Abstract:
Productivity has been trending up in the
swine industry over the last 15 years. Much of the increased productivity is due to increased pigs/litter and increased market
weights. The efficiency of the breeding herd
(litters/sow/year) has been trending up in the U.S. but has remained relatively constant in Kansas.
Keywords: Swine; Industry trends; Productivity; Breeding herd efficiency
