Policy Scenarios

The supply side of beef industry has not responded well to the rising demand for beef. This industry is still highly dependent on imported beef and feeder cattle for beef production to meet the local demand. The objective of this study is to analyse the impacts of different importation policy scenarios on beef industry in Peninsular Malaysia. A simulation model that based on estimated market model is used to analyse the policy. The findings imply that the number of import cattle for breeding (ICTB) should be maintained, while import of cattle for slaughter or feeder cattle should be increased by 20%. This will improve beef self-sufficiency level while stabilizing beef retail price.

Important Relationship

Abstract The speed of development and adaptation of genomics in our industry as a tool for genetic improvement has been unprecedented. While its greatest contribution has been the enhancement of the predictive accuracy of performance traits, even greater opportunities may exist for the application of genomics in the arena of animal health. Interactions between immune system function and the microbiome is mission critical for an industry that may face increased pressure to find new animal health protocols for animal care. Better understanding of the incorporation of dry matter intake and residual average daily gain EPD’s into decision making will provide greater incentives to improve efficiency. Understanding the economic impact of incremental change in a EPD will aid decision making. A predictive blueprint of genomic characteristics of feeder cattle will allow producers and feed yards to merchandise feeder and fed cattle to specific markets. Greater connection of the beef industry across multiple segments will result in better understanding of the whole beef system. Increasing value within one segment can ultimately result in greater value across multiple segments and true price discovery. Understanding the important relationship of cattle to the environment and society will become increasingly important to maintain sustainable beef production. The natural and unique ability the beef cow possesses to utilize grass resources on lands not fit for cultivation and upcycle those resources to a nutrient dense food for human nutrition is unequaled in nature. This process is sustainable, totally regenerative and beneficial to the environment and society. Beef production is a valuable asset to both public and private grasslands and sustainability of our natural resources. Maintaining grazing on federal lands is good resource management for a viable beef industry. Opportunities exist for greater collaborations between producers, academia, breed associations and national organizations to solve problems and provide better educational opportunities.

The Impact

Abstract The U.S. cow inventory includes approximately 31 million beef cows and 9 million dairy cows, so flow of cattle from dairies into beef production influences the traditional beef industry structure. Dairy-influenced cattle have historically entered the beef supply chain as cull cows and calf-fed Holstein steers. Culled dairy cows account for approximately half of the cows harvested in the United States annually. Fed steers and heifers of dairy influence are estimated to account for 15% of annual steer and heifer slaughter. Advancements in data availability, genomics, and reproductive technologies have enabled more precise selection of dairy replacement heifers and more pregnancies to be allocated to a terminal sire. Recently, the use of beef semen to breed dairy cows that are not desirable for producing replacement heifers has become more widespread. Beef-on-dairy calves are often moved to calf ranches shortly after birth where they are weaned and grown before transitioning to traditional grow yards or feedlots. In comparison to traditional range beef production, calves of dairy origin are weaned at a younger age, have more restricted mobility early in life, and are fed a delivered ration for a greater number of days. While carcasses of dairy-originated fed cattle excel in subcutaneous leanness and marbling, calves originating from dairies typically experience greater morbidity, poorer feed conversion, and poorer dressed yields compared to native fed cattle. Future opportunities to optimize beef production from the dairy herd include refining sire selection to consistently produce high quality calves, reducing variation in calfhood management, and identifying optimal nutrition and growth technology programs for calves from dairies.

Abstract This study estimated movement of feed between regions of Alberta to meet the needs of the beef sector in 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2016, and included barley and wheat grain, grass hay and grass-legume hay, which can be cost-effectively transported. Feed demands of beef and other livestock (i.e., dairy cattle, chickens, pigs, sheep, bison, horses, turkeys and other poultry) were estimated using county-level inventories from Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development and Statistics Canada, and aggregated to 7 land-use regions: Lower Athabasca, Upper Athabasca, Lower Peace, Upper Peace, North Saskatchewan, Red Deer and South Saskatchewan. Feed requirements were sourced from literature and expert opinion pertinent to Canadian context, and feed demand estimated using annualized feeding days and dry matter (DM) intake. Feed available for beef production was estimated from crop yields minus other livestock feed use. Average feed demand for beef production across Alberta was (tons of DM) 2.71 M, 0.68 M, 2.21 M, and 1.95 M for barley and wheat grain, grass hay, and grass-legume hay, respectively. North Saskatchewan, Red Deer and South Saskatchewan accounted for 90% of the total demand for barley and wheat grain and 81% of grass hay and grass-legume hay. South Saskatchewan had the largest feed deficit and required feed movement in all years. Across years, barley grain deficits ranged from -94% to -31%, grass hay deficit from -142% to a surplus of 1.6% and grass-legume hay deficits from -167% to -15%. Unmet deficits at provincial level occurred for barley grain (2006), grass hay (2001) and grass-legume hay (2001, 2006). Wheat was surplus in all years, ranging from 17% to 90%. Feed movement is critical to support beef production in Alberta, and is highly variable depending on crop yield in different regions. This analysis enables the beef industry to assess provincial feed sourcing and environmental footprints.

The establishment of hospital-based school (HBS) in Malaysia is an excellent step forward in helping patients, who are unable to attend school, continue receiving their education. The Education Ministry of Malaysia, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, initiated the idea of (HBS) in response to concerns over the fate of hospitalized children who were missing out on school. However, the effectiveness of the program depends largely on the willingness of teachers to go beyond the school infrastructure and facilities. This study was conducted to identify the level of self-sufficiency of HBS teachers when implementing teaching and learning (PdP) in various aspects such as controlling the concept of entertainment in PdP, motivation and positive attitude of teachers, as well as the state of their emotional and physical health. The study adopted a quantitative method using questionnaires as the key research instrument. Respondents of this study consisted of 95 HBS teachers in Peninsular Malaysia using sampling techniques. The findings of the study showed that the ability and creativity of a teacher to manage various aspects including entertaining, portraying motivational and positive attitude, and maintaining emotional as well as physical health affects the level of preparedness of teachers during PdP in HBS.

Efficiency Gap

A reliable and cost-effective electricity system transition requires both the identification of optimal target states and the definition of political and regulatory frameworks that enable these target states to be achieved. Fundamental optimization models are frequently used for the determination of cost-optimal system configurations. They represent a normative approach and typically assume markets with perfect competition. However, it is well known that real systems do not behave in such an optimal way, as decision-makers do not have perfect information at their disposal and real market actors do not take decisions in a purely rational way. These deficiencies lead to increased costs or missed targets, often referred to as an “efficiency gap”. For making rational political decisions, it might be valuable to know which factors influence this efficiency gap and to what extent. In this paper, we identify and quantify this gap by soft-linking a fundamental electricity market model and an agent-based simulation model, which allows the consideration of these effects. In order to distinguish between model-inherent differences and non-ideal market behavior, a rigorous harmonization of the models was conducted first. The results of the comparative analysis show that the efficiency gap increases with higher renewable energy shares and that information deficits and policy instruments affect operational decisions of power market participants and resulting overall costs significantly.

This paper develops the game models of two symmetric supply chains, each consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer, while both retailers compete in the market with a linear function. The disclosure mechanism is designed when the information of the disrupted demand is asymmetric between supply side and retail side. We first study the model with the full information as a benchmark to explore the effect of asymmetric information on the system. In the case, each manufacturer maximizes her profit while the downstream retailer only obtains the reservation profit. For the case of asymmetric information, each manufacturer can obtain the real information of the disrupted demand by using a menu of contract bundles. For each information structure, there are always robust regions for each manufacturer’s original trading quantity scheme. That is, when the disrupted amount of the demand is sufficiently small, the trading quantity will be unchanged. However, some special measures, e.g., the higher unit wholesale price, should be taken to prevent the retailer from deviating the trading quantity scheme. The high-disruption retailer gets the higher profit due to the information rent. Compared with a single supply chain, Cournot competition results in the less retail price and the lower performance for the whole system.

<p><strong>English</strong><br />The beef self-sufficiency program is aimed at raising beef cattle population to meet national meat consumption. If the program is successful it will reduce imports of live cattle, feeder cattle and beef. Sustainability of this program is expected to achieve beef self-sufficiency in the future. Self-sufficiency is ability to meet domestic demand with beef import of not more than 10 percent which is not produced domestically.  Business of beef cattle breeding today is mostly conducted by small-scale farmers with cow-calf operation pattern usually integrated with other agricultural commodity farms. To increase supply of of feeder cattle and population of beef cattle population at national level it requires certain efforts. In order to enhance cattle breeding business from small-scale to medium-scale ones, some efforts are needed such as integration pattern between crops and cattle. Opportunities for integrating crops and beef cattle are promising. The farmers need to apply technologies to access cheaper feed.  Credit provision with low interest rate and less complicated procedure to the bank for animal procurement will help farmers in increasing their livestock farm scales. Assistance of extension workers and related livestock officers are critically important to farmers in dealing with their beef cattle breeding business.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Program swasembada daging sapi (PSDS) pada dasarnya merupakan kegiatan yang diarahkan untuk meningkatkan populasi sapi potong. Program tersebut diarahkan agar kebutuhan konsumsi daging secara nasional dapat terpenuhi. Keberhasilan program tersebut berimplikasi pada menurunnya prosentase impor baik sapi hidup terutama sapi bakalan maupun daging sapi. Kekurangan daging sapi secara nasional selama ini masih ditanggulangi melalui impor daging maupun sapi hidup yang nilainya cukup besar. Keberlanjutan program ini dimaksudkan agar dimasa mendatang secara perlahan diharapkan Indonesia dapat mencapai swasembada. Pengertian swasembada yang dimaksud adalah besarnya kebutuhan daging asal impor tidak lebih dari 10 persen. Besaran daging impor 10 persen tersebut merupakan daging yang memang belum dapat diproduksi di dalam negeri. Dilihat dari pelaku usaha pembibitan sapi potong saat ini, sebagian besar diusahakan  dan dikembangkan oleh usaha peternakan rakyat dengan pola produksi induk-anak (cow-calf operation) dalam usaha skala kecil dan biasanya terintegrasi dengan usaha pertanian lainnya. Untuk meningkatkan ketersediaan jumlah bibit sapi bakalan secara nasional dan dalam  upaya peningkatan populasi sapi potong diperlukan upaya–upaya tertentu. Agar usaha pembibitan ternak sapi potong dapat berkembang dari skala kecil menjadi skala menengah salah satu upaya adalah peningkatan skala usaha yang dapat diimplementasikan melalui pola integrasi antara tanaman dengan ternak sapi potong. Peluang untuk pengembangan kearah tersebut sebenarnya terbuka lebar, hanya saja diperlukan upaya serius untuk menindaklanjuti usaha tersebut. Untuk mengarah dari usaha pembibitan tradisional skala kecil ke usaha pembibitan skala menengah memang tidak mudah, banyak hal yang harus diupayakan dan diperlukan penanganan yang lebih serius oleh pemerintah terutama dalam hal peningkatan aplikasi teknologi ke peternak terutama teknologi pengadaan pakan murah dan mudah yang bisa dijangkau oleh peternak. Selain itu kebijakan penyediaan plafon kredit untuk pengadaan ternak dengan bunga rendah yang mudah diakses dengan aturan yang lebih fleksibel sangat membantu peternak dalam meningkatkan skala usaha pembibitan ternak sapi potong. Untuk semua itu, peran penyuluh maupun dinas peternakan dalam membantu peternak untuk mengatasi permasalahan dilapangan sangat dibutuhkan.</p>
