Abstract We analyse the flexibility of EU dairy processors to adjust production to fluctuating economic conditions. For a set of 2,186 firms, we derive production flexibility measures representing the effect of output variations on costs. The results reveal that flexibility is highest in Poland and Italy and lowest in Spain. Several firm-specific factors, such as size and age of the firm, are found to affect firm flexibility. Moreover, we detect a tradeoff between flexibility and technical efficiency for large firms indicating that a sole focus on firm efficiency can be insufficient. Finally, the results show that during economic crisis flexibility can help to sustain profitability.

Initial Classification

The alcohol test is used as the initial classification of milk in dairy farms. It’s used as a measure of the natural pH of milk, which is a critical factor for stabilizing casein micelles in milk serum phase during heating (Barros et al., 2000). In practical conditions the test could be also positive immediately after milking, and this type of milk is rejected by dairy processing industry. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of negative energy balance and low level of blood glucose on incidence of alcohol-positive milk in Holstein high milking cows (Sobhani et al., 2002).
