A new study by Iowa State University and the Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA) may allow niche market swine producers to
match the nutrients in feed to the needs of their pigs.
In the past few years, the market has seen a consumer demand
despite being a new development in agriculture. “In these value-added
markets, the primary cost of producing a pig is the same as in the
regular, commodity market; it’s the cost of the feed. Feed costs have
gone up so much that it compromises about 65 percent of the cost of the
production of any animal,” said John Mabry, animal science professor at Iowa State University.
