Pig, Mr P Reynolds - Coggle Diagram

- - - - DLG = total weight gain/number of days DLG
  - - - A Low FCE = Efficient converters of feed to LWG
        
        FCR = feed per day (Kg)/DLG (Kg)
        
        Factors that affect DLG/FCR
        
        Breed –
        
        Efficient –Low FCR – Less Feed Cost
        
        Prolific – More Piglets – Increase Profit
        
        Milk – High Sow Milk – increase LWG –Increase Profit
        
        Health/Management -
        
        Vaccinated – Increase LWG
        
        Correct food Volume – Incease LWG
        
        Hygiene – Closed System - Less Disease – Increase LWG
        
        Housing
        
        Insulated – Maintain Temp – Incrrease FCR – Increase LWG
        Ventilated – Prevent Disease – Less Stress
        
        Diet
        
        High Protein – Increase LWG
        
        Essential Amino Acid are required (Lysine) - Increase LWG
        
        Balanced – Prevent Sickness
- - - - Served (AI) (Double Served)
  - - - Warmer than sow (30°C)
      - Attracts piglets away from sow
      - Prevents Crushing
      - Increase Milk Intake - LWG
    - - Naval Disinfected
        
        Prevent infection
      - Heated Pad/Creep Area
        
        Prevent Crushing
      - Iron Supplement
        
        Prevent Anaemia
      - Tail Docking
        
        Prevent tail Biting
      - Teeth Clipped
        
        Prevent teat Damage
      - Feed
        
        18-20% Protein
        
        14 Mj/Kg
        
        1.2% Lysine
  - - - encourage their natural rooting instinct
        prevent unnatural pig behaviours such as tail biting.
  - - - Pneumonia - Viral Infection -
        
        Cause - poor ventilation
        
        Symptom – Heavy Breathing/ Lethargic
        
        Prevention – Vaccination
      - Erysipelas - bacterial
        
        Prevented - Vaccination / Hygeine
        
        Cause – Poor hygiene.
        
        Symptom – Red Scales/Spot
      - Swine Flu
        
        Cause – Virus
        
        Symptom – Flu Like
        
        Prevention – Disinfection/Closed System
      - Anaemia (Deficiency Disease)
        
        Cause - lack of iron in the diet
        Prevented - iron injection.
- - - - Good Confirmation and Teats
      - Healthy – feet, Teeth, Disease
      - High Prolificacy (litter size)
    - - Boar smell/sound brings sow into heat
    - - Artificially Inseminated Twice:
        
        Increase conception Rate
        
        Decrease Empty Rate
        
        Minimise Profit Loss
- - - - Less chance of a disease spreading – Closed System
      - No transport problems for the animals
      - Less Chance of Injury
      - Labour extensive
    - - traceable back to the source farm.
      - ear tagged
      - slap marked
      - recorded on the National Pig Identification and Tracing System (NIPTS).
      - All boars in the Bord Bia quality assurance scheme must be DNA tested.
- - - - Low roof – Less Heat Loss
      - Insulated
      - Ventilated – Disease Transmission
