Data instead of opinions
• Most farmers are focused on prices instead of margins
• Most farmers do not know their key figures
• Most farmers do not have clear targets for their production
• Most farmers act based on their feelings
• Most farmers do not make money

Feed costs
• Feed costs are the main costs in pig production so they should be optimized first.
• Sows:– Sow feeding based on measured condition– Feed use & costs / sow– Feed use & costs/ delivered piglet
• Fatteners:– Feed use & cost / fattener– Calculate feed margin/place/year

Better feeding
Feed solutions instead of just filling silo’s:
– Customized diets and feed schedules based on farm specific performance (data!)
– More focus on how the feeds are used:• Milling & mixing• Feed installations• Animal performance (stable)
– Condition– Behavior– Digestion
– Basic management advices

Healthcare
• Lot of veterinarians time is spend on obligatory inspections /recordings
• Poor monitoring of common diseases– ”we are so healthy”– Limited possiblities– Too slow
• Not enough focus on disease prevention
• Performance data not (much) used

Cause of B.M.D.: Farm Blindness
• Not enough in farm support• No data, No targets• No benchmark

Conclusions
• Pigs must be produced more efficient if we want to stay self sufficient
• We need more data and less emotions
• Producers need uniform advises
• More cooperation is needed on farm to get the producers to put the basics in order
