Feeding levels must be

increased by 0.68 to 1.0

kg per day from d 90 of

28 C Target

Optimum temperature for the sow is 15-24°C and for newborn

piglets 29-35°C. Lactating sows will reduce their feed intake by 100

g/day for every 1°C change from 15-24°C and by ½ kg/day for every 1°C

change over 24°C

Production System

• Weekly batch system was implemented

– Weaning on Sunday and matings on Thursday to Saturday

– Other farms wean on Thursday and mate on Monday to Wednesday

• Target mating = 134 per week, broken down as follows:

– 96 dry sows per week

– 24 gilts per week

– 14 repeat matings per week

• Target farrowings = 120 per week

Targeted Breeding Group Structure

Multiplication Herd = 20% x 2.5 LPSY = Replacement Rate 50%

Commercial Herd = 17% x 2.5 LPSY = Replacement Rate 43%
