A descriptive and analytical methodology was used, adopting a qualitative approach, which covers aspects such as the relevance of pig feeding, the different feeding systems (wet-dry, liquid, precision, automatic and electrical), sanitary management, environmental conditions and economic variability. The results obtained showed that the implementation of automated feeding systems significantly improves feed conversion and reduces feed waste, positively impacting the profitability of farms. Therefore, proper management with controlled temperatures between 18°C and 24°C, good ventilation and low animal density (<0.8 m²/pig), favored greater efficiency in feed conversion and better weight gain. Since it was observed that feed consumption determined between 225 and 268 kg per pig during the fattening phase is the most expensive component of the production process, representing up to 85% of the total. Daily weight gain ranges between 634 g and 945 g, being influenced by factors such as genetics, food quality and environmental conditions. Feed conversion remained in optimal ranges, between 2.24 and 2.74 kg of feed per-kg of weight gained, with an ideal ratio of up to 2.5:1 in well-managed systems. It is concluded that the adoption of advanced technologies in pig feeding is key to optimizing production in Ecuador, although its implementation faces limitations due to high initial costs, which is equivalent to approximately $180 - $212 per fattened pig up to 100-110 kg of live weight. So much so that efficient management of infrastructure, biosecurity and nutrition also contribute to improving the sustainability and competitiveness of the pork sector. |
