the effect this might have on physical performance, and the impact of alternative feeds on the competitive position of different species.
