Wefeed Pig
Description
Techna offers its feed manufacturer customers Wefeed® pork, a decision support tool consisting of 3 modules
Wefeed Check to identify improvement levers in livestock farming
Wefeed Check allows you to create customisable questionnaires in order to implement actions to reduce production costs on several topics of interest. For example, good management of housing and environment is essential to obtain a high level of performance. Identifying the breeding factors that cause problems such as tail docking management is a way to avoid economic losses: losses due to carcass lesions are estimated at €1.5 per pig.
Wefeed Nutri to control the feeding strategy in fattening
Feeding strategies, such as the choice of feed and feed duration, must be adapted to maintain performance while reducing feed costs. For example, a 0.05 point reduction in feed conversion ratio can reduce feed costs by €2 per fattening pig. An adequate feeding strategy also allows to improve the quality of the carcass: +1 pt of additional muscle content allows an additional gain of +2.7 € per pig for a carcass in the heart of the range.
Wefeed Carcass to determine the optimal slaughter strategy
Wefeed Carcass helps to increase farmers' income by determining the optimal slaughter strategy. Wefeed Carcass helps to identify the optimal weight and to manage slaughter departures. Batch tails are often a cost factor as they involve the least efficient pigs. Feeding the tails for 3 days longer than the optimal weight can result in a loss of € 5 per pig.
Wefeed aims at progress in breeding, both in sows, piglets and growers.
