A new method for monitoring productivity in the slaughter-pig production unit has been developed. The method is implemented as a stand-alone application, based on data from an existing farm-management system. With the new method, the information on productivity increases from quarterly to weekly estimates of daily gain. A time series is made by calculating average daily gain each time a group of slaughter-pigs is delivered to the slaughterhouse. Among other features, the application allows the user to monitor the time series graphically. Because of random fluctuation in the estimates, the user may choose to smooth the graph by means of a Kalman filter technique.
