However, the number of pigs per litter and marketing weights have each been growing at a rate of about 0.75 percent per year. This means that even small increases in farrowings can result in a 2 to 3 percent increase in pork production as is expected in the coming 12 months. | | | | Date Created: | 07 18 2006 | | | | Agency ID: | 2006-no.4 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000226 Original UID: 240 FIRST WORD: Livestock | |
