Abstract: Sow farm management requires appropriate methods to forecast the sow population structure evolution. We describe two models for such purpose. The first is a semi-Markov process model, used for long-term predictions and strategic management. The second is a state-space model for continuous proportions, used for short-term predictions and operational management.
