Presentation Transcript

  1. Modern Swine Industry • Modern Swine Production is Extremely Complex • Feeding strategies involve • Feed ration formulation – nutrient levels • Choice of number of rations to feed • Choice of time periods for feeding rations • Timing and feed concentration of growth promotants (e.g., antibiotics or ractopamine)

  2. Modern Swine Industry (cont’d.) • Marketing strategies involve • Choice of when to “turn the barn” with All-In/All-Out system • Optimal target market weights and sort weights • Contracts • Nutrient management / Air Quality • Manure value positive or negative • Feed additives (e.g., phytase) affect nutrient absorption

  3. Modern Swine Industry (cont’d.) • Genetic Sources • Match health in your system • Production flow - All-In/All-Out system? • Optimal target market weights and sort weights for these genetics • Marketing Agreements • Packer grids • Managing Inputs • Feed Ingredients, etc. • ALL LINKED!

  4. Economics of Swine Nutrition • Cost per ton of feed • Cost per unit of lysine • Cost per unit of digestible lysine • Cost per unit of digestible energy • Total feed cost per pig marketed • Cost per lb of gain • Cost per lb carcass sold • For Every 0.01 improvement in F:G will decrease total feed costs by $0.28-0.30/pig Boyd, 2008

  5. Phase Feeding

  6. Nutrient Requirements over Time Pigs' Requirement Typical Phase Feeding

  7. Split Sex and Phase Feeding • Split Sex feeding will save $0.50-0.75/cwt • Phase Feeding – How much can it save? • Is more better?

  8. Projected theoretical savings per pig due to increasing the number of diet phases. aCorn=$2.24/bu, 44% SBM = $240/ton; Assumed equal pig performance and feed intake b D.D. Koehler, 1997 (updated to $3.90/bu corn and $315/ton SBM, $900/ton DiCal – BTR 1/2009)

  9. Corn Particle Size

  10. Angle of Repose Hammer, Hammer, Roller mills Every 100 Microns reduction improves feed Eff. By 1.2% (7.5-10 lbs of feed/pig)

  11. Feed Bridging

  12. Management Options

  13. Reduce Selling Weight • Hit the Bottom of the grid instead of the top • IPC – 170-214 lb carcass (230-285 lb Live) • Pigs will be leaner and increase lean premiums • Need to be careful not to have too many lights • Discounts 160-170 lb ($2/CWT) then $8 and $12/CWT • What does it cost to leave the Facility Open or less than capacity? • Saves A lot of FEED!

  14. Reduce Selling Weight

  15. Evaluation of optimal market weights for different pigs • The actual feed intake, BW , backfat and loin depth data were fitted to growth functions for the high lean gain pigs • The average lean gain pigs were modeled to have greater rate of fat accretion and ADFI than the high lean gain pigs. • The low lean gain pigs had the greatest fat accretion – and most rapid decrease in percent lean.

  16. Evaluation of optimal market weights for pigs • The growth, DFI , backfat and loin depth data was applied to three pork processor’s grids – Tyson’s, IPC and Farmland foods. • Corn and soybean meal prices were originally set to 10 yr. average values – corn $2.50 /bushel, 48 % Soybean meal $190/ton and then increased by 20 % to 2.4 times the average values. Pigs were split sex – phase fed.

  17. Predicted Feed Conversion for Three Genetic Populations of Barrows

  18. Predicted Feed Conversion for Three Genetic Populations of Barrows

  19. Relationship of backfat to live weight in three genetic populations of gilts

  20. Optimal Slaughter Weight with Increasing Feed Costs Corn and soybean meal prices were originally set to 10 yr. average values Corn $2.50 /bushel, 48% SBM $190/ton and then increased by 20 % to 2.4 times the average values.

  21. Tyson –Gilts

  22. Farmland-Gilts

  23. Farmland -Barrows

  24. Impact of Pen unloading Boyd, 2008

  25. Impact of Pen unloading Campbell, 2006

  26. Antibiotic and Herd Health Programs • Using the right level and antibiotic • Is it working for you • Can you use something else or none • Feed Savings relative to Increased Cost? • Updating Herd Health • Reduce costs long term

  27. Sow Productivity

  28. Feeding Cull Sows

  29. Feeding Cull Sows

  30. Feeding Cull Sows Feed costs = $0.09/lb and Fixed costs = $0.25/day Sow prices = $0.33, $0.36, $0.38, and $0.40, for respective MWC

  31. Cull Sows and Paylean (21 d) • Increased ADG (3.15 vs 2.65) • Increased G:F (0.29 vs 0.25) • No Diff in ADFI • Decreased Fat Accretion (0.31 vs 0.41 in.) • 10.5 lb more sow weight • Is it cost Effective? Knauer et al., 2008

  32. Economics of Swine Nutritionand Production • Cost per ton of feed • Cost per unit of lysine • Cost per unit of digestible lysine • Total feed cost per pig marketed • Cost per lb of gain • ROI per pig space per day • Lots of variables that can affect profitability!
