The prices for ryegrass, corn, and SBM are the average market prices in Korea in 2009. The prices of SCG and APR were obtained from the respective manufacturers (Dongseo Food, Inc., and Ganghwa Agricultural R&D Center, respectively). For the prices of FSCG and FAPR, the cost for the fermentation process, including the expenses for microbial strains, culture medium, labor, and use of fermenter instruments was calculated and added to their raw prices.
