is a data/information management system. This program utilizes
the power of the internet to link together information that flows between
production sites, feed mills, meat packers, accounting packages, diagnostic labs
and many more areas where data collection is important. With i-Production you can
monitor group performance in "Real Time". In addition, this program allows you to
roll up and consolidate data across multiple production systems for fast, easy
analysis. |

| is a comprehensive program that ties together
nutrition, feed management and profitability. The ultimate goals are to provide
the producer with information on the growth rate of his/her pigs and feed
conversion. With this information, the producer is able to make sound management
decisions. Swine Pro incorporates both Growth Check and Growth Curve Analysis
information. |
| examines pig growth between stages allowing for
better diet and nutrient balancing. It consists of data collection of feed intake
and individual pig weights. This information is used to calculate feed conversion
and average daily gains of the pigs in different weight brackets. |
is a convenient way to accurately and
scientifically determine your pigs' nutritional needs throughout the grow/finish
period. Vita Plus will set-up and implement a growth curve protocol that will use
a combination of feed intake and real-time ultra sound data to determine the lean
growth characteristics of your pigs on your farm under your management. When that
data is collected, we can devise a feeding program to match the lean gain curve
of your pigs.
Why is Growth Curve Analysis important? The potential economic benefits are huge!
If you are currently over-feeding protein by just 10%, you are spending $1.00 per
pig too much in feed costs. To be competitive long-term, you can not afford to do
this. The only way to know where you are, is to scientifically measure the lean
growth characteristics of your pigs. |
