Roundtable: Economic Uncertainty in Pig Production | Ep. 33

I wanted to introduce you to the Swine.it Podcast Roundtable. This is a new series of episodes envisioned by Provimi and Swine.it, where we will have bonus episodes in a roundtable format with experts of the global swine industry tackling subjects that can influence the producer’s bottom line.On this first episode, I chatted with Dr. Chad Pilcher and Mark Hulsebus, both from Provimi, about “Pig production in times of economic uncertainty”.Here are the highlights:• COVID-19 situation and shifts among pig producers;• Thoughts on managing a pork production business under economic uncertainty;• The biggest aspects producers should consider right now from a nutrition standpoint;• Overview on managing pig growth if/when packing plants reduce the number of shifts;• Tips on maintaining lean operations and having cash reserves;• Formulating for maximum profit versus minimum cost per kg of gain.This episode was edited and published by Lauro Faccin.
