Swine Industry: Structural Overview
Concentrated in the MidwestArea of major corn and soybean
productionMajor feed ingredients- complementary
of each other

Concentration in Midwest
Why not expand?Environmental Issues/ConcernsWhy Midwest?
Large open land massSparse populationReceptive to agriculturePrecedent: Feedlots

Vertical Integration
What is vertical integration?Integrating several stages of production
into single management of one organization
SeedstockFarrow to FinishPacker/Processor

Sectors of the Swine Industry
Seedstock ProductionSell breeding stock (boars and gilts)Supply the genetic base for changeTraditional Producers: produce
purebred stock for use in crossbreeding programs
Hybrid: carefully orchestrated crossbred

Feeder Pig Production
Maintain breeding herdProduct sold: feeder pigs
40 to 60 lbs.2 months of age

Farrowing
Process of sow/gilt giving birthFarrowing stalls:
Protect baby pigProvide dual heat
Drip coolers for sow Heat pads/lamps for pigs

Feeder Pig Production
Production FactorsReproductive PerformanceAverage of 2.5 litters/yrWeaned litter size of 10-12 pigs21 day litter weight- reflects milk
production

Feeder Pig Production
Reproductive Traits are lowly heritableMust properly manage the environmentMinimize diseaseProvide disease adequate nutrition

Grower-Finisher Operations
Purchase Feeder PigsProduct sold: market hogs
Sold at 250 lbs5-6 months of age
Average daily Gain (ADG) 2 lbsFeed Conversion: 3 lbs of feed to 1 lb of
gain
