Abstract: We document the deseasonalization of animal production in the US and Europe. Hypotheses on causes and consequences of this trend are advanced. They pertain to feed costs, changes in animal productivity and cost fixity of the underlying technology, innovations in genetic control and epidemiology, and the capital intensity of production.
