The Effects of Animal Wastes Treatment Cost on the Livestock Products Supply and Demand

The livestock industry is faced with the limit of growth due to the animal diseases and environmental pollution despite the quantitative growth during the last several decades. Environmental pollution, especially by the odor of livestock manure, offers justification for regulation of the livestock industry. The result of analysis shows that producers’ surplus increases by the price rise of livestock products in spite of the decrease of livestock production. Consequently, livestock farms should have the positive attitude to solve the conflict in regional societies by paying willingly the cost of environmental pollution. These voluntary efforts to pay the cost of environmental pollution will make the livestock industry sustainable.
