Economic Impacts of Zilmax(R) Adoption in Cattle Feeding

Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2011, vol. 36, issue 3, 15

Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration recently approved the feeding of Zilmax(R) for cattle in the United States. This study determines direct net return benefits for early-adopting cattle feeders and beef packers. In addition, longer-run producer and consumer surplus measures are estimated as adoption impacts market prices and quantities. After markets adjust, cow-calf producers, cattle feeders, and consumers will gain from adopting the new technology.
