Embrapa Suínos e Aves updated the technical coefficients for chickens and pork that have an impact on production cost estimates and on the respective indices (ICPFrango and ICPSuíno) published by the Poultry and Pork Intelligence Center. The review aims to correct distortions in the estimates of unit costs (R$/kg live) and cost indexes (ICPs). For pigs, the main changes were the reduction in feed conversion from 2.8 kg to 2.5 kg of feed per kg live (-12%), the increase in final weight from 110 kg to 125 kg live (+14%) and the increase in sow productivity from 25.1 piglets to 28.6 piglets weaned per sow and year (+13%). The cost of pig production in Santa Catarina in January 2023 was estimated at BRL 6.98 per live kg, which represents a variation of -13.5% compared to the previous month. Thus, the ICPSuíno was at 399.35 ...
