1 Beef - Key performance indicators Mary Vickers
2 Today Suckler herd KPIs Update on new project Responses KPIs for finishing systems
3 What is a KPI? a business metric used to evaluate factors that are crucial to success KPIs differ between organizations used to track performance and identify strengths and weaknesses
4 Efficiency is about making the most of the resources on your farm
5 Production Efficiency Output as a proportion of the most limiting input area, animal numbers, kg, e.g. per cow to the bull Output Input
6 What gets measured gets managed We can measure lots of things but what is important and useful? Data Information Knowledge Wisdom Doing things right Doing the right things
7 Performance Indicators Year on year Similar production systems Identify issues in the herd Track individual animals Develop a farm plan Challenge staff & advisers Motivational
8 Suckler herd KPIs Stocktake Calves born alive per 100 cows & heifers put to the bull 87 Calves weaned per 100 cows & heifers put to the bull 84 Calving period first to last calf (weeks) 17.2 % of cows and heifers calving in first 3 weeks day calf weight per cow & heifer put to bull (kg) 226
9 Suckler herd KPIs Stocktake Target Calves born alive per 100 cows & heifers put to the bull Calves weaned per 100 cows & heifers put to the bull 87 >95 84 >94 Calving period 17.2 <12 % of cows and heifers calving in first 3 weeks 29 >65% 200 day calf weight per cow & heifer put to bull (kg) 226
10 Beef KPI calculator Herd1 Herd2 Target Explains how to use records to calculate KPIs
11 Definitions of records & performance indicators Defn of records & perf indicators
12 Beef KPI project Response to R&D tender during 2015 University of Nottingham Starts Oct year project, linked to studentship
13 Beef KPI project - Aims 1. Coordination of a technical advisory group 2. Collation of historic data from project farms and calculation of new and existing KPI s 3. Assessment of trends over time in the historic data and comparisons between systems
14 Beef KPI project - Aims 4. Evaluation of correlations within the data and relationships between KPI s and overall farm performance 5. Appraisal of farmer attitudes to data recording and performance monitoring 6. Maximise knowledge exchange to ensure that results have maximum impact on industry practice
15 Studentship add on To use advanced stochastic sensitivity analyses to further explore and define KPIs in relation to farm success Modelling impact of different management factors on financial success across a range of systems Explore potential to develop a decision support tool
16 Data analysis Looking at historic data Trends over time, related to changes in management, within a season, between herds Within herd variation Explore correlations between KPIs and financial performance (Stocktake) Case studies
17 Farmer attitudes Farmer attitudes to data recording and performance monitoring Telephone survey Identify barriers Exploration of use of technology to facilitate data capture
18 Grower/finisher Performance indicators Feed use kg feed per kg gain of feed per kg gain Area use kg gain per shed area kg gain per hectare Apply indicators to: Pens Batches Breeds
19 Finishing KPIs (overseas) Days on feed Stocking rate Weight gain Carcase weight & grade Saleable meat yield Mortality o Feed costs as % total expenses o Labour + management expense as % total revenue
20 Which feed KPI? A. Feed conversion ratio B. Daily liveweight gain C. Concentrate usage per head D. Days on feed E. Dry matter intake F. Finishing ability off grass Feed conversion ratio 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% Daily liveweight gain Concentrate usage per head Days on feed Dry matter intake Finishing ability off grass
