Feed Efficiency

The Best Nutrition

Excellent nutrition reduces overfeeding and underfeeding; improves immune system; improves herd health; improves rate of gain; improves feed efficiency; and improves profit over feed cost. There is a difference in swine rations.

Complete phase feeding
Programs to choose from to best fit your hog's genetic potential
Ability to incorporate a variety of commodity feedstuffs
Rations adjusted based on feed intake of your hogs
Desired nutrient levels to match your hogs, your feedstuffs, your facilities
Exclusive amino acid profiles of your grain and protein sources

Only Agri-King analyzes your feedstuffs regularly for amino acids...no guessing...no average values...real numbers for precisely balanced swine rations.

Feed Efficiency

Feed purchases are the largest single cost in producing pork. Profitable swine production largely depends on maximizing the value of your feeds. For that reason, feed efficiency (feed:gain) is a widely used calculation to evaluate the overall efficiency of a farm. It usually, but not always, reflects the lowest feed cost per pound gain and lowest margin over feed costs. A broad range of nutritional, veterinary, genetic, and environmental factors impact feed efficiency, however, complicating comparisons between groups.

Dietary and management practices that improve production efficiency are associated with increased profitability. It is important to note that improved nutrient utilization and efficiency will maximize nutrient retention in the pig and minimize nutrient excretion in the manure. This is not only profitable for the producer, but has a positive environmental impact.
