OMAFA Swine Budgets

The swine budget provides a guide and format to estimate the cost of production and returns for a swine enterprise. Data is released monthly by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness (OMAFA) for Ontario pork producers. These cost estimates and assumptions are based on information obtained from a variety of industry sources, such as Grain Farmers of Ontario, feed companies and production managers. The tool includes the following for farrow to finish (dollars/pig): * estimated market hog value * feed costs * variable costs * fixed costs * total cost * net return It also includes the estimated accumulated cost for a market hog sold each month. Learn more about the OMAFA swine budget. Note: * These cost figures are not obtained from a survey. * The variation in production practices can cause a large variation in costs of production. Please allow for adjustments when interpreting and applying these figures to your swine production enterprise. * Individual farm figures will vary depending on your farm’s resources, management, production, financial arrangements, health status and size of the swine, and the market conditions and level of risk.
