Animal Agriculture Can Boost State Economies Animal agriculture plays a major role in the economy of several states and is important for nearly all states. The impacts are many: States benefit from the direct investment and jobs, both at the farm level and at the slaughter, processing, and manufacturing levels They also benefit from multiplier effects on other sectors Animal agriculture is also the leading source of demand for soybean meal. Growth in output is usually concentrated in a small number of states for each species. 19
Multipliers Estimate Broader Economic Impact Regional Industrial Multiplier System from the Department of Commerce Output and earnings multipliers = $ of total output and household earnings created by $1 of production in an industry Employment multiplier = # of jobs per $1 million Four animal agriculture industries are Beef cattle Dairy cattle Poultry and egg Hogs and pigs/ other 20
