Grow-Finish

The wean-to-market side of the operation. Track every group from placement through ship, budget and reconcile feed against the lots that eat it, catch density and mortality problems the day they happen, and close out against the kill sheet — so cost per pig is a live number, not a closeout-day surprise.

What it does

Lot & barn management

Group and lot tracking from placement through ship
Movement logging with stocking-density alerts when a pen runs over threshold
Mortality recording with cause codes
Per-barn and per-lot inventory that stays accurate across moves

Feed budgeting & cost

Template-driven feed budgets across the production cycle
Per-phase ration model — per-pig ration × head × days in phase
Modeled burn vs delivered, so on-hand draws down per phase before the invoice lands
Feed-cost forecast against active lots, with phase-by-phase variance once deliveries post

Market & closeout

Sort/grade analysis with premium and discount tracking against the packer grid
Kill-sheet import and lot closeout
Cost per pig and feed conversion that build live, not at month-end

How it works

1
Place the group

Open the lot at placement; head count and barn assignment start the record.
2
Budget the feed

Apply a feed budget template; per-phase ration burns against head and days as the lot grows.
3
Manage the barn

Log movements and mortalities; density and budget breaches alert before they cost you head.
4
Sort, ship & close out

Ship to the packer, import the kill data, and the lot closes out with cost per pig already built.

How it connects

Grow-Finish runs against the lots the Sow & Breeding module weans, and the feed it burns reconciles against the feed invoices captured in Financial — so modeled burn and real cost meet on the same lot. Loads to the packer are Movement & Compliance events, and density, mortality, or budget breaches surface in the Operations Hub for the barn manager.

Grow-Finish is where the cost of a market hog is actually made, and most of it stays invisible until closeout in a spreadsheet operation. SwineOps models feed burn against head and days as the lot grows, flags a pen that tips over its density threshold the afternoon it happens, and rolls the kill sheet back onto the lot — so feed conversion, days to market, and cost per pig are numbers you watch all the way to the packer, not ones you reconstruct after the pigs are gone.

Frequently asked

Is "consumed" feed what was delivered, or what was eaten?

Modeled burn — per-pig ration × head × days in phase — not delivery. On-hand is delivered minus burned, so the bin number reflects what's actually left and the cost forecast moves with the lot instead of waiting for the invoice.

Does it alert on stocking density?

Yes. Movement logging checks stocking density against your per-organization threshold and raises an alert (rate-limited so it doesn't spam) when a pen runs over, routed to the Operations Hub.

How does sort and grade tracking work?

Kill data is imported and analyzed against the packer grid, so premiums and discounts — and the sort loss on under- and over-weight hogs — are visible by lot rather than buried in a settlement.

Can barn staff capture mortalities and moves on a phone?

Yes. Movements and mortality with cause codes are captured in the barn and flow straight onto the lot, so head counts and cost per pig stay current.
