Vision
• Reduce FEED COSTS;• Improve HERD FEED CONVERSION EFFICIENCY,
and;• Enhance the capacity to COST-EFFECTIVELY
produce HEALTHY PORK PRODUCTS targeted at niche markets in Australia and overseas
A Cooperative Research Centre to enhance the INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS of the Australian pork industry by providing and adopting NEW and NOVEL technologies that:
Core program areas
1. More reliable and consistent protein and energy supply
2. Herd feed conversion efficiency
3. Functional pork products4. Education and training
Research Investment Process
• Pork CRC Ltd is a company with clear corporate objectives
• Not a public sector funding body
• Outcomes must be achieved – research will be commissioned to achieve these outcomes as efficiently as possible
Program Funding
Program Proportional Funding ($ 3.6M)
Reducing feed costs. 33%
Improving HFC. 45%
Functional pork products.
12%
Education/Training 10%
To reduce feed costs…
• Dedicated feed grains (barley, triticale)– Local supply– Less variability in price and
supply– Enhanced utilisation
• Greater capacity to measure nutrient content
• Wider choice of ingredients (legumes, co-products)
Subprogram 1a: Innovative grain production
• Commercial quantities of cereals that can grow closer to pig producing regions, that have a high yield, cost-effective agronomy and acceptable nutritional characteristics for pigs.
• Commercial quantities of pulses (peas, lupins, beans) that can grow closer to pig producing regions, that have a high yield and cost-effective agronomy.
Subprogram 1b: Quality assessment of feed ingredients
• Adopt, implement, enhance and maintain NIRS calibrations for nutritional quality of cereals developed within the Premium Grains for Livestock Program.
• A wider range of rapid and objective analytical methods for the nutritional quality of feed ingredients.
• Processing and interventions to increase nutrient yield from target grains.
Subprogram 1c: Wider range of feed ingredients for use in pig diets
• Identification and development of new and novel protein and energy sources based on co-products and/or traditional sources
• Assessment of nutritional potential of candidate protein and energy sources
• Implementation of non-traditional and alternative protein and energy production.
Program 1-More and better grains/enhancing nutrient availability
More appropriate grains for pigs.
Reduce average cost of pig diets by 10%.
Measurement and enhancement of nutrient availability
Increase DE of grains by 1MJ/kg.
To improve herd feed conversion…
• More control over feed intake• Increase metabolic efficiency• Improve health status• Raise reproductive efficiency• Enhance viability of breeding
females
Subprogram 2a: Innovative products and strategies for the measurement of feed
intake.
• A method for the practical and continuous measurement of feed disappearance in groups (ie a pen of pigs at least daily).
• A method for practical and continuous measurement of feed wastage within groups.
• Novel methods for the measurement of individual feed intake within a group.
• Prediction of disease onset through the application of feed intake measurements.
Subprogram 2b: Innovative products and strategies for the manipulation of feed
intake.
• Novel molecules (eg. cytokines) and feed ingredients (eg. grains, inherent plant compounds, plant extracts) that can be used to manipulate feed intake.
• Elimination of post-weaning growth check and promotion of gut development through stimulation of feed intake.
• Improved carcase quality through manipulation of feed intake in growing pigs.
Subprogram 2c: Alternative therapies, products or strategies to improve pig
production efficiency and reduce mortality of all growth phases.
• Nutritional, genetic, immunological and management solutions for the control and/or reduction of disease and mortality as an adjunct or alternative to existing medication programs in all growth phases.
• Development of nutritional strategies and further enhancement of metabolic modifiers and their mode of application (eg. Paylean, pST) to improve lean tissue deposition.
• Implement novel genetic and reproductive tools and technologies to enhance production efficiency.
Subprogram 2d: Extend and enhance the productive life of the breeding female
through novel management and system design.
• Nutritional, genetic and management strategies to improve the productive capacity of the gilt over her lifetime.
• Intervention strategies to reduce seasonal infertility.
• Practical system for the prediction of the time of ovulation.

My R&D priorities for the Australian Industry (all linked with
training/education)
Priority OutcomesReproduction KPI=wt/sow/year and/or simplify the process
(remove the human).
Grains More feed grains,identify variation in nutrient availability and enhance nutrient availability.
Nutrition Quantify effects of fibre and fat on performance. Lower cost higher income.
Genetics Much more efficient pigs and high reproductive (weaning) capacity.
Health/growth manipulation Health improvement within current systems and enhanced performance.
Feed Intake Ability to measure/predict and manipulate.
Programs/outcomes continued
Priority Outcomes
Functional Pork Products
Products with scientifically supported benefits for humans.Increased national and global demand.
Chances of success
Category Chances of success
Reproduction Low ? without different approaches
Grains and nutrient availability High if coordinated properly.
Nutrition High
Genetics Questionable based on history but definitely a more global solution to constraints
Health/Growth manipulation Low based on history/high
Feed Intake Medium to high
Functional foods Medium
Performance indicators…
• Reduction in on-farm cost of production from $2.05/kg carcase to $1.50/kg carcase (2004 currency values)
• Capture of new niche markets for value added pork products by 2012
Can we get there?…
