Determination of the Economic Effects in Intesive Production of Piglets

Abstract

Macedonian Veterinary ReviewCritical indicators of intensive production in hog raising are continuity of production, high level of produced series-tours, application of the most contemporary technological achievements without any turnover of capital, high merchandise turnover, and intensive usage of the reproduction potential of breeding material. Production of piglets represents one of the most essential phases in the production of pork meat. In spite of genetic factors, duration of interval wean-conception is one of the basic factors in determination of bringing forth indexes and number of piglets per litter. In order to recognize production costs of piglets completely we found nutrition costs for piglets and sows represent 61%, while other costs such as personal incomes, veterinary services, water, energy, losses, and amortization represent 39% of total costs. On the basis of cost price per feeding day of a sow and the number of piglets per litter, production costs of piglets older than 28 days with an average body weight of 7 kg were determined. Price cost per piglet after weaning, with 7 kg average body weight, and 146 days of reproduction process accounts for 21,78 EUR if there are 10 piglets in a litter. If the reproductive cycle would last exactly the same and if successful conception would be achieved 25 days after weaning, production cost per piglet would be 23,79 EUR.

The Potential Role of MYOM1 and ATGL Genes in Pig Production Improvement

“…However, there is one limitation of selection toward c.392G>A, because AA animals presented lowered daily gains. According to current trends in pig breeding, the fattening traits are the most decisive economical features in pig production (Mirilović et al, 2016). Although AA pigs had lower daily gains and the highest age of slaughter, detected differences between opposite homozygotes were low (54 g and 5.8 days, respectively).…”

Ácidos Orgânicos Na Nutrição De Porcas Gestantes E Seus Efeitos Na Progênie: Meta-Análise

“…A produção moderna industrial de suínos está fortemente atrelada aos desempenhos produtivo e reprodutivo das porcas. Esses, por sua vez, determinam o número de leitões desmamados e consequentemente o número de animais em terminação, culminando na quantidade de carne produzida (MIRILOVIĆ et al, 2016). Portanto, práticas de manejo -especialmente as nutricionais -que visem melhorar a performance das porcas durante a gestação e a maternidade, podem ser determinantes para o sucesso de um lote (CHEN et al, 2019).…”

Investments in Serbian Pig Production – Influence of Regional Disparities

“…Serbia, 2022), it is evident that economic effectiveness of pig production in Serbia requires additional research.Discussing importance and export potential of Serbian livestock production, Madžar (2014) concluded that there is a decrease in livestock number followed by an increasing import of livestock products. Research covering period from 2001 to 2014(Mirilović et al, 2015) determined that during the observed period there were five years with negative economic performance of pig production(years 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2010). Having in mind variability of market prices,Zekić et al (2007) stated that pig producers have an uncertain position, while the supply of processing industry is unstable Zekić et al (2008).…”
