A hedonic model of lamb carcass attributes
No full textLamb carcass value is widely reported to be a function of lean meat yield, which is the relationship between muscle, fat and bone. Five retailers and five wholesalers assessed 47 lamb carcasses from diverse genotypes and scored seven attributes. A hedonic model reveals that conformation attributes were more highly valued (16 c/kg) relative to yield characteristics (4 c/kg). Meat colour and fat distribution were significant for retailers, but less important for wholesalers. Genotype was not a strong indicator of conformation. Eye muscle area and depth were correlated with Fat C; however, these were not significant. These results indicate that carcass conformation, meat colour and fat distribution should be incorporated into carcass grading models.Hedonic, lamb, conformation and meat value, attributes, Livestock Production/Industries,
THE EFFECT OF MARKET CONCENTRATION ON LAMB MARKETING MARGINS
No full textThe national four-firm concentration ratio in the lamb slaughtering and processing industry increased from 55 percent in 1980 to 70 percent in 1992. The effect of increasing lamb packer concentration on lamb marketing margins is examined. A relative price spread (RPS) model for farm-to-wholesale and wholesale-to-retail marketing margins was estimated using three-stage least squares (3SLS). The 3SLS results indicate that increased lamb packer concentration has had relatively small, positive effects on lamb marketing margins.Lamb industry, Market concentration, Marketing margins, Livestock Production/Industries, Marketing,
Ewe-lamb bonding behaviours at birth are affected by maternal undernutrition in pregnancy
No full textMaternal undernutrition in pregnancy results in low birth-weights and impaired postnatal survival in sheep. Largely anecdotal evidence suggests that the expression of appropriate maternal and neonate behaviours may also be disrupted by undernutrition. In the present study, we investigated the effect of a moderate (35 %) reduction in ewe nutritional intake in pregnancy on the expression of ewe-lamb bonding behaviours in primiparous Scottish Blackface ewes. Low-intake (L) ewes had significantly higher plasma progesterone than high-intake (H) ewes from mid-gestation onwards (e.g. plasma progesterone at 20 weeks (ng/ml): H 15.72, L 22.38, SED 1.80, P</p

The Impact of Domestic and Import Prices on U.S. Lamb Imports: A Production System Approach
No full textAs U.S. lamb imports increased relative to domestic production, and the relative share of chilled to frozen lamb imports increased, importers of chilled lamb have become less responsive to domestic and import prices, while the direct opposite is the case for frozen lamb imports. From 1990 to 2003, chilled lamb imports from Australia and New Zealand became less and less responsive to U.S. prices, and frozen imports became more responsive. Unconditional own-price elasticities also show that, over time, imports of chilled lamb became less responsive to import prices while frozen imports became more responsive to import prices.lamb, demand, imports, trade, import demand, production, International Relations/Trade,
U.S. DEMAND FOR IMPORTED LAMB BY COUNTRY: A TWO-STAGE DIFFERENTIAL PRODUCTION APPROACH
No full textDue to a depressed wool industry sheep inventories have been declining resulting in significant increases in lamb and mutton imports. Goals of this paper are to estimate the derived demand and output supply for U.S. lamb imports, estimate demand elasticities, and to determine the impact of TRQ reductions on imports.Demand and Price Analysis,
