Pig farming costs are heavily influenced by feed prices, despite production improvements. Company size impacts production efficiency and feed costs, with smaller farms facing higher prices.

Area of Science:

  • Animal Science
  • Agricultural Economics

Background:

  • Assessing pig production costs and parameter influence is crucial for swine farming.
  • This study analyzes production parameters and costs in Spanish pig farming from 2010-2014.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Establish reference values for pig production parameters and costs (2010-2014).
  • Analyze the temporal evolution of these values.
  • Determine the impact of pig company size on production parameters and costs.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected from 61-107 Spanish pig production companies (2010-2014).
  • Monthly data on feed consumption, pigs produced, expenses, and census standardized.
  • Yearly averages calculated, considering production flow; statistical analysis performed.

Main Results:

  • Production performance improved (piglets/sow/year increased, feed conversion decreased).
  • Feed prices rose (2010-2012) then fell, mirroring total production costs.
  • Company size affected parameters; smaller companies (<5000 sows) had better technicals but higher feed prices.

Conclusions:

  • Production parameters improved over five years.
  • Improved performance did not reduce costs due to high feed prices (2010-2013).
  • Feed price remains a significant factor in overall production cost.
