Lamb Production Costs: Analyses of Composition and Elasticities Analysis of Lamb Production Costs
Since lamb is a commodity, producers cannot control the price of the product they sell. Therefore, managing production costs is a necessity. We explored the study of elasticities as a tool for basing decision-making in sheep production, and aimed at investigating the composition and elasticities of lamb production costs, and their influence on the performance of the activity. A representative s...
متن کاملEconomics of callipyge lamb production.
This paper examines the economic implications of callipyge (CLPG) lamb production. The price, as it relates to competing meats and excess fat, significantly impact lamb demand, and CLPG genetics improves those factors. The CLPG phenotype does not affect number or weight of lambs weaned or postweaning ADG, but it does improve postweaning feed efficiency by approximately 10%; dressing percentage ...
متن کاملSimulation of lean lamb production systems.
A series of simulations were performed to evaluate the effects of mature size (WMA; 60, 70, 80 and 90 kg), slaughter weight (SW; 55, 60 and 65 kg) and three diets fed to feedlot lambs. Rations included a traditional diet (C2L) or placing weaned lambs on alfalfa for either 30 (A30) or 60 (A60) d before placing them on the C2L diet (A30-C2L and A60-C2L). Two lamb pricing schemes were used in the ...
متن کاملLamb Production from Booroola X Collinsville Ewes
Booroola Merino, Border Leicester and Collinsville Merino rams were joined in three successive years to Collinsville ewes and ewe progeny from all three groups were subsequently joined with Dorset Horn rams at Leeton Agricultural Research Station. When data were analysed for performance at up to five joinings and lambings, there were significant differences among the ewe groups in ovulation rat...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of electric power production costs
Electricity cannot be conviently stored. Thus there should be sucient production at all times to meet the demand for electric power. If a low-cost generating unit fails this will lead to its substitution by a higher cost unit. The cost of producing electric power is a random variable because it depends upon two uncertain quantities, demand and the availability of the generating units. Analytic...
