In fact, subsequent number bom alive was higher for untreated sow (10.55) compared with P.G. 600-lreated sows (10.10) across the first three pari ties. If we assume one pig bom alive is worth $15.00 the .45 pig/ litter reduction observed in treated sows would cost $6.75/litter (,45x515 = $6/75). So we’ve spent $3.50 per sow and given up $6.75 in pigs bom alive. There may be circumstances on certain farms where limited use of P.G. 600 use is warranted. How ever, even if P.G. 600 were approved for use in sows, the eco nomics associated with routine use of the product are question able. EMC Virus Causing Losses In U.S. Hogs Encephalomyclocardilis (EMC) virus is causing losses in U.S. hogs. The virus has been recog nized in several countries during the past 30 years, but only in the past few years has it been a wide spread cause of disease. The major signs of EMC infec tion are reproductive failure, still births, mummification, and weak newborns. Sometimes affected sows will have fevers, have depressed appetites, and show signs of respiratory disease, but these symptoms don’t occur in all EMC-affcctcd herds. EMC infection is diagnosed by isolation of the virus or by scro- Facts About Today’s Families • In an independently conducted national survey sponsored by Fleischmann’s Yeast, 88 percent of adults said they feel that a signific ant problem exists with developing values in today’s youth. In addition, 64 per cent said that parents need more knowledge and support to develop values in young people today. • 60 percent of Americans agreed that family values are losing ground, according to a survey by Massa chusetts Mutual Life. • The Los Angeles Times/Orange County Edition found that 82 percent of women and 71 percent of men said they’d sacrifice career goals (e.g. turn down a new job or promotion) that would take time away from the family. • In the same poll, 64 percent of men and women from 18 to 29 years of age want to spend more time with their own children than their parents spent with them. • Time Magazine and CNN found that 81 per cent of adults said it was more important these days to spend time with their families as a priority. • Another survey by the Los Angeles Times and DDB Needham revealed that 86 percent of respondents thiqk that eating dinner with their families is very important. logic tests on stillborn or weak pigs. Blood testing of sows has not proven useful. The vims affects brain and heart muscle, as well as other body tissues. Several other diseases cause reproductive, fai lure and death losses in baby pigs; these other conditions must be ruled out in addition to finding evidence of EMC virus in order to make a diagnosis of encephalomyelocarditis. In several midwestem states, a disease has appeared that is being called mystery pig disease. Affected farms have suffered heavy economic losses from both reproductive and respiratory infections. Some researchers have implicated EMC vims as the cause or one of the causes of mystery pig disease. This has not been proven. A vaccine is available against EMC. Little is known at this time about the effectiveness and useful ness of this vaccine. If you suspect EMC in your herd, contact your veterinarian for assistance in mak ing a diagnosis. Marketing In The 1990 s Competition from other meats, an unstable economy and many other variables of consumer demand create a challenging marketing environment for beef.

That’s just what a new checkoff-funded study will do. The research, carried out by Booz- Allen, Hamilton, Inc., will lay the marketing foundation for effective and efficient use of checkoff dol lars in the coming decade. By assessing where checkoff prog rams have been and should be going, the study will help reach future marketing goals of the beef industry. Economic Impact Of The Beef Checkoff Program The Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985 authorized the U.S. beef industry to develop and implement national programs for enhancing consumer demand for beef. The programs are under written through an assessment of Si per head of livestock each time a bovine live animal, regardless of age, is sold. Half of the checkoff funds remain at the state level to support local programs and the remaining dollars are sent to the Beef Board for national programs. Beef checkoff assessments started with the last quarter of 1986. For the quarters from 86:4 through 90:1 a total of $283.88 million was collected and $127.16 million was spent on national checkoff programs. Have promotion and informa tion programs had a measurable impact on consumer demand for beef?

Hettinger (717) 655-3536 AU-001532-L vide a direct measure of the eco nomic impact of the national beef checkoff programs. The prog rams’ impact at the live weight, boxed beef and retail market levels is shown and the rate of return to beef producers is calcu lated. Quarterly checkoff expendi tures for promotion, consumer information and industry informa tion are included in the demand estimates using data for the quar ters 79:2 through 90:1. Live weight revenues are estimated using actual checkoff expendi tures for the quarters 87:1 through 90:1. These estimated revenues are then compared to revenues with checkoff dollars set to zero and with checkoff dollars set to $1.5 million per quarter. The $1.5 million per quarter level is used to allow for the continuation of beef program expenditures at values near that which were in effect immediately prior to enactment of the national beef checkoff. The models are used to estimate eco nomic effects from different expenditure levels as well as changes in other variables influencing the demand for beef. The analyses show the national beef checkoff expenditures for promotion, consumer information and industry information have a positive and significant impact on the demand for beef. There is a strong one quarter lagged effect from the programs. That is, prog rams from the previous quarter have a significant effect on the current demand for beef. The checkoff effect is significant at the 9:00 A.M. Nell A. Courtney (717) 5394701 AU-002651-L live weight, boxed beef, and retail market levels. The results indicate that benefits from the programs are being reflected back to the pro ducer level. As shown in Table 1, live weight prices are estimated to be 2.73 cents per pound greater as a direct result of the programs for the quarters 87:1-90:1. This gain represents a 4.5 percent increase in live weight prices. When com paring the price gains against the assumption that some programs would have existed without the national checkoff, the live weight price is shown to increase by 1.129 cents per pound or by 1.82 percent. Price changes at the box ed beef and retail levels are calcu lated in a similar manner. Boxed beef and retail price gains are expressed in a live weight equiva lent value in the lower portion of Table 1. Comparing these live weight equivalent values show the checkoff price changes to be close in value at each market level. The rate of return is based on actual expenditures and is the average for the period 87:1-90:1. This average does not reflect the rate of return to the incremental dollars spent. The empirical analysis shows a substantial decline in the marginal return to the programs as expenditures increase. The actual rate of return will vary depending on the quarter evaluated and the levels of other economic variables.
