Niche Pork Can be a marketing
attempt to capture retail dollar?
![Page 6: Dave Stender - Find the Edge for Successful Niche Production](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480c27cb4af9fd3158b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Market Potential is There
• A portion of consumers are willing to pay more for certain attributes such as:– Great eating quality– Organic or natural– Environmentally– Certified, farmer owned etc.

130 lb of meat sold at average retail price ~ $3.50/lb = $455

Looking for the Advantage
• Market premium • Feed cost• Non-feed cost • Health
![Page 16: Dave Stender - Find the Edge for Successful Niche Production](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480c27cb4af9fd3158b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Use Less feed
• Genetics• Diet
– Formulation (energy, amino acids)– Diet form (pellet vs meal, particle
size)
• Sow feeding• Wastage• Air Quality• Handling• Market weight/sorting• Yield – fiber• Health

Minimum level of productivity needed ---
relative to non-feed cost level.
• In niche herds non-feed cost is driven by total production target output relative to herd cost structure.
• In niche herds $50 to $70/head non-feed cost goal. Amounts to ~$20/cwt
![Page 24: Dave Stender - Find the Edge for Successful Niche Production](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5480c27cb4af9fd3158b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Healthy Pigs – less feed• Clean stock• Extra care at market assess point
– Boots, hands, pickup, cab, and trailer must stay clean so pathogens are not hauled home
• Batch farrow• Tail end pigs moved off site• Same breeding stock four to eight parities• Clean out grow finish pigs - summer
