The use of traditional feedstocks for biofuel production has brought about large changes to
food and agricultural systems. As livestock producers adapt to rising feed costs, the prospect …

The relationship between complete-feed prices and ingredient prices is estimated in order to
analyze the effect of higher commodity prices on feed costs, with particular attention paid to …

The feed ingredient price increases that have adversely affected livestock producers may be
offset through the use of coproducts from one of the potential reasons for the price increase …

This study examines interfeed substitution with a focus on the relationship between distiller's
dried grain with solubles (DDGS) and traditional feed grains. The dynamic linear logit model …

Prior research presumes that the US livestock feed demand for dried distillers grains with
solubles (DDGS) can accommodate the rapid growth in DDGS production. The objective of …

We show how yield shocks (deviations from a time trend), which are likely attributable to
random weather fluctuations, can facilitate estimation of both demand and supply elasticities …

ABSTRACT Although 140 biodiesel plants produced 1.2 billion litres of biodiesel in 2010,
very little crude glycerin has been used in animal feeds in the United States due to the …

The purpose of this paper was to identify effective dairy farm management adjustments
related to recent structural changes in agricultural commodity markets because of expanded …

Farmgate prices (ie price delivered roadside ready for loading and transport) for biomass
feedstocks directly influence biofuel prices. Using the latest available data, marginal (ie price …

The rapid growth of biofuels production, particularly in the United States, the EU, and Brazil,
has had important implications for the global livestock industry—both by raising the cost of …
