Economic values for traits of pigs in Hungary

Abstract: AbstrAct:Marginal economic values for production and reproduction traits of pigs were estimated applying a bio-economic model to Hungarian commercial sow herds with integrated fattening of piglets. Data collected between 2002 and 2008 were used for the calculation. Marginal economic values (in € per unit of the trait per sow per year) estimated for fattening days in the station test, age at the end of the field test, lean meat percentage in the carcass, percentage of valuable cuts in the carcass and the number… Show more

“…The EVs of growth rate in a specific time period can easily be converted to EVs for alternative traits to characterise growth ability, for example, animal weight at a certain age or animal age at a fixed weight (Coopman et al, 1999;Bett et al, 2007;Byrne et al, 2010;Houška et al, 2010).…”

“…The proportion of live born and stillborn piglets often impact on the economic outcome of the farm (Houska et al 2010). Numerous predisposing factors are incriminated in this situation; some are directly related to sows while others are attributed to the piglets themselves (van Dijk et al 2005(van Dijk et al , 2006Alonso-Spilsbury et al 2007).…”

“…Therefore it is important to have the resources that allow quick and efficient evaluations of the physiological state of newborn piglets. The number of piglets born alive is an indicator of the economic benefits of a farm (Houška et al, 2010).…”
