Precision Production of Pigs – Unlocking Profitability Through Managing Variation

In today’s competitive swine industry, precision and profitability go hand in hand. Join us for an insightful webinar featuring Dr. Oliver Duran, health of global technical services in Boehringer Ingelheim, and Lance Mulberry, agricultural economist and partner at KnowledgeVentures, LLC, renowned for his expertise in bio-economic modeling and AI forecasting in swine production.

This session will explore how variation in pig performance—from breeding to carcass quality—impacts profitability across the pork supply chain. We’ll dive into the economic consequences of variability, both at the macro and micro levels, and discuss why measuring uniformity improves decision making compared to relying on averages.

Participants will gain practical insights into:

• How to collect and analyze variation data in the field
• The role of packer matrices and EU carcass classification systems
• The concept of Precision Production as a next step beyond economies of scale
• Real-world ROI examples, including studies from Australia and Japan

Whether you're a producer, veterinarian, or industry stakeholder, this webinar will equip you with actionable strategies to reduce variation, improve carcass value, and enhance overall farm profitability.
