Stochastic simulation modeling of the economics of providing additional living space for housed dairy cows by Jake S. Thompson, Chris D. Hudson, Jon N. Huxley, Jasmeet Kaler, Martin J. Green

“…When building a new shed with a high living space versus control at a 4.00% interest rate, a median net return on infrastructure investment of +£23.00 per cow per year was identified (range –£25.91 to +£64.16 for 10th to 90th percentile). Since decreased living space is likely to lead to poorer welfare, it can be considered a negative production externality associated with current production systems, the cost of which should also be accounted for when analyzing the economics of housing. …”
