Stockmanship, attention
to detail and making full use of data were the big topics throughout the BPEX
Breed+3 regional events, which concluded yesterday in Diss.
A range of producers presented
what they do on their units to keep improving breeding herd performance; recording
and the importance of a good team came up time and again.
And the two are
closely linked, as performance data, targets and progress updates all need to
be shared with all pig unit staff, as they are the ones who can ensure the
targets are achieved.
Industry experts
Sylviane Boulot, David Chennells and John Richardson also gave clarity on what
we should be focusing on to wean more piglets per sow and showed just how important
it is to measure and analyse your costings and performance figures.
As one producer put
it, “If you don’t measure it, how do you know where you are, where you want to go
and how do you know when you’ve got there? Poor information will only lead to
poor management decisions.”
It’s well worth having a look at all their presentations,
