The objective was to estimate the impact the accuracy in which pigs are sorted for marketing
has on the optimal market carcass weight (CW) using a stochastic model. Three levels of …

The objective was to estimate the effect that sorting accuracy at marketing has on the optimal
market carcass weight (CW) and economic returns. Two types of errors were evaluated: BW …

The BW growth curves for twenty-five 4,000-head finishing barns were simulated to evaluate
the effect of 2 types of market pig sorting errors on the sort loss at different mean carcass …

The objectives were to use actual data to evaluate methods to quantify the amount of error in
the estimation of BW for market pigs and its effect on several statistics including the SD in …

The BW growth curves for twenty-five 4,000-head finishing barns were simulated to (1)
evaluate methods to quantify the errors in the estimation of BW for market pigs from …

Pork processors have the objective to produce uniformly sized lean products. Most US pork
processors have developed marketing systems to discount carcasses with weights less or …

Methods to analyze pig BW data collected by an animal sorting technology scale without
individual pig identification were evaluated. Data were obtained from 5 grow-finishing …

A method to analyze pig BW data collected by an animal sorting technology scale without
individual pig identification was evaluated. Data for ten 1000-pig grow-finish barns were …

Pork processors use marketing grids in which carcasses heavier or lighter than specified
carcass weights (CW) are discounted in value. In North America most processors discount …

The study aimed to offer clarification on pig sort loss and associated marketing strategies
using a simulated pig marketing model that contemplates both the carcass weight and the …
