The technical results for both sows and finishers at Vitelia continue to show an upward trend. Our sow farmers’ results for the first half of this year have increased again compared to the same period in 2024.
The number of live births increased by 0.4 piglets per litter to an average of 16.5. The number of weaned piglets per litter also increased by 0.4 per litter. This means that all extra piglets born are also being reared!
The farrowing rate is even 3% higher than the same period last year.
In finishers, growth also increased to almost 980 grams. This higher growth is due to a higher daily feed intake, which rose to a (corrected) EW intake per day of 2.55. The slaughter weight also increased by almost 1.5 kg to 101.3 kg.
