Nursery Productivity Goals
- Death loss under 3%
- Average Daily Gain .90 or greater
- Weaned pigs > 11 pounds
- Feed efficiency < 1.6
- Feed/cwt. gain .18¢
- * Every pound under 11 pounds will cost an additional $ 1.00 to $ 1.25 /pig
NURSERY NUMBERS
- Average Feed Cost: 1/10th difference in feed efficiency equates to .79¢/pig
- A 1% change in death loss equates to .49¢/pig
- A 1% change in culls sold equates to .38¢/pig
- A $ 10.00 change in feed cost/ton equates to .35¢/pig
- A 1% change in operating line interest rate equates to .17¢/pig
- A $ 1.00 change in pig space rent paid equates to .14¢/pig
- A 1% change in Long-Term interest rate equates to .08¢/pig
According to John Gadd of England, a 1/10th difference in Average Daily Gain Nursery equates to about $7 per pig due to the value of compensatory gain (getting the pigs off on a great start) (each pound bigger out of the nursery equates to 6.25 pounds more in the finisher, in the same days)
FEEDER TO FINISH
- Average feed cost: 1/10th difference in feed efficiency equates to $ 1.23 / head
- A 1% change in death loss equates to $ 1.10 / head.
- 1/10th difference in Average Daily Gain equates to .95¢/pig.
- (From 20 weeks or 1.64 Average Daily Gain to 19 weeks or 1.74 Average Daily Gain)
- A 1% change in percent of culls sold equates to .69¢/pig
- A $1.00 change in price per ton of feed equates to .31¢/pig
- A 1% change in operating line interest rate equates to .29¢/pig
- A $1.00 change in pig space rent paid equates to .38¢/pig
- A 1% change in long-term interest rates equates to .43¢/pig.
