Feed use of grain: on trends and determinants
研究发现经济增长中资本积累和劳动力流出导致畜牧业采用资本密集且谷物密集的生产技术,从而增加饲料谷物使用,减少传统饲料,并提高禽肉和猪肉产量占比。
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.
