Spanish Performance Supports Weaning Capacity
This article represents an interesting review of targeting an increase in weaners produced per sow per year as an indication of efficiency. It encourages producers to consider optimum productivity as a better indicator of the efficiency of production. Rather than a maximum number of weaned piglets, they should target the maximum number of good quality weaners at an optimum cost, says Jordi Mora, Production Director of Hypor in Spain.
