Our new 2TS
Recording Project is well underway. It’s to help pig producers understand
recorded data to improve their herd performance and profits.
We are working
with pig recording analyst Sanne Baden and six different pig producers on the
project, as part of the Breed +3 initiative. Sanne is making four visits to each farm over
the course of this year.
Plans
producers made after their initial discussions included:
1) measuring the impact of different genetics through
the system 2) reducing the number of non-productive days by scanning twice and
using boars to check for heat and 3) recording causes of death in the farrowing
house to help pinpoint associations with higher than normal pre-weaning
mortality rates.
Herd
performance recording and spending time understanding trends and patterns in
the data helps pinpoint which changes could make the biggest difference to pig
performance and cutting costs.
Please
contact me or any member of the KT team if you’d like any guidance on recording
and understanding your data.
Have
a look back at my previous
post on 18 February too
