Under historical average prices, feeding Paylean appears to be a profitable innovation
\nfor many producers. Regardless of whether Paylean is adopted or not, the highest returns
\naccrue to production systems with superior management and growing environments. In
\naddition, a phase-feeding program makes a substantial contribution to increasing returns.
\nPaylean requires increasing the dietary lysine percentage to obtain the full potential
\nbenefit. The optimal Paylean concentration and net return from Paylean adoption
\nincrease with the ratio of lean value to fat value. It is optimal to initiate Paylean supplementation
\nfor CF hogs at a lighter weight and feed Paylean for a longer period compared
\nwith SEW hogs.
\nBased on results of the sensitivity analysis, the optimal Paylean concentration is
\nsensitive under payment schemes 3 and 4 only, and the length of the optimal Paylean
\nsupplementation period is relatively stable. In addition, the returns from hog production
\nare not sensitive to the price of Paylean, but are highly sensitive to finishing hog and
\nfeeder pig prices.
\nFuture work should examine additional strategies for managing Paylean. Ideally,
\nthese approaches will be coupled with live animal studies that evaluate the biological
\nresponses to a broader range of Paylean supplementation strategies-including step-up
\nprograms where the Paylean concentrations are increased over time. Additional research
\nis also needed to assess the effect of Paylean on the within-barn variability in hog
\ngrowth. Ultimately, a stochastic model of hog growth should be developed that permits
\nfme-tuning of herd-level marketing strategies and allows evaluation of Paylean’s effect
\non herd variability and its impact on producers’ net returns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
