Semi-precision feeding of finishing pigs (2/2): Split-sex feeding
How do nutritional requirements differ between male and female pigs, and how does this affect the cost of production?

"Semi-precision" feeding in finishing pigs (1/2): Differentiating by starting weight
If the cost of precision feeding seems unaffordable, this system based on providing distinct feeding to specific groups of animals may interest you! Do you want to know the criteria used to make the groups?

Do we know how to feed an heterogeneous population of pigs?
The answer is no. We only know how to feed the average pig of a certain genetic composition, and sex.

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the factory and on the farm
The compound feed industry is one of the stakeholders having a role in minimizing the environmental impact while meeting the demand for high quality and cost effective products.

Alimentation of replacement sows
The entrance of gilts to the production system and the strategies followed up to the first lactation is of vital importance for the economic cost-effectiveness of sows since these strategies have a direct effect on the subsequent productivity and longevity

04-Jul-2014n.bojarovskaI read a lot of Piglog 105, and I was interested when it's best to do the measurement (weight) that would be ideal value of first and second dorsal measurement bacon, MLD and% meat.
If a 100 kg gilts, in which values should be discarded (as bacon mm, MLD,% meat) which values are bad?
I apologize for my English,
