Pig management
Pig farming management system: breeding, farrowing, weaning, and pig growth performance
An end-to-end pig farm management article covering sow breeding records, farrowing outcomes, weaning KPIs, health logging, and daily pig growth tracking.
Track every sow, boar, and litter
Pig farming becomes easier to manage when every sow, boar, and litter is tracked with consistent records. Start with animal IDs, birth dates, status, and breeding history so all teams work from the same source of truth.
Breeding, farrowing, and weaning
- Record service date, service count, boar or semen batch, and pregnancy check results to improve farrowing forecasts.
- Capture farrowing details (total born, alive, stillborn, mummified, interventions) for performance analysis.
- Log weaning date, pigs weaned, and post-weaning health notes to evaluate sow productivity and nursery performance.
Weekly routine and health tracking
- Review upcoming farrowing dates, verify treatment follow-ups, and check feed conversion and growth trends by group.
- Update status changes and assign next-week action owners.
- Health records should cover vaccination, deworming, illness, injury, and medicines with next-action reminders.
Performance visibility
- Record weights at planned intervals, calculate average daily gain, and compare groups by age or housing.
- Document treatments and movements to inform biosecurity decisions and multi-site communication.
- Export monthly packs with breeding outcomes, farrowing metrics, health events, and growth KPIs for advisors and lenders.
Stay disciplined
High-performing pig management systems combine simple daily discipline with clear weekly reviews. Accurate records improve breeding outcomes, stabilize weaning performance, and strengthen overall herd profitability.
Nutrition and environment
- Link ration changes to upcoming farrowing or weaning groups so the diet supports the life stage.
- Monitor temperature and ventilation notes and attach them to group records in extreme weather.
Biosecurity plus data
Keep treatment logs, barn movements, and entrance/exit records in the same system so you can trace issues quickly and show partners a complete history.
