COMPUTATION FOR 30 SOW LEVEL FARM
In the conduct of this activity, the occupancy period represents the number of days
the lactating sow and the weaners stay in their respective pens, including cleaning and
disinfection. As have been mentioned, one should have assumptions of production
parameters refer to PAES 401:2001 to serve as starting points and one can proceed with
the calculation:

𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑆𝑜𝑤 𝐿𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 = 30

𝐹𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑔/𝐿𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝐼𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑥 = 2.2
