Current research investigates behavior of food costs, one of the most relevant components in livestock management. Its variability and functional forms are studied during pregnancy and finishing periods by analyzing the proportion of the variable and fixed component and behavior within different activity levels. A theoretical model is employed to understand the behavior of production, the physical and financial components of food costs. Consequently, an empirical analysis is elaborated by simulating cases featuring pregnancy and finishing periods. Current analysis demonstrates, through quantitative bases and graphs, that food costs for calves are fixed, whilst in the finishing phase they are integrally variable.Downloads
