Pork cycle. A schematic diagram of the pork cycle. In economics, the term pork cycle, hog cycle, or cattle cycle [1] describes the phenomenon of cyclical fluctuations of supply and prices in livestock markets. It was first observed in 1925 in pig markets in the US by Mordecai Ezekiel and in Europe in 1927 by the German scholar Arthur Hanau [ de].
The cobweb model has been interpreted as an explanation of fluctuations in various livestock markets, like those documented by Arthur Hanau in German hog markets; see Pork cycle. However, Rosen et al. (1994) proposed an alternative model which showed that because of the three-year life cycle of beef cattle, cattle populations would fluctuate ...
Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is the ratio of inputs to outputs; it is the inverse of "feed efficiency" which is the ratio of outputs to inputs. [ 2] FCR is widely used in hog and poultry production, while FE is used more commonly with cattle. [ 2] Being a ratio the FCR is dimensionless, that is, it is not affected by the units of measurement ...

Kitti's hog-nosed bat is small at about 29 to 33 mm (1.1 to 1.3 in) in length and 2 g (0.071 oz) in mass, [2] [3] hence the common name of "bumblebee bat". It is the smallest species of bat and may be the world's smallest mammal, depending on how size is defined.
This exceeded all our expectations with an estimated 100,000 fans and Harley owners group members attending, and over 20,000 motorcycles visiting from Europe and beyond.
