The growing demands of the pork industry are resulting in the requirement of increasing data management. PigCHAMP is an example of a program that can be used to interpret farm results into data that can be applied to the barn to initiate improvement. Locations, body quality, feed intake, etc. can all be input into this program and analyzed. PigCHAMP can be used to manage processes, monitor performance, diagnose problem areas, and forecast future production. The data integrity report and action lists will help to ensure the quality of information input. Data will also help to minimize production costs, which is important in today’s day and age. It allows us to fine tune an operation to maximize revenue. For example, records can help to reduce non-productive days if we know how many times we HNS gilts before breeding, or what the average amount of regular returns are that occur. If we know there is a problem in these areas, we can fix them. We can also use the farrowing rate report to maximize the amount of crates occupied and reduce fixed cost per pig.
