Grow-Finish

The wean-to-market side of the operation. Track every batch from placement through ship, budget and reconcile feed against the batches that eat it, catch mortality and feed run-out 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.

The SwineOps Grow-Finish module — Grow-finish dashboard

What it does

Batch & barn management

Batch tracking from placement through ship
Movement logging — placements, transfers, and shipments — that keeps inventory current
Mortality recording with cause codes
Per-barn and per-batch 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 batches, with phase-by-phase variance once deliveries post
Feed Planner — per-barn bin fill, burn rate, and run-out date with order-now prompts (auto-fed by BinSentry bin readings where installed)

Market & closeout

Sort/grade analysis with premium and discount tracking against the packer grid
Kill-sheet import and batch closeout
Cost per pig and feed conversion that build live, not at month-end
Actual and freight-adjusted cost side by side — self-haul freight added back and FCR restated to a standard weight window, so farms compare on a level field
Single-batch or barn-range closeouts, and multi-batch comparison side by side on the same KPIs

How it works

1
Place the batch

Open the batch 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 batch grows.
3
Manage the barn

Log movements and mortalities from a phone; inventory, feed burn, and cost per pig stay current, and the Feed Planner flags a bin before it runs dry mid-phase.
4
Sort, ship & close out

Ship to the packer, import the kill data, and the batch closes out with cost per pig — actual and freight-adjusted — already built.

How it connects

Grow-Finish runs against the batches 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 batch. Loads to the packer are Movement & Compliance events, and the barn's grow-finish status rolls up into the Operations Hub for the 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 batch grows, surfaces a bin about to run dry before it costs you a phase, and rolls the kill sheet back onto the batch — 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 batch instead of waiting for the invoice.

Can I compare cost per pig fairly between a delivered-feed farm and a self-haul farm?

Yes. Closeout shows actual and adjusted figures side by side — self-hauled tonnage gets a freight add-back at your configured $/tonne, and FCR is restated to a standard weight window — so farms compare on a level field instead of being penalized for how feed reaches the barn or where a batch started and ended on the scale.

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 batch 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 batch, so head counts and cost per pig stay current.
