Competition in the pork industry includes productivity and cost of production. A benchmark survey of Canada, USA, Mexico and South America shows Canada can improve efficiency by reducing the cost of weaned pigs, and increasing target weight. Reducing the cost of weaned pigs can be achieved by reducing the cost of feed, feed energy, facilities, labour and/or sow costs. Increasing market weight provides a good opportunity to increase profit because cost per kg decreases as pig weight increases.
