Modeling Dynamic Agricultural Production Response: The Case of Swine Production
构建了一个基于微分方程的生物生长生产模型，用于分析生猪生产中的最优投入和替换决策，强调生长函数对动态生产决策的关键作用。
Abstract Crop and livestock production processes are typically dynamic and involve growing biological assets which are eventually marketed. This study presents a production model of biological growth based on a differential equation specification. Economic implications for optimal input use and optimal replacement policy are discussed in this context. The approach is applied to the growing‐finishing phase of a swine production enterprise. The results demonstrate that the knowledge of the growth function is crucial in evaluating dynamic production decisions.
