Abstract

Excerpts from the report Preface: The major purpose of this study was to analyze the feed manufacturing characteristics and efficiency of cooperatives which specialized in producing three main types of primary feeds: poultry, dairy, and livestock. Each of these were classified into one of three categories: where the major type comprised 75 percent or more of the total feed produced; 50 to 74.9 percent of the total; and less than 50 percent of the total. This study covered 1,810 cooperative establishments which manufactured 1,000 tons or more of formula feed in 1969. More limited analysis also was made of cooperatives on the basis of the importance of feed manufacturing to gross income. One group consisted of those where feed manufacturing was one of the three largest sources of gross income. The other included those where feed manufacturing was the major gross income source. Unexpanded (preliminary) data were available for 1,615 establishments. Data for this report were obtained from the nation-wide study of feed manufacturing by all firms made by the Economic Research Service and Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service in 1970.
