They kick off with a discussion on how best to roll up feed conversion and set as a priority that of saving money or making money.  <br /><br />How then does one set a feed conversion goal for a hog operation based on economic conditions, energy costs and other factors? What about variation within an operation? What needs to be considered there? Can feed variation be a factor as well when it comes to feed conversion?
