Abstract

A linear programming model has been developed which allows investigation of alternative dairy production systems. Simulation models used in conjunction with the linear programming model were then used to help set performance standards for on farm animal productivity. Information from these model sources is seen as an aid to decision making on farms and as an opportunity for managers to better understand the basic relationships that apply within their farming system.
