High input-output ratio is the eternal pursuit of any business! With the current large scale of breeding, good environmental conditions, and upgraded management, output has become a more important goal. For breeding companies, only the production performance determines the output.

When the pig price is high, the good production performance (more weight of pigs, high slaughter rate and high meat quality) can make more profit.

When the pig price is low, good production performance (more weight of pigs, high slaughter rate and high meat quality) can still make profit or help to reduce the loss.

Let's take a look at the relationship of breeding performance and breeding benefit!

One more pig can earn an extra of 4000 yuan!
One more kilogram in body weight can earn an extra of 30 yuan/head!
1% more slaughter rate (carcass meat) can earn an extra of 30 yuan /head!
FCR reduced by 0.1 can reduce the breeding cost by 0.15 yuan/kg!

After the ASF epidemic, various of breeding companies have upgraded hardware, epidemic prevention and management. The physique of pigs is getting better and better, and the effect of nutrition on growth speed, feed conversion efficiency, and nutrient deposition efficiency has been greatly improved. Among them, protein is the key nutrient in feed design.

Why is protein nutrition so important to the production performance of fattening pigs?
How to design the protein nutrition of fattening pig feed?
What kind of economic benefits will be brought if the fattening pig protein nutrition designed well?

Let's answer the questions one by one.

1. A well designed protein nutrition can help to improve breeding performance
