The following targets will drive the key developments within the commercial herd of JSR over the next three years.
| 25 Pigs Sold per Sow | 325 kg Saleable Meat per Tonne of Rearing Feed |
|---|---|
| Average of 11.4 pigs weaned per sow | To improve our feed efficiency by at least 8% |
| To maintain pre-weaning mortalities at 10.5% or less despite increasing born alive | Optimise weaning weights without compromising reproductive efficiency (26-day weaning) |
| Post-weaning mortality from herds in Yorkshire of 7% or less with the minimum use of vaccines and antibiotics | Selection of sire line to optimise efficient output from the individual environments |
| Improved health to minimise challenge to the breeding herd | Improve nutrient density by 6% to optimise genetic potential |
| Use of the genotype to deliver the highest number of weaned pigs | Improved health to aid efficient growth, reduce mortalities and utilise the most efficient sire line |
| Average weaning age of 26 days for optimum reproductive performance | Investment in facilities to deliver target feed efficiency and growth |
The directors of JSR are very happy to discuss these developments in detail. If you wish to find out more or arrange a meeting, please contact Beverley Gibson on 01377 227799 or [email protected].
