BPEX专注于猪的饲养和性能数据

　　If you don’t measure it, you can’t control it was one of the key messages to come out of the BPEX Innovation Conference.The theme of the event, held at Stoneleigh Park, was the future of pig feeding and performance data interpretation.

　　“如果你无法衡量不去测量它，你就无法控制它”，这就是BPEX创新大会给出的关键信息之一，是走出BPEX创新大会，本次活动是在丽石公园举行，其主题是未来养猪和性能数据的解读。

　　In his presentation Hugh Crabtree of Farmex said producing data was easy but it was worth nothing if it could not be interpreted.

　　来自Farmex的休·克拉布特里在他的幻灯片中介绍说，生成数据是容易的，如果不对它进行解释，那它是就没有价值的。

　　He said: "Data should be turned into knowledge then used to generate profit. Even the most experienced can learn something when they start measuring. "

　　他说：“数据应该转化为知识，然后用来产生利润，即使是最有经验的人也可以学到一些东西，当只要他们开始测量后。”

　　He said there was no need to measure everything but the key elements were temperature, water, energy, feed and growth.

　　"The data must be used to get more things more right more of the time. Do that and the pigs' biology will respond. It is mostly what we do to the pigs that gets in the way which means on-going monitoring and on-going training."

　　必须通过数据用来获得更多东西，更正确的事情，节省更多的时间获得更多正确的东西，通过这样做，猪的生物学指标会作出回应。基本上，我们以这种方式对猪所做的一切它主要是我们做什么，这都意味着我们要对猪进行持续的监测和持续训练的方式。

　　His presentation was followed by two from producers who had put the mantra into practice and benefited from it.

　　在他的报告之后是两位养猪生产者商的报告，这两位养猪人将他的跟随并把口号方法付诸实践，并已从中受益。

　　Harry Heath, farm manager at Whitely Manor Farm in Shropshire, has a 550 sow breeder/finisher unit and 500 acres of cereals.

　　哈利·希思，是怀特利庄园农场的什罗普郡农场的经理，拥有一个550头母猪/育肥舍和500英亩的农作物土地谷物。

　　He said they had a problem with poor growth in the nursery/grower unit following a restock and started making changes but didn't know which of the changes, if any, were having an effect.

　　他说，以前当在保育舍和育肥阶段表现出很差的生长性能差的问题，接下来有个补偿生长，于是我们开始发生了改变变化，但是确不知道其中的变化，如果有的话，这些变化哪些是有效果的。

　　He said: "Performance was being measured subjectively and we needed to change to it being based on objectivity. We wanted all the information stored in a single place so we produced a batch card.

　　他说：“以前是通过主观的观察来估测猪的生长表现，我们需要改变的是主观上被测量，以客观的称量为基础基于客观性，我们希望所有的信息都存储在一个地方，为此我们制作了一批次记录卡。

　　"From that we developed a farm dashboard to check performance against the last 12 months and relayed the information to both the vet and the nutritionist. The net result was a 6kg increase in weight going into finishing."

　　“从那时起，我们开发了的一个农场仪表板来检查过去12个月猪的生长性能，对过去12个月，并将这些信息传递了相应的信息给兽医和营养师。最终的结果是出栏时达到了6公斤增加的重量的增重。”

　　For the future, his aim is automated data capture to spend less time inputting and more time analysing.

　　对于未来将来，他的目标是自动化的数据采集，以减少数据录入的时间花更少的时间输入，并有花更多的时间来分析数据。

　　The second was Tom Allen of DC and RJ Allen based near Wallingford Oxfordshire, a family pig and arable business.

　　第二个养猪人农场是汤姆·阿伦，来自DC和RJ艾伦，位于牛津郡沃灵福德附近，以家庭养猪和耕种为主。

　　He said they already gathered data but the finishers were performing badly and they couldn't see why. An in-pen weighing platform was purchased which provided a huge amount of data including the number of pigs weighed, the heaviest the lightest and much more.

　　他说，他们已经收集到的数据，但是育肥阶段的生产性能却很糟糕，并且不知道问题出在哪里。于是我们购买了一套实时称量系统，这套系统提供了大量的数据，包括猪的称重数量、最重的猪、最轻的猪以及等等更多的信息更一点的数据等等。

　　He said: "Half way through the finisher stage growth was tailing off and we were able to see dips in growth in real time. We adjusted the feed curve which resulted in an improvement of 60g a day.

　　他说，在育肥阶段进行到一半的时候，生长速开始下降，我们能实时的看到。我们调整了喂料曲线，这使生长速度改善了60g/天

　　"The scales also showed how poor was my selection for slaughter! This forced me into weighing individually every week for the three weeks leading up to slaughter which has resulted in increased sale weight and reduced overweight pigs.

　　“这天秤还展示了我选择的屠宰方式是如何差，出栏肥猪的方式是多么的糟糕！这使得我不得不在出栏前的三个星期内到每一个星期对每头猪单独称重持续三周到屠宰，这使我在提高出栏体重的同时又减少了过肥肥猪的数量从而造成出栏的增重，减少了超重猪。

　　"Although the scales were costly, they helped solve the problem and paid for themselves very quickly."

　　“虽然天秤是昂贵的，他们帮助称量器材很贵，但它们有助于解决问题，并很快支付了自己地收回成本。”
