Dr. John Lawrence, Professor of Economics at Iowa State University
and Dir of the Iowa Beef Center, recently completed an economic analysis
of the impact of pharmaceutical technologies on U.S. beef production
using 2005 cattle prices and production input costs.
The combined economics indicate that these technologies produced a
direct cost savings to producers of $365 per head of beef cattle raised.
Selling prices would have to increase by 36% to cover the increase in
costs without these technologies.
