EUROPE: 2012, a leap year; 2013 a turning point

After 12 years publishing RotecnaWorld as a magazine, we are changing and renewing the concept to convert it into a news bulletin, a more dynamic and agile means of communication, adapted better to the demands of our similarly changing readership.

From now on, RotecnaWorld will appear 3 or 4 times a year, so we are widening the information and more importantly, this will be more valid and/or up-to-date.

Precisely this year, in Europe, the news related to the sector is moving rapidly towards an important crossroads. Just over eight months from now, the new European legislation on animal welfare comes into force and we will see its effect on the non-EU markets, costs and competitiveness. At the moment, and despite the many requests for a moratorium from the associations representing livestock breeders, Brussels has refused all appeals to delay the date for applying the Animal Welfare legislation throughout the EU. Many farmers still have to make up their minds: whether to adapt and continue or close down. Those in the livestock business who have yet to decide what to do with their farms or which system to choose are at a disadvantage. If you are sure that your business lies with pig production, the best thing to do is to take a brave decision and adapt to the legislation as soon as possible.

Many have done so. Although it is true that the vast majority have complied because the legislation on new or extended farms gives them no other choice than to take these requirements for animal welfare into account. But now they have an advantage. Their farms are up to date and they have found the path back to the required profitability and productivity.

Europe has a great deal to teach the United States about animal welfare. And now the great McDonalds has asked its North American pig meat suppliers to abandon sow crates. Given the company’s power, the sector leaders, like Smithfield or Cargill, have already come out in favour of this change. Who would dare to say “no” to this giant of the fast food sector?

ROTECNANEWS Rotecna on YouTube On YouTube you can also find channels dedicated exclusively to the pig world.

Rotecna is now on the Technology Channel with a series of presentation videos that show the technical advances of our products and that are also for use on the farm. This is just to start with as we are aiming to use this channel to communicate with farmers directly, easily and instructively. And if a picture is worth a thousands words, how much is a video worth?

The Christmas season and the end of the year find Rotecna involved in a very special event: the award of the “The Most Popular” prizes. Such aspects as teamwork, enthusiasm, effort and solidarity are recognised by Rotecna’s workers, when they vote for their colleagues for this prize. There is one per department and this year’s winners are Harouna Adama Sarr from the assembly section, Ebrima Jobarteh in the injection section and Asun Martín from the Despatch department. The awards were collected by the respective section heads.

The award is one night in a hotel for two people with entry for the Caldea spa in Andorra. There is a novelty this year. All the prizewinners enter a draw for one night in the Margarita Bonita Suite in the Hotel Llegendes de Girona Catedral.

This year’s lucky winner is Asun

Martín who, with her husband Manolo, will be able to enjoy (possibly for the first time) c o s m i c orgasms. It’s clear that she will spend an unforgetable night in the Margarita Bonita Suite and go back to work with a wide smile that will be the envy of her workmates.

The awards were presented at the traditional Christmas party for all the workers in Rotecna. In his speech at the event, the company president, Gener Romeu, emphasised his optimism for 2012, given the good perspectives. The company has several new products about to be launched and improvements have been made to optimise productivity.

On the other hand, Amable Izquierdo, Rotecna’s manager, highlighted the teamwork and the joint efforts to overcome the crisis.

Margarita Bonita Suite in the Hotel Llegendes de Girona Catedral The Margarita Bonita Suite is a room especially designed for

romantic breaks. The Suite is equipped with a Movement Bed, the onkly one in the world that moves with the rhythm of the body while making love, and a Neotantra Sofa, a magnificent sofa whose shape helps the couple to adopt all the imaginable postures. The decoration includes curtains that light up and let the intensity and colour of the light to be adjusted and a set of mirrors, among other details. Apart from the furniture, the Suite offers the guestsan erotic welcome pack made up of two Love Pillows to make any position more comfortable, a feather duster, a mask and satin ribbons. All to make a perfect night to share in company (www.margaritabonita.com).

SOMETHINGABOUT...

SAINT JOHN’S EVE

One of the festivals most looked forward to in Catalonia takes place on Saint John’s Eve, June 23rd, a celebration loaded with magic and tradition.

The roots of the celebration of Saint John’s night are lost in the mists of time. It is said that our ancestors believed the Sun to be in love with the Earth and was loathe to abandon it. That is why, in the Northern Hemisphere, people began to woo each other around the last night of spring, the shortest night of the year. Later, the celebration became linked to the superstition that it was the ideal day to chase away bad spirits and make spells of love and fertility. With the coming of Christianity, the celebration was maintained but made to coincide with the birth of Saint John. From medieval times the day was commemorated with the lighting of great bonfires and other rituals that included the sign of the cross.

This tradition has reached our days full of mysticism and tradition. Although especially deeply rooted in Spain and Portugal, it is also

2

celebrated in Scandinavian countries, the United Kingdom and widely in Latin America, included Brazil, Bolivia, Chile or Peru. In the specific case of Catalonia, “La revetlla de Sant Joan” is marked by bonfires in the streets and festivals with music and dance. The custom of leaping over a bonfire on Saint John’s Eve comes from an old, very widespread, belief that fire has therapeutic properties on these days and brings good luck.

These rituals vary from place to place. In some villages you have to jump over the fire up to seven times, while in others, you have to do it arm in arm with the loved one to cement the relationship. Fireworks are set off, children throw bangers and play with sparklers. It is typical to eat Coca de Sant Joan, a cake made with flour, pine nuts and candied fruit, washed down with Cava, the Catalan sparkling wine.

An alternative to these celebrations is the festival of the Falles in Isil, like many others in the throughout the Pyrenees, also held for Saint John’s Eve. It kicks off with making of the falles (tall poles at the centre of a bonfire) a month before, with the great falla set up in the square in Isil. Then, on the night, young men carry burning fallas down the steep slopes from the peak of El Faro. When they reach the village, they are met by the girls with three ritual presents, and then they all go to cemetery and after end up with traditional dances.

FUTURENEWS

Outlook for the European pig sector until 2020 The European Union’s General Office of Agriculture has analysed aspects of the development of the pig sector for the next decade.

Pork will still be the most eaten meat in 2020, according to the forecast by the European Union’s Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural Development, at 41.6 kilograms per capita. This is only one of the conclusions from a wide study by the DG about the outlook for the pig sector in Europe. Raw material prices and harvests, markets, globalisation, leading world powers, etc, are some of the many aspects that affect this sector and its future. Given this situation, which has recently been very volatile, the DG presents its midterm European forecasts.

With the abrupt rise in feed prices in the summer of 2010 and its effect on producers’ profits, pig meat prices plummeted in the second half of 2010 and remained at the same level until the beginning of 2011.

According to the DG, this serious situation was worsened with the dioxin incident in Germany and forced the Commission to use private storage to help stabilise prices for three weeks in February 2011. The result has been a more concentration in the sector and structural changes.

Pig meat prices recovered in the spring of 2011 and remained at

World demand for pork meat is expected to rise, a positive aspect for the sector.

about 1,550 €/t over the summer and early autumn. Although piglet prices stayed lower for most of the year, signs of a recovery appeared towards the end. Higher prices and profitability led to a rise in meat production in the EU. EU exports grew by a considerable 20% in the first part of 2011 thanks to demand from Russia and traditional markets in the Far East.

During the 2010-2020 period, per capita consumption of pig meat is expected to rise by 0.9%, to reach 41.6 kilograms in 2020. And even greater growth is expected in the EU-12 (the member states prior to the 1st of May 2004). Global consumption of pig meat is expected to rise by 3.4%; 4.2% for the EU-15 (the member states after the 1st of May 2004) and 0.6% for the EU-12.

These forecast demands are expected to guide the EU production, which is believed will rise by 3.6% between 2010 and 2020, reaching 23.4 million tonnes at the end of this period.

The strong world demand for pigs during 2011 is expected to persist over the coming decade. Global consumption is forecast to grow by 8.9%, which implies a potential for exports from the EU. In fact, pig meat exports in 2020 will be 5%

above the level for 2010. However, after reaching a peak in 2013, a downward tendency is expected for the rest of the period until 2020 because of a strengthening of the Euro, which will affect the competitiveness of European exports, especially to the Far East.

The outlook is for exports to decrease considerably because of increasing competition from other exporters such, as Brazil, and the policies adopted by other importers, including China and Russia, to make them more self-sufficient.

These European forecasts highlight the influence of the special situation of China, whose GDP is expected to fall. This has grown at an average annual rate of 11.5% over the last five years, but the government plans to reduce this to 7% per annum. This could imply a drop in domestic demand and thus the search for export markets for its domestic production. In the case of the pig sector, the EU report states that this is unlikely to have a large effect as everything indicates that feed prices will be lower in Europe by 2.1% and the net profit margin higher by 0.4% in 2020.

Despite these optimistic forecasts, the DG has omitted one of the factors that could lead to changes

in these figures, namely cereal harvests, as they may imply greater or lower animal feed costs, not only for the size of the harvest but also its end use in some cases. For

The strong world demand for pigs during 2011 is expected to persist over the coming decade. Global consumption is forecast to grow by 8.9%, which implies a potential for exports from the EU. example, in the case of maize, a higher price per ton could mean a variability of up to 4% in the prices of pork meat, as it is one of the prime raw materials for feed production in the sector.

NOTE: These forecasts and analyses are based on the economic models available from the European Commission and the Joint Research Centre- Institute for Perspective Technological Studies (JRCIPTS). The report uses information available at the end of September 2011, except for macro-economic questions where the information is from November 2011.

Changes in legislation proposed or adopted since these dates have not been taken into consideration.

feeder for finisher 6 reasons for a better choice Developing the new feeder with 2 outlets our technicians and engineers of the I+D department have taken into consideration the great success of the dry feeders for weaners TR4 and TR5 (with 4 and 5 outlets).

TR2 feeder with 2 outlets corresponds to the new concept of dry feeders for finishers.

With this new feeder Rotecna would like to offer the best option for the production phase of fattening to the farmer as due to its improved technical features the feeder has a lot of advantages in comparison with the similar products available in the market.

The 6 reasons for a better choice:

TECHNICAL DATA:

2.

1.

Easy access for 2 big animals at the same time.

The V-shaped design of the feeding outlets makes the access more comfortable, allowing two big pigs to eat at the same time without problems.

60 cm

Easy adjustment even if the feeder is full (sandwich slidegate).

The exclusive design of the slidegate allows the feeder to be adjusted when it is full of feed. the so-called “sandwich” system means that the shutter does not have any pressure of the feed.

3.

Better durability in optimum conditions totally made of plastic (high-density polypropylene) and stainless steel, that makes the feeder very resistant to wearing out from use by the animals and corrosive and oxidising agents (feed and water) for a long time.

Hygiene and disinfection.

The absence of corners and the design of the feet on the base of the feeder make it easier for the farmer to clean and disinfect it.

The lack of porosity in the material maintains hygiene and guarantees better disinfection.

TECHNOLOGY ROTECNA has launched a line of hydraulic heated panels designed to maintain a constant temperature, minimising the temperature spikes. The company has developed three new models: 1200x400mm, 1200x500mm and 1200x600mm, which allow various combinations depending on the size of the pens and the farmer’s needs, to create a very comfortable microclimate for farrowing, weaning and wean to finish*.

THE NOVELTY

TECHNICAL DATA: The new hydraulic panels work as heat accumulators. The water in the heating circuit heats the water inside the panel (through a metal pipe inside the panel), thus generating thermal inertia. It is this inertia that maintains a constant temperature on the surface of the panel, thus avoiding temperature peaks. This way, the heat is distributed evenly all over the panel.

Rotecna’s advances applied to the three new heated panels, together with the tools for installing them, ensure optimum performance.

Previously, the panels worked well as long as they were at the right pressure and temperature. However, this was not always achieved. So Rotecna has developed these more practical new models, much easier to use, as you do not need to worry about the pressure or temperature spikes.

The design of their internal circuit has the added advantage that their working does not affect other panels, as each one is independent.

This guarantees their functionality.

directly to the heating circuit, so their working only depends on the farm’s conventional heating installation. Thus, on one hand, they are regulated through the standard heating installation, and on the other, any incident will only have one origin. This is important as it means that any malfunction will be easier to locate.

CHARACTERISTICS Outstanding among the characteristics of these new panels is their ease of filling through the upper part of the panel, with its

ADVANTAGES • Very long panels: 1200 mm.

• Three different widths: 400, 500 y 600 mm.

• The range of sizes makes them more versatile.

• Easier installation.

“non-air” stopper. Furthermore, the pipe joints are 15 mm and the panel’s central body is not fixed at the sides, which allows it to expand when hot.

On the other hand, the very robust design has also taken into consideration that the bottom is mounted with insulation to minimise heat losses. It also has the “out-dirt” support that prevents dirt from accumulating and thus makes it easier to clean. The surface of the panel has a special anti-slip tread that gives good grip and greater comfort as a rest area for the piglets.

The three versions, 1200mm long and 400, 500 and 600 mm wide, make many combinations possible.

Their greater length offers the possibility of a single panel covering more space. This means savings in the installation and connections between panels, as one is enough for standard places for sows. The width allows various possibilities, according to the specific needs of each installation and weaning and wean-to-finish* pens.

The new Rotecna hydraulic panel, in its three sizes, is a sure bet for a more comfortable microclimate for the animals.

EASY “NON-AIR” STOPPER FILLING SYSTEM The internal tank is easy to fill through the wide upper hole and the “non-air” system prevents air pockets from forming inside it.

• Constant temperature over all the panel.

• High efficiency: thermal inertia.

• Lower thermal insulation.

• Compatible with all heating circuits.

• Very robust.

• Non-slip tread.

• Easy to clean, hygienic.

SPECIAL “OUT-DIRT” SUPPORT DESIGN The special design of the easy to install “out-dirt” panel support makes it much more hygienic as it prevents a build-up of dirt. It comes as a four-part kit.

PIGPRODUCTIONIN...

EUROPE: 2012, a leap year; 2013 a turning point.

The sector will undergo more changes in 2013.

Are we ready?

2012, a key year for Spanish pig production. Nine months from the definitive application of the animal welfare regulations throughout the European Union without moratoriums.

The Spanish livestock numbers may decrease with the animal welfare legislation.

Panorama According to the Interpig 2010 report, the profit margin on pig production (sales price minus production costs) for 2010 for the major European producers was €0.13/kilo liveweight in Germany, 9 in Holland, 8 in France, 4 in Denmark and 2 in Spain.

only three states had notified full implementation of the animal welfare measures for sows.

Interpig 2010 compared the production costs for all the European Union countries, and mentions that Spain has a point in its favour: the fixed costs are substantially lower. Compared with four of our main competitors – Denmark, France, Germany and Holland- the difference is €0.14 – 0.15. However, the situation is the other way round when we compare feed costs (€0.7 higher) or the productivity of the sows, although to a lesser extent.

Changes in sight There are no official figures about the percentage of farms that already comply with the European regulations. In January, the commissioner John Dalli explained that only three states had notified full implementation of the animal welfare measures for sows, these being The United Kingdom, Sweden and Luxemburg. The commissioner

6

was also asked what would happen on the 1st of January 2013 with those farms that had not been adapted to the legislation and what measures would be taken. Dalli responded that the Commission is working with the 23 corresponding member states to enforce the legislation. “In case an FVO inspection provides sufficient evidence to demonstrate that a Member State systematically breaches European Union legislation, an infringement procedure can be launched by the Commission on the basis of Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.”

In France and Germany, for example, the average number of animals per farm is between 175 and 190. In the case of Spain, farms have an average of 1,050. This means that the cost of adapting the installations to the new laws must be higher for Spanish farms, and the projects will tend to be somewhat more complex, or at least, more technical, due to the size of the farms. There is a lot still to do and despite being a leap year, 2012 will seem short. The COAG (Coordinator of Farmers’ Organisations) calculates that some 75,000 Spanish pig farms will have to be adapted at a cost of €700 million.

The latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture (May 2011) indicates that there were slightly more than 23 million animals, 6.7 millions of which were piglets and 5.3 million, weaning pigs. These are the figures that we must compared to see any changes in the census in 2013. But slaughter numbers will also vary,

Spanish piglet production for next year if we bear in mind that some farms could close or reduce the number of sows if they are unable to expand the farrowing pens.

and according to the European Commission data, Spain consolidated its second position in Europe in 2011 with a growth of 4.6%. A total of 40.2 million animals were slaughtered in Spain. The number of pigs slaughtered in Germany, the undisputed leader, was 59.2 million, a rise of 2%.

It must be taken into consideration that if the number of pigs falls in such areas as Spain, Holland or Germany, which depend on exports to South-east Asia or Eastern Europe, the latter countries will become more self-sufficient and their demand for imports will drop.

Challenges for the future Things can always work out better.

With this in mind, the Spanish pig sector has a way to go. Naturally, the challenges for the (near) future cannot ignore the great change

Regarding the price of feed, another of the sector’s assets, the forecasts

that full application of the animal welfare legislation implies.

For this leap forward, the producers must make the transition to the new system with a lot of training and information and taking care of all the details. Although many have already adapted to the rules, there are many who still have to start and some time is always needed for full and efficient implementation, while maintaining productivity and profitability. This could reduce

Changes in sight

McDonald’s against gestation stalls On 13th February, the multinational McDonald’s published a press note announcing that it would ask its pork suppliers in the USA to phase out sow crates. The hamburger company wants to take action together with the The Humane Society of the United Status (HSUS).

“McDonald’s believes gestation stalls are not a sustainable production system for the future,” Dan Gorsky, senior vice president for supply chain management for McDonald’s North America, said “There are alternatives we think are better for the welfare of sows.”

“McDonald’s wants to see the end of sow confinement in gestation stalls in our supply chain. We are beginning an assessment with our U.S. suppliers to determine how to build on the work already underway to reach that goal. In May, after receiving our suppliers’ plans, we’ll share results from the assessment and our next steps.”

Yes, changes in sight. But in such a dynamic sector as the pork industry, there have always been changes, and most of these have meant a step forward for the sector, although for some farmers

However, there is a very clear incentive for the future: the world will keep on wanting meat to feed itself. these were, or are, steps backwards.

However, there is a very clear incentive for the future: the world will keep on wanting meat to feed itself.

In an article about pig production in 2030 published in Pig Progress in February, the Brazilian consultant, Luciano Roppa states that, by then, the world’s population will have risen by 1.4 thousand million from the current 7 billion. While the average annual per capita consumption of pork was 107.9 kilos in 2010, this is expected to rise to 136.1 by 2030.

Roppa also mentions that the greatest demand for meat will be found in Asia and Africa, so these are the continents where the number of farms will grow most, in such countries as The Philippines.

Roppa says that the average number of piglets per sow will have climbed to 35 (in comparison with an estimated 28 in 2010); the daily weight gain will increase from 800 grams to 900-1,000; and the conversion rate from 2.4:1 to 2.6:1. Regarding the meat itself, he comments that by 2030, the changes will be aimed at making a cheaper product with less fat.

While chicken will be the leading source of protein at 38.6% (34.4% in 2010), pork meat will continue in second place with 34.2% of consumption, 3.2% less than in 2010. To complete the panorama, beef will have a quota of 21%, 1.7% less than in 2010.

“The HSUS has been a long-time advocate for ending the use of gestation crates, and McDonald’s announcement is important and promising,” said Wayne Pacelle, The HSUS’ president and CEO. “All animals deserve humane treatment, including farm animals, and it’s just wrong to immobilize animals for their whole lives in crates barely larger than their bodies.”

McDonald’s actions are backed by leading independent animalwelfare experts, including renowned scientist Dr. Temple Grandin.

“Moving from gestation stalls to better alternatives will improve the welfare of sows and I’m pleased to see McDonald’s working with its suppliers toward that end. It takes a thorough plan to address the training of animal handlers, proper feeding systems, and the significant financial investment and logistics involved with such a big change. I’m optimistic about this announcement,” said Dr. Grandin.

Gorsky added, “We are pleased to see a number of our U.S. suppliers adopting commercially-viable alternatives. For example, Smithfield Foods and Cargill have made significant progress in this area. We applaud these, and future, efforts.”

the greatest demand for meat will be found in Asia and Africa, so these are the continents where the number of farms will grow most.

These are the forecasts, what is expected, the overall averages. But the global cannot always be extrapolated locally. There are many variables that can exert an influence. There is only one invariable: the desire to succeed.
