Abstract: A dynamic swine model was developed which allows for continuous evaluation of production decisions based on an estimated animal growth function. Implications for optimal feeding and optimal marketing time were discussed. In particular, the economic impacts of changing market prices on replacement time and input use have illustrated the need to investigate optimal marketing time and feeding policies jointly.
