The pasture system provided the lowest present value of investment, labor, and energy costs for most energy-labor cost combinations studied. It was followed by partial confinement and then total confinement. System break-even feed efficiencies and labor costs were also calculated. 000278391 546__ $$aEnglish 000278391 650__ $$aLivestock Production/Industries 000278391 700__ $$aKliebenstein, James B. 000278391 700__ $$aMcWilliams, Stephen A. 000278391 8560_ $$fdornb037@umn.edu 000278391 8564_ $$9250754f0-2712-4a95-b253-47877b3b5cf5$$s1142301$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/278391/files/aaea-1980-001.pdf 000278391 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:278391$$pGLOBAL_SET 000278391 913__ $$aBy depositing this Content ('Content') in AgEcon Search, I agree that I am solely responsible for any consequences of uploading this Content to AgEcon Search and making it publicly available, and I represent and warrant that: I am either the sole creator and the owner of the copyrights and all other rights in the Content; or, without obtaining another’s permission, I have the right to deposit the Content in an archive such as AgEcon Search.
