Feedstuffs Precision Pork: Feed conversion and profitability

In this episode of Feedstuffs Precision Pork, host Patrick
Duerksen, Commercial Director for Cargill, is joined by Cargill
nutritionists Chad Pilcher and Chris Parks to talk feed
conversion and profitability. They kick off with a discussion on
how best to roll up feed conversion and set as a priority that of
saving money or making money.  

How then does one set a feed conversion goal for a hog operation
based on economic conditions, energy costs and other factors?
What about variation within an operation? What needs to be
considered there? Can feed variation be a factor as well when it
comes to feed conversion? These are all questions that are
addressed.
