Item Changing Marketing and Production Patterns of Minnesota Swine Producers(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981) Greene, Duty D.; Egertson, Kenneth E.; Eidman, Vernon R.Item An Economic Analysis of Three Confinement Farrow-to-Finish Production Systems(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979) Greene, Duty D.; Eidman, Vernon R.Item An Economic Analysis of Three Confinement Feeder Pig Production Systems(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980) Greene, Duty D.; Eidman, Vernon R.The feeder pig production enterprise includes a breeding herd, the farrowing of pigs and the marketing of eight-week old feeder pigs weighing approximately 40 pounds (18.2 kgs). A wide variation in the systems of producing feeder pigs exists. The number of litters produced per year and the level of capital investment facilities are two basic determinants of the system's animal flow and the annual total production of feeder pigs. These two characteristics are used as the basis to define and differentiate the feeder pig systems analyzed in this report.Item An Economic Analysis of Three Confinement Hog Finishing Systems.(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980) Eidman, Vernon R.; Greene, Duty D.This report is one in a series on the economic analysis of alternative swine production systems. The other reports of this series evaluate confinement farrow-to-finish production systems, confinement feeder pig production systems, and a one and twolitter farrow-to-finish pasture system. This series of reports has been prepared under Minnesota Experiment Station Project MIN 14-025: "An Economic Analysis of Swine Production Systems in Minnesota." This publication describes and evaluates three confinement hog finishing systems by calculating annual enterprise budgets and monthly cash flows for each system and then comparing the results. In addition to estimating the profitability and monthly capital requirements for each system, the financial computations are used to evaluate rental payments for hog finishing facilities. 35 pages
