http://orgprints.org/7182/ Pig Husbandry in Germany - financial and physical results of a benchmarking analysis 2004/2005 Loeser, Rainer Education, extension and communication – The introduction of a benchmarking system with Excel spreadsheet tools for organic pig husbandry is part of a large advisory project in Germany which runs between 2004 and 2007 to train advisers with economical tools using them for the improvement of the farm sector and prepare on-going reliable financial and physical data of the sector. 12 consultants with 21 piglet producers and 26 farms with fattening pigs have worked out the full-cost-analysis for the years 2004/2005. The result of the first year (2004/2005) were published shortly. The results showed low physical performances against conventionally ones, but better than in a study for the year 2002/2003. The labour income is not satisfying. Only the best 25 % of the groups can reach a sufficient income. 2006 Conference paper, poster, etc. NonPeerReviewed other http://orgprints.org/7182/1/bpnwgpigloeser.doc Loeser, Rainer (2006) Pig Husbandry in Germany - financial and physical results of a benchmarking analysis 2004/2005.
