The economic and environmental value of genetic improvements in fattening pigs: An integrated dynamic model approach.

Journal of animal science - 1 Aug 2015

Niemi J K, Sevón-Aimonen M-L, Stygar A H, Partanen K

Abstract excerpt

The selection of animals for improved performance affects the profitability of pig fattening and has environmental consequences. The goal of this paper was to examine how changes in genetic and market parameters impact the biophysical (feeding patterns, timing of slaughter, nitrogen excretion) and economic (return per pig space unit) results describing pig fattening in a Finnish farm. The analysis can be viewed...
