1 Guidelines for Estimating Weaner Pig (Nursery) Costs 2012 in Manitoba

2 Guidelines For Estimating Weaner Pig (Nursery) Costs 6-23 kg Based on marketing 35,381 pigs Date: October, 2012 This publication is intended to provide a format and a set of guidelines for determining the cost of production for a weaner pig 6-23 kg enterprise. This type of operation is intended to represent the second stage, or nursery, of a three stage pork system. The three production stages are as follows: first stage - farrow to 6 kg, second stage - weaner pig (nursery) 6 to 23 kg, third stage - grower/finisher 23 kg to market weight. Adjustments will be necessary when applying these figures to your enterprise. The assumptions on which the costs are based are outlined in the supporting pages. These assumptions were arrived at using the breeding stock, management practices, and facilities seen in modern, well managed swine operations of comparable size in Manitoba. Productivity and performance assumptions are based on information collected by department specialists, feed companies and other organizations. Where individual herd productivity and performance levels differ from those listed adjustments will be required. Accurate, up to date, production and financial records are essential for the effective application of these guidelines to an individual operation. Without such information accurate cost of production projections cannot be determined. Disclaimer: This budget is only a guide and is not intended as an in depth study of the cost of production of this industry. Interpretation and utilization of this information is the responsibility of the user. If you require assistance with developing your individual budget, please contact your local MAFRI office.

3 Guidelines: Weaner Pig (Nursery) Costs 6-23 kg 2 Weaner Pig (Nursery) Costs 6-23 kg Cost of Production The following farrow wean cost of production budget is based on the assumption that all feed is purchased. The budget also includes a land investment cost based on the assumption that 160 acres would be required for this size of operation, with 140 acres being rented out at $50 per acre. This landbase is in accordance with environmental regulations and permits a 2x P2O5 crop removal rate on suitable land. If developing a cost of production budget to include home mixed rations the following items should be added to the budget: - additional equipment costs associated with a mix mill; - additional bins for different ingredients; - additional labour for feed preparation. The rations illustrated in this budget are examples only. Individual farm conditions should be taken into account when formulating the diets. Producers need to know what the feed intakes of their animals are. Please consult with a nutritionist for diet formulations suggestions. The Manitoba pork production industry profile is changing and this budget was specifically designed to address the need of producers who may want to analyze the cost of starting up or switching to a swine nursery 6-23 kg operation. Several companies are offering contracts with varying levels of guarantees. Producers need to accurately calculate their costs before they can properly make a decision.
