Agricultural nutrition and profitability management
Overview
Agricultural analyses indicate that nutritional management is a primary driver of profitability in both livestock and crop production. In swine production, experts highlight that success depends on balancing diets according to age, weight, and genetics, while managing feed intake and mortality rates. Effective management requires moving beyond simple ingredient changes to include dynamic nutritional formulas that account for animal behavior and specific farm data.
In crop production, data suggests that reducing fertilizer doses to lower costs can negatively impact gross margins. For example, in Argentina, increasing nitrogen application in early corn and increasing phosphate fertilization in soybean fields have been shown to significantly improve margins per hectare.
