600 Sows
105kg sale wt = 1.35 million kg meat sold
2018+
531 Sows
117kg sale wt = 1.35 million kg meat sold
But !Requires 700 extra spaces: 300 weaner
400 finisher
Teagasc Presentation Footer12
Show me the money…
300*€200 = €58k
400*€300 = €119k = Total cost €177 k
Annual repay €22,480
However !!
69 less sows = 69*1.3t = 90t less feed (€275)
= €24,670 less on feed
Annual saving = €2,200 =
+ 330 less AI services/yr!

What Do You Need to Do?
Examine space & pig flow required on unit
