Hog Slaughter Numbers Lowest Since July 2012; Weights Filling Gap

Hog Slaughter Numbers Lowest Since July 2012; Weights Filling Gap
2014-06-03 00:08:00| National Hog Farmer
Last weeks federally inspected slaughter run of 1.750 million head was 6.6% lower than last year and is the lowest weekly total since the week of July 4, 2012. The year-on-year decline is a little more shocking in unit terms: 114,500 head. FI slaughter has averaged, over the past 4 weeks, 4.2% lower then one year ago. My computations for May based on porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) case accession data said May slaughter would be down 2.8%, so the decline for May has been even larger than I expected. That does not bode well for supplies later this summer when the accession data suggest that slaughter will decline by over 10% versus 2013. read more
Manipulators balance random weights automatically.
2014-04-03 14:30:58| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
With pneumatic AutoBalance feature, Manipulators automatically balance unknown weights as they lift them. Load is gripped and operator pulls up on manipulator's handlebars. Balance point rises until load lifts off floor and AutoBalance memorizes weight. From that point on, operator can let go of handlebars and pull load itself up and down in balanced state. Feature is useful when lifting same shape part in factory, but where there are 2 or more weights, or where weight varies randomly.

Impact of Sow Feeding on Pig Birth Weights
2014-02-27 19:04:00| National Hog Farmer
By Laura Greiner The average number of pigs born per sow has increased steadily over the years. As sows continue to increase the total born, the total litter weight rises however, not at the same proportion as the number of pigs born. Therefore, the average birth weight has a tendency to be lowered with larger litters. Data demonstrate that lower birth weight pigs have a higher chance of piglet pre-weaning mortality. Lower birth weight pigs are also delayed when it comes to days needed to reach market weight. In response to the concern of birth weights, nutritionists and reproduction specialists have been investigating ways to improve birth weights through sow feeding programs. read more
