ABSTRACTS: THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF ANIMAL RELATED PHOSPHORUS
MANAGEMENT ON VERMONT DAIRY FARMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dodd,
Alyssa; Halbrendt,
Catherine K.; Nicholson,
Charles F.
Excessive phosphorus loading has been identified as the primary cause of decreasing water quality in Lake Champlain.
Dairy
farms are the major source of phosphorus pollution to the lake and are targeted to reduce phosphorus run-off. The goal of this
research is to determine the farm-level financial impact of phosphorus management on different sizes of Vermont dairy farms.
Farm financial performance following implementation of manure management is simulated by farm size (60 cows, 150 cows, and
350 cows) over a ten-year time horizon using the Farm Level Income and Policy Simulation Modeling System (FLIPSim). Results
indicate that implementation of Milking Waste Management practices have the smallest financial impact on all three farm sizes.
For the small...

AGROINDUSTRIALIZATION THROUGH INSTITUTIONAL INNOVATION: TRANSACTIONS
COSTS, COOPERATIVES AND MILK-MARKET DEVELOPMENT IN THE ETHIOPIAN
HIGHLANDS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Holloway,
Garth J.; Nicholson,
Charles F.; Delgado,
Christopher L.
Some small-holders are able to generate reliable and substantial income flows through small-scale dairy production for the local
market; for others, a set of unique transactions costs hinders participation. Cooperative selling institutions are potential catalysts
for mitigating these costs, stimulating entry into the market, and precipitating growth in rural communities. Trends in cooperative
organization in East-African dairy are evaluated. Empirical work focuses on alternative techniques for effecting participation
among a representative sample of periurban milk producers in the Ethiopian highlands. The techniques considered are a modern
production practice (cross-bred cow use), a traditional production practice (indigenous-cow use), three...

DAIRY COW OWNERSHIP AND CHILD NUTRITIONAL STATUS IN KENYA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nicholson,
Charles F.; Mwangi,
Lucy; Staal,
Steven J.; Thornton,
Philip K.
Dairy cow ownership has been widely promoted by a number of development projects in Kenya (and other countries in East
Africa) for the last two decades, and the country has the largest population of smallholder producers with dairy cows in
sub-Saharan Africa. Supporters of dairy development efforts often have assumed that there will be positive nutritional impacts
from increased milk consumption by dairy cow-owning households. This expectation has been further strengthened by recent
research findings about the micronutrient benefits of animal product consumption. However, the nutritional impacts of more
intensive dairying have received relatively little study to date in East Africa. This paper develops a conceptual framework that
identifies key pathways...

Dairy Cow Ownership and Child Nutritional Status in Kenya
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nicholson,
Charles F.; Mwangi,
Lucy; Staal,
Steven J.; Thornton,
Philip K.
This study examines the hypothesis that dairy cow ownership improves child nutritional status. Using household data from
coastal and highland Kenya, three econometric model formulations are estimated. Positive impacts on chronic malnutrition are
observed for coastal Kenya. No negative effects on acute or chronic malnutrition are found for either region.

Financial Performance and Other Characteristics of On-Farm Dairy Processing Enterprises in New
York, Vermont and Wisconsin
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nicholson,
Charles F.; Stephenson,
Mark W.
In the last decade or two there has been a resurgence of interest in value-added agriculture, driven by consumer characteristics and
the desire of farmers to capture a larger share of the consumer dollar. Federal, state and local governments have funded various
efforts to support value-added agriculture, often implicitly assuming that the enterprises would be profitable and that the transition
from commodity producer to producer-processor-marketer-distributor would be relatively easy. Some analysts (e.g., Streeter and
Bills, 2003) have questioned both of these assumptions, noting that available aggregate data do not allow assessment of the
financial performance of value-added enterprises. In the major milk-producing states, on-farm processing of milk is...

Federal, state and local governments have funded various efforts to support value added agriculture, often implicitly assuming that
the enterprises would be profitable and that the transition from commodity producer to producer-processor-marketer-distributor
would be relatively easy. Some analysts (e.g., Streeter and Bills; 2003a, 2003b) have questioned both of these assumptions, noting
that available aggregate data do not allow assessment of the financial performance of value-added enterprises. Our study collected
detailed financial information from 27 value-added dairy enterprises with cows, goats or sheep in three states. These businesses
processed and marketed cheese, fluid milk products and yogurt; 17 had begun processing during the previous three...

IMPACTS OF THE NORTHEAST INTERSTATE DAIRY COMPACT ON NEW ENGLAND MILK
SUPPLY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nicholson,
Charles F.; Resosudarmo,
Budy P.; Wackernagel,
Rick.
A two-equation random coefficients model is developed to examine the impact of the Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact on cow
numbers, milk per cow, and milk production during July 1997 to June 1998. The Compact is estimated to have increased milk
production by 1%, primarily due to increased milk per cow.

IMPACTS OF THE NORTHEAST INTERSTATE DAIRY COMPACT ON NEW ENGLAND MILK
SUPPLY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nicholson,
Charles F.; Resosudarmo,
Budy P.; Wackernagel,
Rick.
A two-equation random coefficients model and two estimates of milk prices in the absence of the Northeast Interstate Dairy
Compact (Compact) are used to estimate the impact of minimum price regulation for fluid milk products on milk production in the
New England states. Estimated responses to price enhancement differed by state for cow numbers, but parameters for milk per
cow were not significantly different among states. The amount of increase in milk production attributed to the Compact is
estimated at 45 million pounds (about 1% of production) during the first year of minimum price regulation, primarily due to
increased milk per cow.

Jaimie.
This paper examines the impacts of the Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact (Compact) on the Women, Infants and Children
(WIC) program using an autoregressive-moving average (ARMA) model and data from Boston and Hartford. While the results
for Boston indicate that the difference between the net fluid milk price paid by WIC program and the forecasted fluid milk price
with no Compact in effect was not significant over the period of July 1997 to June 1998, the results for Hartford suggest that the
net price paid by WIC was significantly greater than the forecasted price with no Compact in effect over the same period. A
similar analysis of the changes in markups suggests that the increase in the net fluid milk price paid by the WIC program in
Hartford was...

MEXICO'S DAIRY SECTOR IN THE 1990S: A DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nicholson,
Charles F.
Mexico's dairy sector is diverse. Regional differences in production systems and seasonality, processing technology and
infrastructure, and consumer preferences and purchasing power imply a strong need for spatial disaggregation in analysis of the
country's dairy industry. This bulletin summarizes the characteristics of milk production, dairy processing, consumer demand, and
trade in dairy products in Mexico as of 1994. Expenditure elasticities for eight dairy products estimated from household
expenditure surveys indicate the potential for future growth in dairy product demand. A dairy components balance for Mexico in
1992 indicates significant discrepancies in aggregate dairy production, consumption, and trade data. Future studies of the Mexico's
dairy...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nicholson,
Charles F.; Thornton,
Philip K.
Anthropometric measurements for children and household characteristics were collected form 198 households in coastal Kenya to
examine the impacts of dairy technology adoption on nutritional status. Random effects models indicate that dairy technology
adoption positively influences chronic malnutrition, but that dairy consumption has a larger impact than adoption per se.

Autores: Nicholson,
Charles F.; Bishop,
Phillip M.
World trade in dairy products is being transformed by trade policy liberalization and technological change in dairy processing.
The mixed complementarity problem formulation to modeling product-specific dairy trade can overcome a number of the
limitations of existing optimization models, and can facilitate desirable extensions to previous analyses.
