Abstract

This paper reviews the 'state of the art' in the field of modelling feed demand in the EC. After presenting a general conceptual framework, several methods for empirically estimating feed demand responses to prices changes are classified. Also, a method is proposed for econometrically estimating (1) the allocation of feed ingredients among different livestock categories, (2) the composition of the various livestock rations, and (3) feed input demand elasticities differentiated according to type of livestock, by using aggregate market data. The potentials of this method for covering all marketable feed ingredients will be explored. In conclusion, some pending research issues will be discussed.
