Animal ID & Traceability
FIGURE 1. CHANGE IN BEEF EXPORT DEMAND NEEDED SO THAT WHOLESALE BEEF,
SLAUGHTER CATTLE, AND FEEDER CATTLE SECTORS DO NOT LOSE ANY CUMULATIVE
PRESENT VALUE 10‐YEAR SURPLUS OF FULL TRACING BY ADOPTION RATES
Research indicates that domestic beef demand is likely to be greater for
products having animal ID and traceability. Small increases in domestic
beef demand, with all else constant, would also completely pay for full
animal ID and tracing in the beef industry. Figure 2 shows the increase in
domestic beef demand needed to just pay for cattle and beef producer
investment in full animal ID and tracing with 30, 50, 70 and 90% adoption
rates. A one‐time 0.67% increase in domestic beef demand would be
enough to fully pay for 70% adoption of cattle ID and tracing, with no
other benefits, over a ten‐year period. This is a modest increase in beef
demand needed to pay for animal ID and tracing relative to the results
found in previous studies of more than 5% higher demand for fully
traceable meat products. With 70% NAIS adoption of full animal tracing
and a 0.67% increase in domestic beef demand, all producer and
consumer sectors of beef, pork, and poultry gain economic surplus and
lamb producers and consumers lose a small amount of economic surplus.
The overall societal gain under this scenario (producer plus consumer
surplus) is a 10‐year cumulative net present value of $7.2 billion. In other
words, NAIS adoption would result in large positive net returns to
