Affects livestock resource transformation process
Results in extra resource use
Fewer animal products then before
Describe the losses due to mastitis in a dairy herd!
Mastitis subclinical/clinical → reduced milk receipts (↓milk production/quality, discarded)
→ premature disposal
→ treatment costs (vet, drugs, extra labor)
. What is the production function? Give an example assuming you as veterinary consultant recommend an anthelmintic preventive procedure for a dairy unit!
Production function – relationship between amount of input & the output produced
Number of doses compared to the kg of weight gain
We are modeling the effects of the yearly number of veterinary visits on the farm profit in a pig breeding unit. At first we use the current prices for both inputs & outputs, but in the second place we change the price of piglets. What is the name of the second analysis & for what do we do this?
Sensitivity analysis
Reason for this is to find the break-even point
No visit should be preferred when the MR never exceed the AVC
What is the main difference betw the conventional & the partial budget?
Conventional budget – easiest method of calculating farm profits
Partial budget – method of choice when proposed analysis concerns simple economic comparison with no specific time or high degree of uncertainty & does not affect the whole expense of the farm
