The Pork Checkoff announced new and improved tools to assist pork producers in evaluating the financial impact of sow housing choices, improving workplace safety, reducing their environmental footprint and identifying problems within breeding stock. 豬肉基金會(huì)宣布了一項(xiàng)新式，改進(jìn)的工具幫助豬肉生產(chǎn)商評(píng)估豬舍選擇的經(jīng)濟(jì)效應(yīng)，減少環(huán)境污染和育種的相關(guān)問題。
Sow Housing Calculator 豬舍計(jì)算
A new Sow Housing Calculator will assist producers in making important decisions about remodeling or other facility or management choices on the farm. 當(dāng)生產(chǎn)商在制定改建或其他農(nóng)場(chǎng)管理選擇的重大決策時(shí)，一項(xiàng)新的豬舍計(jì)算器能幫助他們。
Created in the context of remodeling sow barns, this new calculator can also be used to model the financial impact of any management or facility choices to a sow farm, including: 建立在改建豬舍的內(nèi)容上，這個(gè)計(jì)算器也能用來模擬任何管理項(xiàng)目或設(shè)備選擇的經(jīng)濟(jì)效應(yīng)，包括：
· Changes in nutrition
營(yíng)養(yǎng)變化
· Changes in herd size
豬群規(guī)模變化
· Remodeling or replacing housing choices
改建或重新選址
Once the data is added, the calculator generates a report of the needed cash flow and cost per pig information that may be required by a lender. 一旦輸入數(shù)據(jù)，計(jì)算機(jī)能生成貸款人所需的現(xiàn)金流動(dòng)和每頭豬的成本信息。
"Pork producers have many options available to them, each with its own cost and benefit," says Chris Novak, National Pork Board CEO. "The new Sow Housing Calculator will help producers look at the facility and management choices that are best for them and the pigs in their care." “豬肉生產(chǎn)商有許多可用的選擇，每一個(gè)都有它自己的成本和利益” 全國(guó)豬肉委員會(huì)的CEO Chris Novak說“新的豬舍計(jì)算機(jī)能幫助生產(chǎn)商查看為他們和他們的豬提供的最好設(shè)備和管理項(xiàng)目。”
The Sow Housing Calculator is available free of charge to producers and can be found online at pork.org. 豬舍計(jì)算器對(duì)于生產(chǎn)商來說是實(shí)用的，免費(fèi)的，它可在pork.org.查找到。 Benchmarking Workplace Safety 基準(zhǔn)測(cè)試工作點(diǎn)安全性
A new website to provide reliable methods of benchmarking workplace safety is being developed by the Pork Checkoff to track and compare workplace safety data across farm systems and between peer companies. 新的網(wǎng)站支持了可靠的基準(zhǔn)車間安全方法，它由Pork Checkoff公司研發(fā)，追蹤對(duì)比整個(gè)農(nóng)場(chǎng)系統(tǒng)以及同行業(yè)公司的工作點(diǎn)安全性。
"You cannot improve what you cannot measure. This new benchmarking system will provide producers quantifiable indicators that will allow them to compare workplace safety on their farms with others in the industry. More importantly, producers can use this benchmarking tool to evaluate various actions that can reduce future accidents and injuries," Novak says. "With strong participation from the industry, we will be able to measure the improvements that we make over time as we work together to reduce the most common injuries on our hog farms." “你不能改善您所沒有測(cè)量到的東西。這個(gè)最新的基礎(chǔ)測(cè)試系統(tǒng)能提供給生產(chǎn)者可量化的指標(biāo)，并允許本農(nóng)場(chǎng)和同行業(yè)的其他公司對(duì)比他們的工作點(diǎn)安全性。更重要的是，生產(chǎn)者能使用這個(gè)基準(zhǔn)工具評(píng)估各種能減少未來事故和傷害的行為?！?Novak說“有了行業(yè)的強(qiáng)大支持，當(dāng)我們一起致力于減少我們豬場(chǎng)最常見的損害時(shí)，我們能評(píng)定我們隨時(shí)所做的改進(jìn)情況。
"Our industry has adopted a set of ethical principle that includes our commitment to enhancing workplace safety for our families and employees. Improving workplace safety can reduce costs and improve performance, but most importantly, it is the right thing for us to do." “我們的行業(yè)采用了一定的道德原則，包括為我們的家庭和員工提供我們?cè)鰪?qiáng)工作點(diǎn)安全性的承諾。改善工作點(diǎn)的安全性能減少成本，改善性能，但是最重要的是，它是我們所做的一件正確的事?！?/strong>
The Benchmarking Workplace Safety system will be available June 17 and may be accessed via pork.org. 基準(zhǔn)測(cè)試工作點(diǎn)安全性系統(tǒng)將于6月17日正式發(fā)布，可以在pork.org網(wǎng)站訪問。 Environmental Footprint Calculator 環(huán)境足跡計(jì)算器
A second-generation environmental impact calculator is now available to producers. This new calculators expands the existing Live Swine Carbon Footprint Calculator by allowing producers to calculate their water footprint. The Pig Production Environmental Footprint Calculator version 2.0 is available by calling the Pork Checkoff Service Center at 800-456-7675. 現(xiàn)在第二代環(huán)境影響計(jì)算器也被生產(chǎn)者有效使用。這個(gè)新式計(jì)算器擴(kuò)展了生豬碳跡計(jì)算器（Live Swine Carbon Footprint ），允許生產(chǎn)者計(jì)算她們的水資源使用情況。要得到養(yǎng)豬環(huán)境足跡計(jì)算器2.0版本（ Pig Production Environmental Footprint Calculator version 2.0 ），請(qǐng)給Pork Checkoff中心打電話，號(hào)碼：800-456-7675。 National Swine Reproduction Guide 全國(guó)豬繁殖指導(dǎo)
Just released by the U.S. Pork Center of Excellence, the Swine Reproduction Guide is an analytical tool that provides producers with a decision-tree for identifying breeding problems within gilts, sows and boars. The web-based guide will be available online through Iowa State University Extension and at pork.org. 剛由美國(guó)卓越豬肉中心發(fā)布的繁殖指導(dǎo)手冊(cè)是一個(gè)分析工具，它給養(yǎng)殖人提供了一個(gè)確定小母豬、母豬和公豬的的育種問題決策樹。在線指導(dǎo)網(wǎng)站請(qǐng)?jiān)L問愛荷華州大學(xué)和pork.org網(wǎng)站。
