The efficiency of porkers production of intensively and extensively feeded

Applied Studies In Agribusiness And Commerce, 2013

The aim of this study is a comparative analysis of the costs of production of intensively and extensively fed porkers in view of the qualitative parameters of meat obtained after slaughter. The production experiment, which involved the parallel fattening of 3 groups of 30 porkers (fed intensively up to a weight of about 120 kg and extensively up to weights of about 100 kg and 120 kg), was carried out between 2011 and 2012 in a deliberately selected farm. The researchers assumed average prices of the means of production and prices of livestock pigs in individual meatiness classes noted in Poland in 2012. The fattening started when the animals weighed about 40 kg. The feeds used for extensive fattening contained less total protein, energy and basic exogenous amino acids, but more raw fibre. The analysis proved that the extensive production of porkers up to 100 kg in 2012 was not profitable. The most profitable production was the intensive production up to 120 kg (a profit of €0.100 pe...

The Problem of Pig Meat Production Profitability in Households: Results and Analysis

Economica, 2017

The paper addresses the problem of low profitability of fresh pork production in Moldovan pig farmers. The author analyses, in a complex way, the structure of the production of pork from the producer to the processor, which identifies the main problem – the added value to the pig producers is well below that of the processors and its size does not allow the economic development. The Sensitivity Analysis in the paper presents some possible scenarios for obtaining a sufficient return. It proposes a matrix of profitability of pork production on the basis of the researches carried out. As a factual basis for the elaboration of this scientific article, the field results obtained within the project "Determining the influence of the factors influencing the change of the efficiency of the meat breeding efficiency in the conditions of liberalization of the internal market" within the State Program Development of competitiveness and economic growth In the context of an economy based...

Determination of the Economic Effects in Intesive Production of Piglets

Macedonian Veterinary Review, 2016

Critical 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 aver...

Method for determination of relative relations between economical values and reproductive traits in production of piglets

Biotehnologija u stocarstvu, 2004

Bringing into correlation values that by their nature have no joint measuring unit is complex, but these values have decisive effect on production and demand from the researcher to compare them in methodologically correct way and express them through certain value. Determining the expression of values using same measuring units opens many doors of all kinds of analyses and enables their evaluation and possibility for their combination in regard to investigation and inclusion of potential parameters as achievable values. In business activity, different factors of incoming parameters as variables are present, and expected outgoing result should be, more exactly, better in quality and quantity (in the sense of full use of existing capacities or performing of service). At the same time, complete procedure of methodological processing should, first of all, be simple and, secondly easy applicable as well as economical, more exactly profitable. Whole procedure is presented through orientat...

The influence of boar breed and applied method on the meat content

Biotehnologija u stocarstvu, 2020

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the applied method of the quality carcass in 201 descendants, both sexes (n=108 male castrated animals and n=93 females), of studied boar-sires. For the determination of the meat yield (JUS1) and the share of meat (JUS 2) in carcass sides, on the basis of the performed measurements, tables for meat pigs, which are an integral part of the Rulebook on the quality of slaughtered pigs and categorization of pork meat (OG SFRY, 1985), were used. Share of meat (EC 94 and EC 06) was determined on cooled left carcass sides by method of partial dissection (according to methodology recommended by EU-Walstra and Merkus, 1996). Research was carried out on pig farm and in experimental slaughterhouse of the Institute for Animal Husbandry, Belgrade-Zemun. Housing, care and nutrition of animals were in accordance to breeding technology in investigated herd. The average share of meat determined by the application of the Rulebook (JUS2) was 43.58% with a lower absolute variation compared to the EU regulation from 1994 (EC 94; 53.56%) and from 2006 (EC 06; 56.55%). The estimated lean meat content by the application of the Rulebook (JUS 2) was by 9.98% lower compared to the EC 94 regulation and by 12.97% lower compared to EC 06. If we are talking about the selection of offspring for breeding, if we consider only the estimated leanness, we see that within the Landrace (L) breed we have high and very significant (P<0.001) differences between the sires for the assessed meat content according to EC 94 and EC 06. By implementing new methods of assessment of lean meat content (EC 94 and EC 06), a higher share of meat (9.98% respectively 12.97%) was determined compared to the Rulebook (1985). This research indicates the necessity of changing the current method for the establishment of meat content of pigs in the Republic of Serbia.

Economic values of pork production related traits in Finland

The objective of the present study was to estimate economic values for sow efficiency and meat production traits in the Finnish pork production system including the consideration for subsidies. Economic values were estimated by developing a bio-economic model that describes the Finnish production system. Genetic improvement estimates for meat production traits were also developed in order to evaluate how much genetic gain is reduced due to selection for meat quality. Results showed that the highest economic values, when expressed in genetic standard deviations, were obtained for total number of piglets born (€2.07 per piglet), feed conversion ratio (€2.07 per feed unit per kg), and lean meat percentage (€1.69 per %). Economic values for litter size, piglet mortality, sows length of productive life, and lean meat percentage increased when subsidies were not accounted for in the bio-economic model. Results show further that meat quality should have 15-20 percent weight in the Finnish production trait index in order to prevent its deterioration. When the selection weights are 15-20% for meat quality, the expected loss in genetic gain is approximately 3 percent for other production traits when compared to selection indices where meat quality traits are not included.
