The valuable lean meat content of fattening pigs depends on how the pregnant sow is fed, because the number of muscles is determined in the womb. After the birth, the lean meat content continues to be determined by the development of the piglet and how much weight it puts on a day.
Later, in the fattening house, it is important not to allow the animals to become obese but, at the same time, allow them to grow quickly and to slaughter at the right time, in order to achieve the optimum percentage of lean meat.
This example again clarifies the interactions that exist between each individual life and production phase.
Everyone involved in pork production should therefore achieve the best possible performance in their sector.
Animals should also be prepared as well as possible for the phases that come next. This increases the profit in closed systems and creates crucial competitive advantages in work-sharing production.
Successful piglet and quality meat production is therefore only possible if the needs of the animals are optimally met in the various stages of life and performance.
