The goal of this production analysis is to aid the pork industry in improving efficiency. This is done through an analysis of anonymous production data using a standardized set of business logic and calculation algorithms which follows the industry to identify areas of opportunity and focus, production trends, and a basis for comparison.
Data in this study has been compiled by the MetaFarms Ag Platform (MAP) from farms across the United States that have been in production for a minimum of 5 years, to establish multi-year comparison analysis. The 2023 dataset represents 1,343,584 females from 472 farms as well as 18,041,502 Nursery pigs, 18,222,914 Finish pigs, and 10,322,035 Single-Stocked Wean-to-Finish pigs. Data integrity business rules were applied to remove outlier data and improve consistency.
