If your pig farm is producing less than it should, or costing more than it should, the cause is usually in the barn, not in the spreadsheet. AgriSwine Asia helps pig producers in Vietnam find the real cause and fix it with their own team.
Problems we help pig producers fix
- Low PSY: too few pigs weaned per sow per year.
- Poor feed conversion (FCR) and too many days on feed.
- High pre-weaning, nursery or finisher mortality.
- Low conception and farrowing rates, especially in gilts.
- Feed, vaccine and medication costs that are too high.
How the work runs
- Data review. Your production records and costs, compared with benchmarks.
- On-site assessment. Lee walks the barns with your team to see how the work is really done.
- Root causes and a plan. A clear, written list of priorities, with the expected effect of each.
- Implementation. On-site visits and remote support while your team makes the changes, with training and SOPs so the gains last.
Results from the farm floor
- PSY raised by 6.5 pigs to 27.9 within 12 months on a UK unit, through the Rescue Deck and staff retraining.
- PSY raised from 18.8 to 23.4 on a 1,200-sow farm in the USA.
- Gilt conception from 55% to 100% after one change in the service barn.
- 25% cut in vaccine and medication costs across a 6,000-sow business in Ireland.
- Over 2 tonnes sold per sow, against a UK average of 1,650 kg.
