Do you know how your sow performance stacks up against others using
conventional crates or group sow management? Would you like to
accurately evaluate and compare your performance and profitability with
other sow farms? Here at Osborne, we realize that you may not have
enough time to answer these questions without help. To solve this
problem, Osborne Industries has teamed up with Swine
Management Services (SMS) to make a special offer to you and all
Osborne TEAM™ users.
This special offer provides reduced cost participation in the SMS
program called Swine Smart.™ This program was created by SMS to
help improve the competitive position of its users. Production
analysis and evaluations with Swine Smart help you to recognize
opportunities for performance improvement. The program identifies
strengths and weaknesses in production methods and sow management. Farm
benchmarking with Swine Smart gives you a very accurate picture of
your management programs using a set of critical Key Performance
Indicators (KPI's). With this information and SMS knowledge, you
know exactly how you compare and how you can take the most critically
useful and profitable steps toward improvement.
SMS is a leading supplier of information solutions to the swine
industry with over 30 years of experience in the use of sow production
information. Located in
Fremont, Nebraska, SMS processes data for over 85,000 sows each week.

Industries is cooperating with SMS to offer you the Swine Smart program
at a reduced rate. This special offer is open only to Osborne TEAM customers. Sign up now for monthly or quarterly reporting and
