Increase profits by decreasing variation

Video-Increase profits by decreasing variation

Variation impacts your potential profit. Take preventive measures early to ensure healthy pigs and narrow variation at market.

When it comes to raising pigs, 65% of costs are already associated with nutrition. Wide weight variation in a herd increases those feed costs, makes marketing difficult and uses extra labor. Feeding to the average is unavoidable, however, when pigs start out healthy, the potential for variation decreases. You can spend less time and money by meeting the specific nutrional needs throughout their lives. Increase profit by decreasing costs and taking preventive measures to eliminate potential health challenges early on.
