Feed Use of Grain: On Trends and Determinants

Author

  • Mergos, George J

Abstract

This paper shows that changes in factor use in the course of economic growth, especially capital accumulation and labor outflow from agriculture, lead to the introduction, in the livestock sector, of capital-intensive techniques of production that are also grain intensive. This leads to higher use of feed grain, lower use of traditional feeds, and to a higher share in output for poultry and pigs. The paper concludes that long-term prospects are for high growth in feed grain use. Copyright 1989 by Oxford University Press.
