Animal ID & Traceability
IMPACTS: MODELING
MARKET EFFECTS OF ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION …
The purpose of this study was to conduct a benefit‐cost analysis of the
United States National Animal Identification System (NAIS). The NAIS is a
voluntary federal animal identification system operated by the Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA). NAIS is designed primarily to protect
the health of the nation’s livestock and poultry to enhance animal health
and maintain market access. The three components of NAIS are: 1)
premises registration, 2) animal identification, and 3) animal movement
tracking. Objectives of this study included estimating benefits and costs
of adopting NAIS by the livestock and poultry industries as well as
determining how net benefits are likely to be allocated among industry
sectors, consumers, and government. The benefit‐cost analysis focuses
on impacts of NAIS adoption in the bovine, porcine, ovine, poultry, and
equine industries.

With the exception of the wheat enterprises all fall crop yields were down due to drought. Non‐irrigated wheat yields
averaged between 45 and 50 bushels per acre while non‐irrigated corn and milo averaged 16 and 28 bushels per acre,
respectively. Non‐irrigated soybean yields averaged 6 bushels per acre. Irrigated corn yields were down from an average of 191
bushels per acre in 2011 to 179 bushels per acre in 2012. Irrigated soybeans averaged 55 bushels per acre. Irrigated wheat
yields in 2012 averaged 53 bushels per acre. Review the non‐irrigated enterprise summary that begins on page 17 and the
irrigated enterprise summary that begins on page 25.
Beef Cow‐calf operations that sell weaned calves and sell feeder calves experienced a decline in their Net Returns above
Variable cost in 2012 to $56.15 and $78.59 per cow compared with $119.38 and $176.02 in 2011 respectively. Gross income
changed little from 2011 to 2012 leaving Total Expense increases the source of Net Return declines. The largest item of expense
that increased was feed. Feed cost for Cow‐calf operators increased from $381.67 in 2011 to $431.95 in 2012, some 13.2%.
Higher feed cost per unit and drought driven increased consumption to offset pasture shortages were major contributors to the
feed cost increase.
Again we stress that the information at this time is only preliminary. We will release finalized information later this
summer. We hope you will find the information useful and insightful for evaluating the KFMA, NW members in general and your
farm in particular. If you want to know more about how your farm compares to similar farms, and you are currently not a
member of the Farm Management Association, NW, consider giving us a call. We are taking applications for membership in all of
the KFMA, NW area.
Sincerely,
