The profit difference between digital pig farming and conventional pig farming
Below is a data comparison between a farm with an annual output of 20,000 slaughter pigs and 1,200 sows using traditional gestation stalls versus using intelligent precise sow feeding equipment.
Infrastructure investment
Traditional farming Amount Intelligent sow feeding equipment farming Amount Increase
Number of breeding pigs 1,200 2.4 million yuan Requires 800 1.6 million yuan -80
3,000 sq m gestation barn 450,000 2,000 sq m gestation barn 300,000 -15
Total cost of gestation stalls 250,000 Intelligent sow feeding equipment requires 14 units: 12 feeders, 1 estrus detection unit, 1 intelligent separation unit, computers, etc. 960,000 71
Total 310 286 -24
② Annual farming cost analysis for the year:
Traditional farming Intelligent sow feeding equipment farming Savings
Investment item Amount (10,000 yuan) Investment item Amount (10,000 yuan) (10,000 yuan)
Feed cost for 1,200 sows (feed at 2.2 yuan/kg) 264 Feed cost for 800 sows 181 83
Medical costs (50 yuan/head) 60 Medical costs 48 12
Annual wages for 16 workers 32 Workers employed 3 29
Total 356 Total 232 124
