    • In 2009, the average sow produced 4,004 lb pork/yr
    • In 2009, the U.S. produced 23.02 billion lb of pork, from
      about 5.8 million sows.
    • Using 1975 productivity, it would require 14.5 million
      sows, an increase of 8.7 million, to produce 2009
      quantities of pork
    • At an average sow feed cost of $336/sow/yr, the added
      cost of these sows – just for feed – would be $2.95
      billion per year, adding $26 to the cost of each pig sold.

CONCLUSIONS

    1. The trend to heavier market weights is encouraged
       by reducing unit costs, is possible due to genetics,
       nutrition and management but will influence many
       aspects of production (see next presentation)
    2. While live and dressed weights have increased more
       or less linearly since 1978, dressing percent has
       flattened over the past 5 years
    3. As weight increases, % protein changes in a small
       way, but fat and water change substantially – and in
       different directions. Actual changes depend on
       genotype.

CONCLUSIONS

    4. As weight increases, rate of gain declines after
       reaching a peak between 180 and 240 lb, energy
       intake increases but at a declining rate and feed
       conversion rises (get worse) in an essentially linear
       fashion.
    5. Current market conditions of high feed costs and
       low market prices will put pressure on market
       weights, but this will change over time

  • 29. CONCLUSIONS 1. The trend to heavier market weights is encouraged by reducing unit costs, is possible due to genetics, nutrition and management but will influence many aspects of production (see next presentation) 2. While live and dressed weights have increased more or less linearly since 1978, dressing percent has flattened over the past 5 years 3. As weight increases, % protein changes in a small way, but fat and water change substantially – and in different directions. Actual changes depend on genotype.

  • 30. CONCLUSIONS 4. As weight increases, rate of gain declines after reaching a peak between 180 and 240 lb, energy intake increases but at a declining rate and feed conversion rises (get worse) in an essentially linear fashion. 5. Current market conditions of high feed costs and low market prices will put pressure on market weights, but this will change over time IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY APPLIED SWINE NUTRITION

  1. For most of you, this will be the first time you have heard me speak. So, I’ll take a minute to explain my approach, which is to begin my talk with a discussion on background information and basic principles. This is because we know that there are tremendous differences among farmsThe same pig will perform differently in different barns, in different seasons, under different health conditionsWe are also dealing with different pigs as well, among genotypes and within genotypesTherefore, and I can be accused of being too cautious, I am reluctant to make recommendations on nutrition that will apply under all conditions, because I know they will not.However, as I progress, I will move from principles to applications, hoping that you can then interpret my suggestions in the context of your own operationIn the interest of time, I am going to skip over some slides; you have them in your binder and therefore can get more details if you want themI would like to preserve my available time to focusing on the most important points
