Report Svineforum 2016 By Henrik Kildegaard Board member

Will Lars Lykke (V) and his government be able to rescue Danish agriculture

The pork market of tomorrow • The pork listings potential: • What effect could regulatory framework have on the listing? • What effect could selective breeding/brand have on the listing?

The pork market of tomorrow • The pork listings potential: • What effect could regulatory framework have on the listing? • My estimate: 50 øre • What effect could selective breeding/brand have on the listing? • My estimate: 50 kr.

• So many things supports a new direction.

History • • • • •

Post war Danish bacon / Karolinepigerne(dairy ambassadors) EF 1972 (Trade) 1978-1980: Agricultural crisis 1985: Many years of continuous increases in food prices end. • 1980’s: quotas and agricultural subsidies was introduced • 1993: Agricultural crisis • 2000: Land now costs 100.000 kr./hectare

History • 2007: Land now costs 250.000 kr./hectare • 2008: New crisis, land prices begins to decline • 2012: We have through the last 3 years seen a price increase on food • 2016: Price increases is again back to the level that we know from the last decades • Finance has become almost impossible • Biggest image problem in agriculture ever • It is the survival of the fittest (who survives by producing most)

What do we do now? • Should we sit back and hope our neighbor goes bankrupt so the listing will increase? • Or should we work to make the Danish pork production develop in a new direction, where price and image is the guiding factor?

• Your opinion….?

Environmental supervision Environmental assessment List of Environmental Techniques ”Anmeldeordninger” Full stables New regulation The environment department

Environmental supervision For instance, environmental approvals to produce 10.000 finishers from 30-102 kg. In 2006 it was 286 animal units, but today it is only 238 animal units. Often you forget feeding conditions – Make an annual statement You must pay attention when you read supervision letters!

Environmental Assessment • Clarification of environmental approvals by lease/ purchase of stables: – – – –

Quantity Weight intervals Is the permit based on conditions The municipality may have downsized some of the livestock

• Are you in doubt whether or not livestock is permitted on your property? It can sometimes be necessary to dig a little to find “free” animal units. • Expansion options – Odour, ammonia (BAT), nature

Overview and focus in 2016 By Ulrik Christensen, Pig consultant

Nøgleark Svin • Important to know if results are as in budget. • Tools: – Efficiency control: Good to measure efficiency, but not as follow up tool in relation to budget. – Budget control: Good as control of cashflow, but efficiency is missing and quarters are summed up, so history disappears.

• Important that you have a tool, that presents the results to stakeholdes around the farm.

Nøgleark Svin • Quarterly monitoring of results and economics in the production. • Clarification of what a divergence means on the margin. • Monitoring of feed costs at home mixers. • Monitoring of areas where a divergence requires extra focus to achieve the goals in the budget. • Requires a valid efficiency control, with the economic-figures. • Good material to communicate efficiency and economy to the bank.

Focus helps

Focus – How? • We often see advisory programs alongside each other on the farm. • In the optimum situation, all advisors around the farm are involved: – The vet – Production advisor – Feed supplier

• Agreement on what to do and how it’s done, ensures follow up and good results. Everybody is pulling in the same direction. • Focus on a few things at a time.

Selection of results from 2015 • Focus: born alive first litter – 700 sows – +1,5 born alive first litter 1. quarter 2015 – +1 born alive, effect all litters 4. quarter 2015 – Effect on economics in 2016 app. 350.000 kr.

• Focus: Meat % – 7.000 slaughterpigs – +2% in 2015 – Effect on economics in 2016 approx. 120.000 kr.

• Focus: daily gain and feed consumption piglets 15.000 stk. – Improvement feed consumption 0,3 FE/kg gain and 40 grams hígher daily gain – Effect on economics in 2016 approx. 400.000 kr.

• Focus: Generel optimization – 500 sows – +3 weaned pigs pr. sow – Effect on economics in 2016 approx. 400.000 kr.

Break

Give the sows and the piglets the best start after farrowing By Lone Grube Hansen, Pig consultant

Goal: Healthy, fast growing piglets, Healthy and 7 kg at weaning

Look after the sow – then SHE looks after the piglets

It’s natural!

Take care of the sow • Farrowing pen – – – –

Clean – hygiene Dry Enough space to stand up and lay down Root material (Straw, hay, rope,...)

• Climate – Correct temperature (20-22°C, > day 4: 18-20°C) – No drafts

Take care of the sow • Water supply – Amount (25-60 Liters/day, min. 4 liters/minute) – Hygiene

• Feed supply – Right mix – Amount (Individual, farm and sow) – Hygiene

Take care of the sow • Health – Normal temperature (more than 40°C at farrowing, more than 39,5°C other days is fever) – Eats her feed well – No discharge of pus – The udder is not hard or red – The sow stands up and lays down easily – Clear or light yellow urine

Take care of the sow • Treatmeant – – – –

Antibiotics Probiotics Painkiller (young sows, old sows, all sows?) Oxytocin

• Is the sow calm? – Poistive human contact – Straw (There has to be root material at farrowing) – Hay or wrap hay

Take care of the piglet

• Heat

• Colostrum

• Energy

Heat

If a pig is cold it uses the energy (feed) to stay warm in stead of gaining weight!

Colostrum

There are many different products on the market - None of them can provide the original colostrum - Some of them can provide some antibodies (from cows) - All of them can provide more energy to the pig

38% of the dead piglets die of hunger

Hygiene

30% of the dead piglets die of Blood poisening

Avoid spreading of disease

Avoid umbilical hernia • Avoid infection – – – – –

Clean and dry/warm pen Desinfection pH-neutral Cut the cord (3-4 cm) Desinfection (iodine) Antibiotics?

• Don’t squeeze the pigs • Don’t pull the cord • Don’t use shavings or other material that can harm the navel • Is it hernia? Or a cyst?

FOCUS ON FEED USED PER PRODUCED PIGLET ●

Right level of daily supply of nutrients

●

Good feed conversion

●

2-3 diets for the sows  Gestation, Lactation, Transition (including the gilts)

●

Accurate methods for allocating feed

●

Management of body condition – P2 and palpation

CONCLUSION – BODY CONDITION

● 16-19 mm backfat at farrowing ● Sows should be in medium body condition at farrowing and weaning ● Body condition must be assessed by palpation and backfat measurement of the sows

ANATOMY OF THE STOMACH White part Cardia (mucus)

Fundus (mucus, hyd. acid, enzymes etc.)

Pylorus (mucus)

GOOD STOMACH HEALTH - COMPOUND FEED ● Stomach health is compromised by use of pelleted feed (publ. no 0909) ● Efficient solutions that can improve stomach health: 

Pellets + rolled barley with no heat treatment  Extruded meal +/- rolled barley with no heat treatment  Compound concentrate + cereals

● Not as efficient 

Rolled barley or wheat in the pellets

Feeding during lactation

The first week post-farrowing is crucial – approx. 5.5 kg daily on day 7 Trough must be empty 30 minutes after feeding Recommendation: 3–4 daily feedings

WHAT FACTORS CONTROL MILK PRODUCTION?

Piglets? Space by the udder prolongs milk letdown and following massage and increases weaning weight.

UTILISATION OF THE HOUSING UNIT • The farrowing pens is usually the first limiting factor for how many and how large pigs it is possible to wean • Optimum utilisation of the farrowing unit requires an even number of sows ready for farrowing each week • Many pigs per sow/year do not necessarily means optimum utilisation of the housing unit

CONCLUSION ● Composition of feed is important but often mistakes are the cause of problems ● Consistent management of body condition ● Coarse-grained feed counteracts gastric ulcers

● Take care of the sow then she will take care of the piglets - milk production must be increased ● Low weightloss during lactation increases litter size in next parity ● Optimum management requires that the flow of sows is determined.
