Abstract

Competitive environments in swine production make management strategies that increase profitability important. An open-coded model to evaluate the economic impact of two marketing strategies is developed for swine finishing operations. Higher profits are realized for a fixed-date marketing strategy in allied production than for a fixed-target-weight marketing strategy in independent production. Producing pigs to weights heavier than the average market weight also increases profits. Shipping pigs over a shortened time from a barn and decreasing time between batches of pigs improves profits if it can be done with a tighter weight distribution of pigs produced.
