Economic Effects Of A Ban Against Antimicrobial Drugs Used In U.S. Beef Production

Author

Listed:
  • Mathews, Kenneth H., Jr.

Abstract

Economic effects for three scenarios of antimicrobial drug use in livestock production -- a no-ban scenario and two levels of bans -- are examined through cost minimization and a partial equilibrium analysis. Results indicate that regulating antimicrobial drug use in livestock production would increase per-unit costs of producers previously using drugs and reduce beef supplies in the short run, reducing consumer surplus. Producers not previously using drugs would benefit from short-run price increases.
