Helping Pork Producers take better control of their profits

WOODSTOCK – Cargill is helping pork producers utilize cutting edge research and technology so they can better take control of their profits. Utmost™, a dynamic new line of grow-finish feed, additives and nutritional solutions, allows pork producers to make better decisions based on the current market situation, thereby improving  profits at the finish line. Research and pilot trials have shown a profit increase of up to $2 per pig. “Market demand, fluctuations in commodities, and evolving changes in regulation around pork production have made it difficult for pork producers to consistently sustain profits,” says Tom Robinson, pork director, Cargill Animal Nutrition. “In this dynamic marketplace, it is essential that producers are able to make decisions based on information relevant to their own operation. This leading edge technology is designed to help producers optimize profits.” Using Utmost™, Cargill sales consultants can work with individual pork producers to design  the feeding program and management strategies required to earn up to $2 more per pig. The  combination of nutrition and management will be customized depending on whether the  operational goal is efficiency of gain, or highest average daily gain.
 
Providing real-time data to optimize feeding strategies for increased profit Cargill’s new DynAAmix™ and Carcass Yield Calculator provide real-time data used to optimize feeding strategies for increased profit in a dynamic market. Cargill consultants will use these  tools to predict performance and profits and ultimately design the exact feeding program and  management strategies to achieve up to $2 more per hog. Supported by vast global pork research, Utmost™ is built on the foundation of latest precise  Amino Acid ratio and new finisher Net Energy System, specifically designed for finishing pigs. 
 
The precise nutrition solution of DynAAmix™ and the Carcass Yield Calculator will help producers to optimize performance and financial returns within production constraints, mitigate cost and  revenue risk and go beyond nutrition. As a result, these predictive technologies will give Cargill’s customers flexibility and confidence to maximize profits in a dynamic market. “Given the competitive environment, our customers are looking for the best feeding and  production management strategy to help them run a successful pork operation,” said Dr. Bruno Marty, director of nutrition, Cargill Animal Nutrition. “The new Utmost™ offerings allow producers to maximize the impact of key production components on their economic performance and to receive expert advice on the best strategic scenario to implement.” Utmost™ is available globally and is already being used by many customers worldwide.
