Presentation

Since the 1990s, the BDporc information system has been a platform that collects and analyzes technical and productive data from pig breeding farms. BDporc provides member companies with results and benchmarking information to help them in their decision making processes. In turn, it provides administrations and sectoral associations with information on reference technical-productive data on the pig sector.

The BDporc information system is managed by IRTA with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and ANPROGAPOR.

Since 2012, the Spanish Iberian Swine Database (BDporc Ibérico) has also been incorporated. Nowadays, the White Pig BDporc and the Iberian BDporc host the data of almost one million animals, which represents more than 50% of the national census of sows. Since 2015, BDporc also manages data from Portugal and Colombia, through agreements between IRTA and their respective associations at the national level.

BDporc has been, throughout its almost 30 years of history, the main platform for the evaluation of the different technical aspects of swine production and for carrying out various research projects for the sector. Besides the productive information for technical-economic management that is received automatically from the different farm management programs, BDporc also houses a large amount of information collected through characterization questionnaires or evaluation visits, related to health, animal welfare, biosecurity measures, environmental impact, facilities and other management aspects. The possibilities offered by BDporc for studies on nutrition, genetics or animal health and their productive impact are innumerable.

Studies and publications

BDporc allows pig companies to know and evaluate the relative situation of their farms in relation to industry benchmarks. Moreover, in addition to the reports sent quarterly, BDporc provides the member companies with an
private area
 (intranet) with access to all the historical and updated information of the member’s farms. In the intranet part there are visualization tools for the automatic analysis of the data of the company and its farms and the systematic comparison with the values of the desired reference groups.

Last but not least, the best pig farms receive their recognition at the annual edition of the Porc d’Or Awards, consolidated as events of great importance for the Pig Sector and its image. Participating in the Porc d’Or Awards represents the visualization of the company, an unique opportunity for farms to be recognized among the best within their category at a national level.

The Porc d’Or awards are an event to meet the professionals of the sector with the primary purpose of recognizing the effort, dedication and passion of the best farmers! The Porc d’Or white pig Awards were created in 1994 and in 2017 the Porc d’Or Iberian pig Awards.

Awards
