In this episode, we have an interesting journey talking with Chantel Pennicott a South African M.S. graduate in pig simulation modeling and nutrition.* 00:02:03 We start discussing if modeling is the way to mitigate risk in the swine industry and if it can be used in pig producers' favor.* 00:03:52 Feed efficiency or the highest gains, treatments, may not bring necessarily the highest profits* 00:04:12 We discuss our guest model development, EFG pig modeling optimizers, and Gompertz equation, to predict pig's performance, from feed intake to weight gain, and other important information.* 00:06:35 We simulate a market scenario, in the summertime, discussing with the guest possible recommendations for the producers. Predicting the change in the animal's feed intake, and providing feed with the highest or lowest nutrients according to the case.* 00:10:06 The market is becoming more and more volatile, with lower and lower margins, so modeling will give farmers a competitive advantage in the now decision making.* 00:15:05 About fiber, how to utilize it.* 00:17:31 Components or ingredients in South African pigs' diet.To stay connected to The Real P3 subscribe at https://zfrmz.com/fKGhOXhbGkXbZScVeJXW.To keep up-to-date on the global swine industry or to listen to more episodes visit www.pigprogress.net.
