Data Description
Production data obtained from a large U.S. data record keeping organizationAgreement with the National Pork Board to share limited
information.Uses: 1. Quantify the annual production levels and variation
associated for several key productivity indicators
2. Establish industry benchmarks for all swine production phases Breeding herd Nursery Wean – to – finish Conventional finishing

Overall data summary
Finishing mortality has declined over time while market weight has continued to increase Improving mortality by 2% for a 1000 hd. finishing facility
would be equivalent to adding $3,240 each barn turn assuming 270 lb. market hog and $60/cwt.
Days in the finisher have remained relatively constant over timeAverage daily gain has increased slightly over time
Feed conversion has improved slightly across both finishing facility types

Nursery performance has change little across the reporting time period
Pigs/mated sow/ year has increased by almost 2 pigs from 2007 to 2012.
Litters/mated sow/year has changed little during the time periodMost of the improvement in PSY is a result of improved
litter sizeSome of the PSY increase is greater stillborns and
mummiesNumber weaned has increased by 0.8 pigs

Seasonality graph
Graphs clearly show the months when decreased performance occurs for each KPI
Decreased performance represents substantial productivity and economic losses for the US swine industry
Identifying causes and methods to mitigate seasonality effects on the KPIs would have a large economic impact on the entire swine industry.

Summary The US swine industry has been successful at
improving production efficiency Some traits (mortality) still represent future opportunities
Increasing the pounds of pork produced in a given period of time and reduced finishing mortality has improved finishing throughput.
Combining improved litter size and pounds of pork produced, the throughput of the US swine industry has increased as a whole.

Summary Key productivity indicator trait improvements may be
the result of – Better genetics Improved health Superior management Other
The results from this analysis can be used to determine when management practices need to be improved and/or maintained to ensure optimal performance level for each swine production phase.
