This article reviews some of the key performance indicators (KPIs) which provides a closer look at the impact of various farrowing room management techniques on overall productivity. The KPIs are drawn from the near-million-sow database of Swine Management Services (SMS), Inc., Fremont. NE. From the data collected, it is clear that some practices can improve farrowing room performance. Pork producers should evaluate all practices, such as extended farrowing hours and induced farrowing, to determine whether they provide the level of performance improvement necessary to justify the additional expense associated with them. The data does not show, however, the variation in performance that some farms realize, while others fail to experience a similar advantage.
