Breeding herd calculator

Practical Advice » Producer Kt » Kt Team » Breedherdcalc »

The Breeding Herd Calculator has been developed by BPEX to complement the Feeding Herd Calculator. This calculator allows producers to estimate the effects of changes in sow productivity, feed and other costs on the net margin per weaner pig sold on for growing and finishing.

At times of high feed costs the calculator is a valuable tool, which can be used to estimate savings in financial losses through improved sow productivity and reduced costs.As with the Feeding Herd Calculator it is important that the Breeding Herd Calculator is not used in isolation to make business decisions as it only provides an indication of potential outcomes.

Producers should consult their individual circumstances with their commercial feed representatives and advisers taking into account market and other conditions. The BPEX KT Team would be pleased to provide any assistance.
