The history of the enterprise began 4 years ago with a deserted pig farm in the Obychiv village near Pryluky where ruins were left from 20 premises located on 18 hectares of land. But if you have the reliable team of people who think the same way and if you have the real desire to go forward any task is within the power. Fail to Thrive 21 .01.2013 12:32:59 є 6Т2012 (12) Technologies Ч Animal health Enteric diseases are some of the most significant contributors to baby pig morbidity and mortality in the farrowing house. Piglet immunity must be maximized in order to provide them with the opportunity to thrive in the farrowing house. The production of consistent, high quality pigs is a goal all sow operations are working to achieve. By maximizing piglet immunity and using proper husbandry practices, scouring problems can be minimized. Escherichia coli, clostridial diseases, rotavirus, and coccidiosis continue to be the major pathogens of concern in the pre-weaning period. Some things have changed over time while others continue to be the same. It is the goal of this paper to briefly review key concepts on maximizing piglet immunity as well as address some of the current trends in enteric pathogens in the farrowing house. Maximising Output From A Sow Farm 21 .01.2013 11:46:14 є 6Т2012 (12) Management and economics The traditional measurement for the efficiency of a sow farm is ‘pigs per sow per year’. If you ask 100 pig farmers or pig farm managers how the farm is performing they will probably all quote how many pigs per sow per year they are doing. It is even used to compare the efficiency of different countries. As a method of measuring sow farm efficiency it is seriously flawed. It tells us only what individual sows are doing but it tells us little about the business. The reasons are as follows. Feed wastage 21 .01.2013 10:07:28 є 6Т2012 (12) Management and economics In a time of record feed prices, it is essential that feed wastage be minimized. It is estimated that 10% of feed delivered is wasted on the average farm. On a 250 sow unit this can be more than 150 tonnes of feed per year (whole farm — farrow to finish — feed consumption at 6.3 tonnes per sow per year). Feed is wasted along the entire feed line from field to rectum! This article details some of the areas where this wastage occurs at the farm level and focuses on simple management practices to reduce this waste. Reducing feed wastage by half would amount to a reduction in cost of 8-9 AU$c/kgdeadweight — Au$6.30 per pig sold (70kg dead weight — head off —Western Australia norm). This could be the difference between profit and loss on many farms. Nice to meet you. Ractopamine 26 .11.2012 16:40:01 є 5Т2012 (11) Technologies Ч Feeding Each pig producer wants his pigs to change fat into muscle tissue after depleting its genetic potential. It looks like a dream. But it is not. We have ractopamine which can change all make all these dreams come true. But everything is not so simple, as it’s not clear yet if it is good or bad. Viktor Lisnyy: УKnowledge is a wealth that gives the chance in lifeФ 16 .11.2012 15:07:06 є 5Т2012 (11) Focus Every year we hear more and more complaints on detachment of soviet agrarian educational establishments from day to day realities. Reading matter that corresponds modern requirements is not enough. There are also very little places where students can do practical trainings. As a result young graduates don’t begin their careers in agriculture. But there are exceptions. We talked to Viktor Lisnyy about how Freedom Farm Bacon, Ltd. trains highly qualified specialists and keeps the leading positions on breeding market of Ukraine. Top-7 mistakes of pork producers 14 .11.2012 12:31:50 є 5Т2012 (11) Management and economics «We keep pigs only for one reason — to make money», — the presentation of the famous British expert Simon Grey began with these words at the IV International Congress Profitable Pig Production. You will find his advice how to avoid the most common mistakes in pig production in this article. It is easy to be successful, the only thing that is necessary for that is to evaluate the situation correctly and make a right decision! Urinary tract infections of sows 13 .11.2012 17:35:19 є 5Т2012 (11) Technologies Ч Animal health When the urinary tract, which is usually sterile, is colonized by bacteria it results in an infection which is most often sub-clinical. A variety of endogenous and opportunistic microbes such as E. coli, Streptococcus sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, Klebsiella sp., Pseudomonas sp., Aeromonas sp., Bacteroides sp. are natural inhabitants of the lower urinary tract and are able to cause non specific UTI. However, they may open the door to invasion by Actinobaculumsuis, which is gram-positive, fimbriated etiologic agent of specific UTI. UTI includes cystitis (inflammation of urinary bladder) and pyelonephritis (inflammation of kidneys). The microbiological ecosystem of urinary tract of sows changes spontaneously during production events but the largest changes are caused by antimicrobial treatments. Commercial classification of carcasses in Ukraine Ч a bad shot 12 .09.2012 11:47:43 є 4Т2012 (10) Management and economics Under the conditions of modern pig production in Ukraine products quality control has becoming more and more important. This question was solved long ago in EU countries where there are directives which administratively support the standards of carcasses classification of cattle and pigs. They set a clear gradation of meat and meat products prices thus encouraging producers’ interest and effectiveness of production. It is simple and effective scheme, but Ukrainians appear not to like simplicity and effectiveness... Infectious atrophic rhinitis of pigs 06 .09.2012 17:57:42 є 4Т2012 (10) Technologies Ч Animal health Vitaliy Piotrovych, Ph.D of veterinary science, veterinary adviser Lately a great deal of attention is paid to start up triggers of the complex of respiratory diseases; which are the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS)/ causative agents of porcine circovirus and mycoplasmosis. Such diseases are currently important, they are the subject for discussion at seminars, conferences, congress and in scientific and scientific-practical publications. But there are numerous infectious diseases of pigs a of bacterial etiology which are also very important as they cause the decrease of pig production profitability. Infectious atrophic rhinitis of pigs is one of them. Pages ← Ctrl previous next Ctrl → 1 2 3 4 5 6 Search © 2010–2013 Dykun Global Consult Design — Oleksandr tr Roslov Contact information
