Abstract:
This paper introduces a mathematical model of control for an animal epidemic outbreak in an ideal farm. What has been considered for this is poultry, aquaculture or livestock affected by an infectious disease (without immunity), which moderately threatens its economic performance and the local biosecurity. In this context, a control strategy is proposed, which is described by a sequence of rotative partial quarantines, where a fraction of the infected livestock is isolated to receive special care (hospitalization). A parametric threshold is obtained, ensuring a future healthy livestock. Furthermore, some economic and epidemiologic consequences have been studied.

Abstract:
There is a common misperception that economics is about money. People holding this view will expect a paper on the economic aspects of animal welfare to quote various financial figures representing the effects on the costs of production, or on the consumer prices of animal products, from adjustments in production methods designed to ‘improve’ the welfare of farm livestock. Under such a view it would seem that better animal welfare is a cost to people, but a benefit to animals.However, this is too simplistic a view of what economics is really about. Economic analysis is built up from a model that treats all economic activity as a series of resource-using processes undertaken to benefit people (considered collectively, not any particular subgroup) . Livestock production is one such economic process. It takes resources (land, feed, labour, animals, veterinary services, etc) and transforms them into commodities that people want - milk, meat, eggs, wool, etc. In economic terms, livestock production is simply the exploitation of animals for human benefit. Logically, any change in this process which is subject to decision (as opposed to factors outside human control) will only take place if people want it.

Abstract:
Livestock farming which contributes 11 percent of the total GDP and 32 percent of agriculture GDP is mostly managed by farm household and small enterprise in Nepal. The study aims to analyze the economic rationale of livestock holding using the benefit-cost ratio of livestock farming by the household level and to assess the determinants of dairy cattle herd size in small farm households. The study was conducted in Dalchoki, a ward of Konjyosom rural municipality of Lalitpur district in the months of October and November, 2016. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 178 households using census method following the inclusion criteria as least five goat or a cow or a buffalo. Cost items included feeding cost, livestock purchasing cost, labour cost, insemination, veterinary cost, shed and equipment cost whereas benefit items consisted value of milk, live animal and meat and egg, draught power, value of manure among others. Linear regression was employed to examine the determinants of dairy cattle herd size. The results showed positive net benefit from animal husbandry with labor cost excluded and negative net benefit with labour cost included. The regression results showed that landholding size, remittance, net benefit, ethnicity and economically active family members have positive effect in determining size of the number of dairy cattle.

Abstract:
The objective ofthis thesis is to expand on the literature of animal health economics by the development of a system of economic models capable of assessing the wider economic impacts of livestock diseases (part I) and to apply the theory ofdamage control to the use ofveterinary inputs (Part II). The first part ofthis thesis examines the wider economic impact of 35 livestock diseases in Great Britain. Besides the costs of disease losses, treatment and control, it also covers their consequences for animal welfare and human health. A uniform framework was developed to calculate these wider economic effects. The information was compiled using a combination of secondary data, originating from veterinary literature and government statistics, and several surveys. Also, disease effects were valued at the margin given their marginal impact on domestic .' . and international markets of livestock products. Spreadsheet models were built based on the developed framework and using the collected data, which enables comparison of the economic importance of different livestock diseases. The thesis presents two examples ofhow this framework can be used to (1) find the optimal level of disease control for a particular disease control measure, and (2) set priorities for government expenditure on research, disease control, education and/or surveillance. The second part ofthis thesis presents the first known application of damage control theory to livestock disease. This theory distinguishes between damage abatement inputs (such as veterinary inputs) and produ<;tive inputs, as their role in the production process differs. The combination oftechnical/economic information (Farm Business Survey) and disease incidence information (National Milk Records; mastitis in dairy herds) created a unique new dataset. It was found that this application was reasonably successful, given the expeCted high variation in disease incidence and control measures, as well as the quality ofthe data. With respect to policy implications, the results suggest that there is a general overutilisation of veterinary inputs in dairy systems in England compared to the economically optimal level, but also in relation to the use ofother inputs. Unlike the spreadsheet-based models, applications of damage control theory require more detailed epidemiological, economical and farm management information.

Abstract:
In Mongolia, a range of activities configures time in a spatial way, something echoed in anthropological and social scientific concerns with various forms of ‘timespace’ (May and Thrift 2001, Bear 2014, 2015). Drawing inspiration from the indigenous Mongol term üye (lit. joint, time, generation), I develop a concept of ‘jointed-ness’ to analyse articulated interconnections between different forms of pastoral (and non-pastoral) timespace. Attending to the interconnections of different fora of spatio-temporalised activity, I reveal the dynamic and emergent nature of a livestock-based economy. Since the end of socialism (early 1990s), subsistence household-based herding has replaced collectives employing salaried labourers. Livestock and animal products, sold at seasonally specific times, form major sources of income in conditions I refer to as ‘animal-originating capitalism’. Exploring how the time of pastoral economic life is spatialised in animals as commodities for sale, my work moves beyond studies of the social origins of commodity status (Appadurai 1986, Kopytoff 1986). I thereby show how current Mongolian human-animal relations are not only indexical of the collapse of collective herding, but motors of new forms of economic life. This thesis has three Parts. Part I explores human-animal relations underpinning pastoral economic life, including views of plenty in livestock (Chapter 1) and the temporality of rural labour (Chapter 2). Part II examines the accumulation of livestock, and how this relates to particular forms of personhood. It examines ethics linking livestock accumulation and masculinity (Chapter 3) and, conversely, how these ethics can be destabilized (Chapter 4). Part III analyses how these economic forms are scaled. It examines the temporalisation of cash loans secured against local livestock (Chapter 5), and how this sense of locality is scaled in relation to national and international trade networks (Chapter 6).

This dissertation examines several different issues regarding pricing and contracting decisions as well as risk management practices affecting the Unites States livestock industry. The resulting policy and market implications are applicable to industry stakeholders in the beef cattle industry. Each topic is presented in the following chapters. Chapter 1 uses time series techniques to identify movements in regional fed cattle prices under a mandatory price reporting system. Mandatory price reporting altered the structure of livestock markets by requiring supply and demand conditions to be reported twice daily thereby affecting the price discovery process. Results suggest the level of information flow and the transparency of prices increased, markets respond to new information quicker, and larger volume markets behave as a price leader to smaller markets with less volume. Chapter 2 uses closeout data to measure the variability of profits in fed cattle production. A mean-variance approach was used to model yield risk factors relevant to and known at the time cattle are placed on feed. Results indicate yield factors were influenced by several preconditioning variables such as gender, placement weight, feedlot location, placement season, and overall animal health and vitality. Estimates from the yield equations were then used to simulate the overall ex-ante distribution of expected profits for the cattle feeder and the results provide information regarding the effect of production risk and price risk on cattle feeding profits.

Abstract:
This dissertation studies the demand for imported and domestic demand models for meat and livestock. The first essay focuses on the separability between import and domestic meat demand and the performance of static versus dynamic models of consumer behavior. A new dynamic system of demand functions is developed and used to test the separability restrictions on U.S. meat consumption data. Our results indicate that imported meat consumption is non-separable from the U.S. consumption and a dynamic specification of the AIDS model is superior to the static AIDS model. The second essay analyzes the demand for domestic and imported livestock by the US meat processing industry and explores the existence of long-run relationships in the derived demand models which are required for the specification of dynamic demand models. The results indicate that the static inverse input demand model performed better than the dynamic models for both the beef and pork processing industries. The results of this study indicate that there is not a long run relationship in the variables of the inverse demand models for livestock. The third essay investigates the impact of the discovery BSE in Canadian cattle on the imported and domestic demand for livestock and meat in the United States. The analysis is based on the results of the first and second essays of the dissertation. A multi-market partial equilibrium model is utilized to simulate the effects of policy-induced shifts in quantities of imports supplied from Canada on the meat and livestock industries. Our simulation results predict small effects on cattle and the results are similar to prediction from Armington type models even though separability strongly rejected.

Abstract:
AbstractLivestock sector is the backbone of Indian agriculture and plays a crucial role in the development of the rural economy. More than one-fifth (23%) of agricultural households with area less than 0.01 hectare reported livestock as their principal source of income (GoI Government of India (2014) Key indicators of situation of agricultural). Livestock is one of the fastest-growing sectors of Indian agriculture. While the share of overall agriculture and allied sectors in Gross Value Added (GVA) declined from 18.2% in 2014–15 to 17.8% in 2019–20, the share of livestock sector in GVA increased from 4.4% to 5.1% in the same period (GoI Government of India (2021) The economic survey (2020–21). Ministry of Finance. Government of India). Livestock sector accounts for 31% of the gross value of output in agriculture and allied sector (GVOA). Within livestock, milk is the biggest component with 20% share in GVOA. In fact, milk is the largest agriculture commodity in terms of value of output worth INR 772,705 crores in 2018–19 which was more than the value of cereals, pulses, oilseeds and sugarcane combined worth INR 623,462 crores (MoSPI. (2021). National Accounts Statistics 2020. Central Statistical Organization. Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation.). Around 70 million of rural households are engaged in milk production, most of them are landless, marginal, and small farmers (NCAER. (2020). Analyzing Socio-Economic Impact of National Dairy Plan—I. National Council for Applied Economic Research. February 2020.). As a source of livelihood for million of poor households, dairying also supplements their dietary sources of protein and nutrition thus playing a critical role in the country’s food security needs.

Abstract:
Abstract This book chapter tackles the management and economics of east coast fever. At about the time of ILRAD's establishment in 1973, a vaccination procedure was being developed at the East African Veterinary Research Organization (EAVRO) at Muguga, Kenya. The infection-and-treatment method (ITM) is an immunization procedure against ECF. It involves inoculation of live sporozoites of T. parva, usually in the form of a semi-purified homogenate of T. parva-infected ticks, combined with simultaneous treatment with a dose of a long-acting formulation of the antibiotic oxytetracycline. Whilst safe and very effective when administered correctly, production and delivery of this live ECF vaccine is complicated, expensive and time consuming, and at the time of ILRAD's founding, there were doubts as to whether such a procedure was commercially viable. The future for ILRI in the pathology and immunoparasitology of theileriosis will be guided by the vaccine, balanced against the evolving prospects for a subunit vaccine. The future in the epidemiology and economics of ECF management will be developing and evaluating current or novel control methods.

Abstract:
AbstractEvery person sometimes chooses different foods, based in part on preferences developed over time in their family, cultural and community context. Similarly, each farmer has their own way of helping crops and livestock grow, and every food producer transforms ingredients into final products in a unique manner. Individual actions by millions of consumers and producers underpin the food systems we observe. In this chapter, we use analytical diagrams with indifference curves and budget lines to explain food consumption choices and predict how food consumption might change in response to different prices, incomes and preferences. Then we explain production choices using a set of three different analytical diagrams, explaining what is produced using a production possibilities frontier and its revenue line, as well as an input response curve and its profit line, and explaining how each thing is produced using an isoquant and its cost line. Together, these diagrams reveal how changes in prices, natural resources and technology affect agriculture and food production. Finally, we show how consumption and production together explain the choices of family farmers, allowing us to describe a variety of current events in the agricultural sector using economics principles.

Abstract:
Abstract Science can help us understand what animals want and economics can provide the understanding of human motivation needed to deliver such wants. In our view, what needs further development in future is for economics and information/communication science and technology to channel awareness into appropriate action. This chapter elaborates on this idea by providing some illustrative examples. Focusing on animal health and welfare, it argues that there is much scope for improvement in profit and welfare on commercial farms simply by adopting the best disease management approach available. We also emphasize the importance of systems modelling and operations research (OR) in the future to ensure that animal welfare taps into the growing opportunities that developments in these methods are likely to bring. The chapter also argues that OR can provide a bridge between animal welfare science, economics and business to deliver improvements in animal welfare through food markets. The importance of big data and precision livestock farming in livestock production/reproduction, animal health and welfare, and the environmental impact of livestock production are also discussed. New genetic approaches to optimize livestock resilience and efficiency are highlighted. We argue that tackling difficult problems, such as sustainability (that encompasses animal welfare alongside environment and climate change), efficiency and resilience in farm animal production systems, is and will remain a vital focus of research in the agri-food sector. Research methods and governance still need to change to properly reflect this. It is envisaged that animal welfare will be affected by these developments and should, wherever appropriate, be explicitly considered.

Abstract:
Agriculture contributes about 20% to the Gross Domestic Prod­uct in Albania. It is one of the main sectors of the Albanian economy, which supports and impacts other important sectors such as tourism, product pro­cessing and exports. In the conditions of the globalization of the economy, the free movement of goods and capital, and multilateral and bilateral agreements for the remov­al of tariff barriers, Albanian agriculture faces the challenges of very strong competition from the countries of the region, EU countries and beyond. In these conditions of strong competition, what can make Albanian agricul­ture survive, is that its products appear not only in the domestic market and those of the region but also in the international markets of goods and prod­ucts. The ambitions of our country for the development of intensive, year-round, coastal and mountain tourism, elite and agrotourism, requires the increase of the quantity, quality and lowest possible prices of agricultural and livestock products, in order to avoid the competition of imported goods that can be traded at lower prices. How should agriculture, farmers, livestock, agricultural and livestock pro­duction be stimulated? Should they be incentivized through exemp­tions from the tax system or should the process of stimulating production through subsidizing the elements of agricultural and livestock production be used more efficiently? The strategy implemented in our country has strengthened tax exemptions for inputs, agricultural and livestock products, farmers’ income, etc. This strat­egy intends to promote the cooperation of agricultural and livestock produc­tion in Agricultural Cooperation Societies by offering minimum tax rates. Considering the great impact that agriculture has on the economy, especial­ly in the tourism sector, we will deal with the tax policies applied in the agri­culture and livestock sector and the effects of tax incentives over the years. The objective is not only to support the farmers and livestock farmers with funds but also to ensure tax relief and stimulate tax treatment for agricul­tural and livestock production, aiming to increase competitiveness not only in the regional market but also in the EU market, without compromising the quality of the product.

Abstract:
This paper presents a practical solution to improve the current overall corn ethanol economics. It is our intent in this paper also to focus our attention on extraction of corn ethanol and distillers dry grains with solubles (DDGS) employing the dry milling process since it appears to offer the greatest opportunity for substantial improvement. Alternate corn ethanol wet mill processing for the extraction of gluten protein meal for livestock food is also briefly described. A hybrid integrated steam jet refrigeration/freeze concentration system (ISJR/FCS) is proposed for the extraction of corn ethanol and DDGS in dry milling process. Technical feasibility of substantially reducing corn ethanol first cost on a life cycle basis as well as current operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions is demonstrated employing an actual case study.

Abstract:
With its agricultural policy, the European Union wants to encour­age member states to invest in agricultural production, production and pro­motion of quality agricultural products, care for the environment, develop­ment of rural areas, increase market transparency, and encourage innova­tion in agriculture. The main challenges for agricultural production in the European Union are global market competition, economic and political cri­ses, climate change and rising costs of production factors. The European Union wants to provide support for the sustainable income of agricultural holdings and the stability of the agricultural sector, and it contributes great­ly to the financing of agriculture in the member states. In this way, the aim is to ensure the long-term security of the food supply and the agricultural diversity of the member states. The paper states the objectives of the agri­cultural policy of the European Union, researches and analyzes data on the number of employees in agriculture, the age structure of farmers, the size of agricultural holdings, agricultural and livestock production, fishing and promotional activities of agricultural production in the European Union.

Abstract:
Today’s climatic, ecological, and social challenges impose pres­sure on decision-makers to provide systemic solutions in all areas of busi­ness, including agribusiness. The changes that take place within the do­mestic regulatory framework need to be harmonized with the internation­al legal framework of the sustainable development of the European Union. This will directly affect new solutions for achieving the goals of sustainable development. Modern livestock farms imply the use of modern agricultur­al mechanization following BAT techniques. The application of the princi­ples of BAT techniques should be included in all stages of the production process on the farm. This includes planning, operation, maintenance as well and closing the farm according to acceptable technical and economic con­ditions, all to achieve the highest possible level of environmental protection. This work aims to point out the importance of BAT techniques in agribusi­ness through the prism of sustainable development in the Republic of Ser­bia. The first part of the paper analyzes the impact of global trends on agri­business in Serbia. The second part indicates the importance of applying BAT techniques for sustainable development, while the third part of the pa­per examines the possibility of applying BAT techniques from the aspect of animal husbandry.

Abstract:
Anaerobic digestion (AD) has gained popularity as an effective way to treat organic materials, produce clean energy, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. There is a significant number of large-scale AD facilities operating world-wide, largely treating livestock wastes, and used primarily for electricity production in industrialized countries. At the same time, there are millions of small, household-scale ADs deployed in developing countries, mostly to provide biogas resources for heating and cooking. Decentralized low-volume AD systems could provide a local, renewable energy source (for electricity, heating, or both), reduce or eliminate waste disposal costs, and limit discharges of high strength wastes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of deploying low-volume anaerobic digestion (LVAD) systems at institutions generating significant food waste, using Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) as a case study. Mass flows and energy balance, net present value (NPV), and discounted payback period (DPP) were used to assess the feasibility of implementing an anaerobic digestion system utilizing the campus organic waste resources. Our study showed that a positive NPV can be achieved if subsidies and incentives were applied to offset the initial capital investment. However, the economics can be improved by driving down equipment cost and accepting food waste from other establishments to generate revenue from tipping fees.

Full text
Abstract:
Research Objectives 1) Reviewing the rich economic literature on contracting and agricultural contracting; 2) Conducting a descriptive comparative study of actual contracting patterns in the U.S. and Israeli agricultural sectors; 3) Theoretical analysis of division of assets ownership, authority allocation and incentives in agricultural production contracts; 4) Theoretical analysis of strategic noncompetitive choice of agricultural production and marketing contracts, 5) Empirical studies of contracting in agricultural sectors of US and Israel, among them the broiler industry, the citrus industry and sugar beet sector. Background Recent decades have witnessed a world-wide increase in the use of agricultural contracts. In both the U.S. and Israel, contracts have become an integral part of production and marketing of many crops, fruits, vegetables and livestock commodities. The increased use of agricultural contracts raises a number of important economic policy questions regarding the optimal design of contracts and their determinants. Even though economists have made a substantial progress in understanding these issues, the theory of contracts and an empirical methodology to analyze contracts are still evolving. Moreover, there is an enormous need for empirical research of contractual relationships. Conclusions In both U.S. and Israel, contracts have become an integral part of production and marketing of many agricultural commodities. In the U.S. more than 40% of the value of agricultural production occurred under either marketing or production contracts. The use of agricultural contracts in Israel is also ubiquitous and reaches close to 60% of the value of agricultural production. In Israel we have found strategic considerations to play a dominant role in the choice of agricultural contracts and may lead to noncompetitive conduct and reduced welfare. In particular, the driving force, leading to consignment based contracts is the strategic effect. Moreover, an increase in the number of contractors will lead to changes in the terms of the contract, an increased competition and payment to farmers and economic surplus. We found that while large integrations lead to more efficient production, they also exploit local monopsonistic power. For the U.S, we have studied in more detail the choice of contract type and factors that affect contracts such as the level of informational asymmetry, the authority structure, and the available quality measurement technology. We have found that assets ownership and decision rights are complements of high-powered incentives. We have also found that the optimal allocation of decision rights, asset ownership and incentives is influenced by: variance of systemic and idiosyncratic shocks, importance (variance) of the parties’ private information, parameters of the production technology, the extent of competition in the upstream and downstream industries. Implications The primary implication of this project is that the use of agricultural production and marketing contracts is growing in both the US and Israeli agricultural sectors, while many important economic policy questions are still open and require further theoretical and empirical research. Moreover, actual contracts that are prevailing in various agricultural sectors seems to be less than optimal and, hence, additional efforts are required to transfer the huge academic know-how in this area to the practitioners. We also found evidence for exploitation of market powers by contactors in various agricultural sectors. This may call for government regulations in the anti-trust area. Another important implication of this project is that in addition to explicit contracts economic outcomes resulting from the interactions between growers and agricultural intermediaries depend on a number of other factors including allocation of decision and ownership rights and implicit contracting. We have developed models to study the interactions between explicit contracts, decision rights, ownership structure, and implicit contracts. These models have been applied to study contractual arrangements in California agriculture and the North American sugarbeet industry.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper analyzes the role of global land-use in determining potential greenhouse gas mitigation by land-based activities in agriculture and forestry. Land-based activities are responsible for over a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet the economics of land-use decisions have not been explicitly modeled in global mitigation studies. In this paper, we develop a new, general equilibrium framework which effectively captures the opportunity costs of land-use decisions in agriculture and forestry, thereby allowing us to analyze competition for heterogeneous land types across and within sectors and input substitution between land and other factors of production. In our analysis of carbon taxation, we find significant changes in the global pattern of comparative advantage as a result of differential mitigation costs across sectors, regions, and land types. We find that forest carbon sequestration is the dominant strategy for GHG emissions mitigation globally in the land using sectors. However, when compared to the rest of the world, land-use emissions abatement in the US and China comes disproportionately from agriculture, and, within agriculture, disproportionately from reductions in fertilizer-related emissions. In the world as a whole, agriculture-related mitigation comes predominantly from reduced methane emissions in the ruminant livestock sector, followed by fertilizer and methane emissions from paddy rice. The results also show how analyses that only consider regional mitigation may under- or over-estimate mitigation potential. For example, U.S.-specific analyses likely over-estimate the potential for abatement in agriculture. Finally, we note that this general equilibrium framework provides the research community with a practical methodology for explicit modeling of global land competition and land-based mitigation in comprehensive assessments of greenhouse gas mitigation options.

Abstract:
The feed-food competition for environmental and economic resources raises increasing concerns about the production and supply of protein for the global livestock sector. Risks to food-security and approaching deadlines for global sustainable development, means exploring the potential for alternative protein feeds is imperative. However, as the use of alternative feeds for livestock production is still at its infancy, it is critical that potential direct or indirect food safety risks are evaluated before implementation at commercial scales. This Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) offers a lens that focuses on the potential opportunities and threats of such alternatives for the sustainability and food safety of the global livestock sector. Four potential alternative protein sources for livestock feeds are identified and evaluated through this REA: genetically modified / engineered protein crops and alternative cultivation methods cellular agriculture former foods, food waste and industry by-products and waste streams animal by-products and insects Through this analysis, a strategic policy roadmap and research agenda are synthesised to facilitate higher-level policy making, supporting local solutions for global sustainable development and a more food-secure future. The four broad directions for policy making and research the REA proposes are: decoupling protein production from fossil fuel developing sustainable economic strategies for alternative proteins at a subnational level supporting circular livestock feed solutions further enhancing the feed and food regulatory system

Abstract:
Drought imposes significant costs on the U.S. agricultural sector, particularly livestock producers who rely on precipitation to grow forage. The U.S. Department of Agriculture administers several programs to mitigate the economic costs of drought. One of these programs is the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP), which provides payments to livestock producers impacted by drought. Program evaluation results suggest that producers in drought affected counties that received LFP payments achieved similar herd retention and liquidation outcomes as producers in less drought impacted counties that were ineligible for LFP payments. Modeling results suggest that LFP poses a financial-climate risk to the Federal budget. Depending on the future emissions scenario, annual Federal Government expenditures on LFP are projected to increase above the current average expenditures by 45–135 percent (in 2022 dollars) by 2100

Abstract:
This study aims to establish a comprehensive linkage between CO2 emissions and the composition of energy sources, economic growth, and reforestation, thereby shedding light on their intricate connections in Colombia over the period 1970-2018. First, we use different types of energy consumption including non-renewable, renewable, and hydroelectric sources. As expected, our findings reveal a noteworthy effect of non-renewable sources that lead to increased emissions, while renewable sources help mitigate those emissions. Second, the preservation of forested areas plays a crucial role in mitigating CO2 emissions. Third, the agricultural sector significantly contributes to the rise in emissions, encompassing both crops and livestock, a characteristic often observed in emerging economies. Moreover, in the long-run equilibrium, we find real GDP show the characteristic inverted U-shaped pattern commonly linked with the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis.

Abstract:
Over the past decade, biofuels production in the EU and US has boomed - much of this due to government mandates and subsidies. The US has now surpassed Brazil as the world's leading producer of ethanol. The economic and environmental impact of these biofuel programs has become an important question of public policy. Due to the complex intersectoral linkages between biofuels and crops, livestock as well as energy activities, CGE modeling has become an important tool for their analysis. This chapter reviews recent developments in this area of economic analysis, and suggests directions for future research.
