Pigs on a farm illustrating the fattening phase and feed efficiency in pig production

Fattening Pig Feed Efficiency: A Key Performance Issue in Farming

Feed efficiency reflects the ability to convert ingested feed into weight gain. In pig production, particularly during the fattening phase of market pigs, feed represents the main cost. Therefore, mastering feed efficiency is a major challenge for the technical and economic performance of farms.

Supporting the Swine Industry Towards Performance Excellence

CCPA leverages its expertise to optimize feed efficiency in fattening: farm audits, raw material analyses, formulation studies, modeling, additive screening, in vitro and in vivo digestibility tests, valorization of experimental and field trials, as well as targeted nutritional recommendations. An applied scientific approach that transforms every kilogram of feed into optimal and profitable growth.

Three Essential Pillars for Feed Efficiency

  1. A robust formulation matrix, ensuring balanced and high-performing feeds.

  2. In-depth knowledge of fattening pigs’ needs, in relation to the farming context and the objectives for valorizing the finished product.

  3. Mastery of functional ingredients, contributing to the improvement of feed digestibility and efficiency

An approach that combines science, precision, and field performance to maximize growth and farm profitability.

Premixes, Nutritional Solutions, and Services for Sustainable Performance

CCPA offers premixes and nutritional solutions, such as CREA ADVANCE, based on plant extracts, designed to improve the feed conversion ratio. The digestibility trials in vivo conducted allow for the evaluation of nutritional value and the optimization of the economic profitability of the feed.

In a context of evolving environmental expectations, feed efficiency also aligns with a logic of sustainability and a CSR approach. CCPA develops approaches integrating multi-criteria formulation, life cycle analyses (LCA), and modeling of balances at the production unit level.
