However, uncertainty around performance improvements and costs have traditionally stopped producers with internal multiplication from increasing selection pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increased costs\/losses are directly related to the expanded gilt pool required to achieve a higher selection rate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-red-dots\"><li>Performance loss in wean-to-finish: Increasing the gilt pool results in more gilt production by- products and by-products generally do not perform as well as commercial pigs in feed conversion rate (FCR) and average daily gain (ADG).<\/li><li>Performance loss on sow multiplier farm (PSY Output): An expanded gilt pool requires more sows and GP sows may produce fewer piglets than commercial sows.<\/li><li>Loss on extra gilts going to cull market: The larger gilt pool needed for increased gilt selection pressure results in more non-select gilts going to the cull market versus reaching full market value because of sending a F1 to market instead of a commercial slaughter pig with the adequate market weight.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When do performance benefits outweigh increased costs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PIC conducted an ROI (return on investment) analysis on increasing gilt selection pressure to identify the performance improvements required to achieve a return. In the analysis, we evaluated the costs of increased gilt selection pressure and the associated change in overall sow herd performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We compared a baseline of no gilt selection (95% gilt selection rate) to 85%, 75% and 65% gilt selection rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assumptions made in our ROI analyses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Internal multiplication<\/li><li>Sow lifetime performance: The number of piglets produced in the sow\u2019s lifetime while maintaining sow inventory size and replacement rate. One piglet in sow lifetime performance is estimated as 12-13 \u00a3\/sow\/year.<\/li><li>Sow mortality opportunity loss: The monetary value lost not being able to sell the sow to the cull market, plus the extra cost to produce the gilt to fill the gap left by the dead sow within the herd. One percentage point for sow mortality is estimated at 2.50-3.50 \u00a3 sow\/year.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breakevens and returns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Sow lifetime performance:<\/span><\/em> The analysis indicates increasing gilt selection pressure from 95% to 75% requires a sow lifetime performance increase of 0.6 piglets to break even or 0.8 piglets to achieve a 50% return on investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Economics_Gilt-Selection_LifetimePerformance_ENG.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5880 size-full\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong><em>Sow Lifetime Performance:<\/em><\/strong><br>Number of piglets increase needed to achieve return relative to selection rate<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Sow mortality:<\/span><\/em> The analysis indicates increasing gilt selection pressure from 95% to 75%, requires a sow mortality reduction of 2.2 percentage points to breakeven or 3.4 percentage points to achieve a 50% return on investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Economics_Gilt-Selection_SowMortality_ENG.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5879 size-full\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Sow Mortality:<\/strong><br>Reduction in mortality needed to achieve return relative to selection rate<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Combining Sow lifetime performance and sow mortality:<\/span><\/em> Gilt selection rate impacts both sow lifetime performance and sow mortality.
