摘要

摘要产犊日期影响饲料成本、犊牛断奶重、上市日期、劳动力可用性，以及潜在的犊牛健康。利用最近对小牛断奶体重的估计和对生产者、饲养场经营者和兽医的调查，我们将预期利润建模为产犊日期的函数。由于断奶日期较早和断奶体重较重，1月份产犊的奶牛的年化净回报率最高。然而，调查结果显示，3月和4月是最常见的产犊月份。这可能是由于天气和劳动力需求的考虑。如果断奶日龄限制在205天，由于饲料成本较高，1月份产犊利润最低。

Economic Comparison of Spring-Calving Dates and Cold Injury in the US Southern Plains

Abstract Calving date affects feed costs, calf weaning weights, marketing dates, labor availability, and, potentially, calf health. Employing recent estimates of calf weaning weights and surveys of producers, feedlot operators, and veterinarians, we model expected profits as a function of calving date. January-calving herds had the highest annualized net returns, a result driven by older weaning dates and heavier weaning weights. However, survey results show March and April were the most common calving months. This may be due to both weather and labor demand concerns. If weaning ages are restricted to 205 days, January calving was the least profitable because of higher feed costs.
