Resumen
Descripción
Increased demand for corn for ethanol production has helped push grain prices to record
levels. This has increased livestock production costs, and producers have responded with
changes to production systems. This paper explores the degree to which costs can be
mitigated with alternative feeds, the effect this might have on physical performance, and the
impact of alternative feeds on the competitive position of different species.
