Abstract
The objective of this paper is to describe a production tool for swine producers, veterinarians, and nutritionists to benchmark feed usage and feed cost within gestation, lactation, and gilt development phases of a production system. The model was developed using Microsoft Excel (version 16.0.11328.20438) and includes key variables within the breeding herd affecting feed usage. Data from a commercial production system was used to determine model accuracy as well as demonstrate its use. The results from this production tool provide estimates for feed usage and feed cost within each subpopulation of animals in the breeding herd.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Swine Health & Production (JSHAP) is an open-access and peer-reviewed journal published by the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) since 1993. The aim of the journal is the timely publication of peer-reviewed papers with a scope that encompasses the many domains of applied swine health and production, including the diagnosis, treatment, management, prevention and eradication of swine diseases, welfare & behavior, nutrition, public health, epidemiology, food safety, biosecurity, pharmaceuticals, antimicrobial use and resistance, reproduction, growth, systems flow, economics, and facility design. The journal provides a platform for researchers, veterinary practitioners, academics, and students to share their work with an international audience. The journal publishes information that contains an applied and practical focus and presents scientific information that is accessible to the busy veterinary practitioner as well as to the research and academic community. Hence, manuscripts with an applied focus are considered for publication, and the journal publishes original research, brief communications, case reports/series, literature reviews, commentaries, diagnostic notes, production tools, and practice tips. All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Swine Health & Production are peer-reviewed.
