  1. Feed Price Update and Daily Feed Efficiency Drivers Joel DeRouchey, Mike Tokach, Bob Goodband and Steve Dritz Kansas State University www.KSUswine.org

  2. Presentation Outline • Feed efficiency drivers to reduce feed cost • Feed processing advancements • Ingredient and diet pricing • Additional resources

  3. Means to Reduce Feed Cost • Improved F/G = more profit? • Does the best achieving F/G producers mean they are the most profitable? – NO • Then is F/G tied to profitability? – YES, but is complicated based on individual situations. • Lowest cost diet = optimal return? • No, diet energy must be accounted for to assure growth rate is not jeopardized for optimal marketing • Another complicated decision making process

  4. Feed Efficiency Low ADG Other factors High feed disappearance Low ADG Other factors Genetics Disease Particle size Feed wastage Genetics Diet form Temperature Feed availability Mortality Water availability Feed delivery Diet deficiency Amino acid deficiency Temperature Low Energy diets Feed Efficiency High feed disappearance

  5. Feeder Adjustment • Poor adjustment with pans greater than 60% covered can increase feed wastage, especially in late finishing • Old feeders with poor feeder design or inability to adjust will increase wastage

  6. Meta-analysis results (15 experiments) Nitikanchana et al., 2012

  7. Wet-dry feeder economic analysis (IOFC, Income over feed cost) Feed cost = 306 $/ton, Carcass price = 0.88 $/lb, 1.5$/ %lean reduction Nitikanchana et al., 2012

  8. Effective Temperature • If temperature is too low, pigs will increase their feed intake to maintain body temperature. Because the feed is going towards heat needs and not growth, feed efficiency will become poorer.

  9. Effective Temperature

  10. Disease or Other Stress • Disease problems that lower ADFI will greatly lower ADG. Mortality will increase F/G by about 0.015 for each 1% increase in mortality when spread across the finishing period. • Stressors are additive • Reducing stress will improve F/G

  11. Update on Feed Processing Research to Reduce Costs

  12. Effect of particle size and diet form on finishing pig performance (d 0 to 111; BW 57 to 288 lb) Particle size and portion ground De Jong et al., 2012

  13. Effect of particle size and diet form on finishing pig performance (d 0 to 111; BW 57 to 288 lb) Particle size and portion ground De Jong et al., 2012

  14. Effect of particle size and diet form on finishing pig performance (d 0 to 111; BW 57 to 288 lb) Particle size and portion ground De Jong et al., 2012

  15. Effects of particle size on feed efficiency 1.2% per 100 microns 1.0% per 100 microns F/G Particle size, microns Particle size, microns

  16. Every 100 microns = F/G improves by ~1.2% 7 lbs less feed/finishing pig Current $0.98/pig savings in feed cost

  17. Grain Particle Size • F/G directly impacted by particle size of cereal grains • Research in high co-product diets: • While corn in diet is decreased, finishing pigs still respond similarly to improved F/G with reduced corn particle size • Whole diet grinding – not a benefit in meal diets • High fiber, low digestibly ingredients may be negatively affected by particle size reduction. • Takes more time/energy to grind cereals finer, however, less total tonnage is manufactured by the mill. • Testing method impacts results: • Lab using a flow agent will report a value approximately 80 µ lower then actual.

  18. Average response = 5.0% for ADG and 4.0% for F/G

  19. Effects of pellet quality on F/G in 30 to 70 lb pigs a F/G Nemecheck et al. 2012

  20. Pellet quality Pellets with fines Good quality pellets Nemecheck et al. 2012

  21. Effect of medium-oil DDGS on pig performance (d 0 to 67; BW 152 to 280 lb) 7.4% fat, 28.1% CP, 10.8% ADF, 25.6% NDF Medium-oil DDGS Graham et al., 2012

  22. Effect of medium oil DDGS on pig performance (d 0 to 67; BW 152 to 280 lb) Medium-oil DDGS (7.4% oil) Graham et al., 2012

  23. Effect of medium oil DDGS on pig performance (d 0 to 67; BW 152 to 280 lb) Medium-oil DDGS (7.4% oil) Graham et al., 2012

  24. Effect of medium oil DDGS on pig performance (d 0 to 67; BW 152 to 280 lb) Medium-oil DDGS (7.4% oil) Graham et al., 2012

  25. Variability in DDGS quality • Main issue is fat level Fat, % NE, % • Low = < 5% fat 4.0 80.0% • Medium = 6 to 9% fat 7.5 87.5% • High = > 9% fat 11.0 95.0% • Need to monitor DDGS quality or work with company that monitors DDGS quality • Ethanol plants guarantee often underestimate the true oil content – guarantee 6% but really 9% Corn DDGS quality control

  26. Predicted Digestible and Net Energy of DDGS

  27. Historical Ingredient Prices

  28. Example Diets with Alternatives • Phase = 125 – 170 lb of body weight • Corn = $7.30/bu ($260/ton) • SBM, 46.5% = $474/ton • DDGS (7.5% Fat) = $220/ton • Wheat midds = $212/ton • Meat and Bone = $550/ton • Moncal P, 21% = $540/ton • L-Lysine = $0.83/lb

  29. Effect of DDGS (0, 15, 30%) and Midds(0, 9.5, 19%) on pig performance (90 to 270 lb) Duration P > 0.38 SEM 2.54 Asmus et al., 2011
