Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.
