Low Cost Feeding Strategies for Dual Purpose Cattle in Venezuela
This simulation study was to evaluate low cost feeding strategies in response to higher cost of commercial concentrates to maintain current milk sales from dual purpose cattle herds in the humid lowlands of western Venezuela. Data were from farm surveys in 1987 and 1988. Baseline net margins from milk and beef per cow per year were $132 and $99 for two farm cases with average dally milk of 10 a...
متن کاملTotal merit indices in dual purpose cattle
The economic efficiency of dual purpose cattle is influenced by a large number of traits which may be classified in groups of dairy, beef and functional traits. The combination of estimated breeding values for single traits in a total merit index, as long practised in some Scandinavian countries, is currently being implemented in a number of Central European states. Economic values for populati...
متن کاملMeasuring Beef Cattle Efficiency in Australian Feedlots: Applying Technical Efficiency and Productivity Analysis Methods
Intensive livestock systems differ from most pasture-based systems in that managers exert much greater control over the production cycle and the quality of animals entering the system. Consequently, technical inefficiencies among animals tend to be much more easily eradicated. Nevertheless, a range of factors could still cause both technical inefficiency and variations in productivity between a...
متن کاملMeasuring Technical Efficiency in Sports
Standard economic production theory is the basis for measuring technical efficiency in sports. Using programming or regression models, efficiency is defined as the distance of a given team observation from the technology. In this paper, we show that the standard measures of efficiency using deterministic models are biased downward due to serial correlation with respect to the efficiency measure...
متن کاملMeasuring the Technical Efficiency of Canola Farmers and Determining the Effective Factors in Tabriz County, Iran
The purpose of this study was to measure the technical efficiency of canola farmers and determine the underpinning factors. Required data were collected using stratified random sampling method and questionnaire survey. In this context, 157 canola farmers from Tabriz County, Iran, were asked to fill out the questionnaire in 2012-2013 growing season. The technical efficiency was evaluated using s...
