Abstract. Every day, pig producers are faced with a myriad of decisions, some of which are made with limited information and by under-skilled staff. The result? Inefficiencies, high animal mortalities, and production losses. It‘s not that producers don‘t have access to data. The amount of data currently being generated is astounding. In the swine industry, environmental controllers, feeding systems, and production management and financial software all generate vast amounts of data on the millions of animals produced annually in the U.S. The problem is that producers often don‘t have the time or the skills necessary to translate all that data into useful information that can improve their management decisions.
