    The swine team at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) have provided management tips that swine producers can utilize to help reduce feed costs in the grower-finisher barn. Since feed accounts for 65 to 75 per cent of the cost of raising a pig, and feed costs keep rising, it makes good business sense to reduce costs through proper feeder management.

    Swine feeder management in the grower-finisher barn is about maintenance of and adjustments to feed systems for savings. Two per cent feed wastage can amount to six kilograms of feed. OMAFRA’s grower – finisher specialist created a seven-minute video that shows what producers can do to reduce feed waste and costs. The video highlights feeder management tips for improving feed usage in the grower-finisher barn.

    The swine feeder management in the grower-finisher barn video is on OMAFRA’s website at Ontario.ca\swine.
