Analyzing Hog Production Strategies with a Simulation Model

Malcolm J. Blackie and J. Barry Dent

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1976, vol. 58, issue 1, 39-46

Abstract: Simulation modelling has attracted considerable farm management research interest in recent years, yet the on-farm use of simulation models has been limited. A simulation model for hog production has been developed as part of an information system which may assist hog farm managers both in choosing between competing management strategies and also in implementing any chosen plan. The process involved in selecting the most suitable management strategy is illustrated using data from several hog units. The incorporation of the model into an information system ensures that the model is accessible to farm managers and their advisers.
