How it works

All you need to use PigCHAMP Online is a special Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) that can access the remote servers that host your PigCHAMP Online database.

PigCHAMP will supply each user of PigCHAMP Online with this RDP for their Windows computer. This appears as an icon on the desktop. When you click the icon, it takes you to the PigCHAMP application.

Each individual user will have their own user name and password, so farm and data access can be controlled just like it is in the PigCHAMP desktop/server application.

PigCHAMP Online allows you to e-mail reports and other files, as well as print to your local or networked printers just as you would from your desktop program. Take a minute to review the short video on this page to see how easy it is to use PigCHAMP Online.

PigCHAMP’s Mobile offerings eliminates the need for writing down information in the barn and the re-entering that information into your PigCHAMP software program.  Accurate information is entered once in the barn and becomes easily available for analysis and reporting in the world’s most powerful production software.

Independent trials have shown that PigCHAMP Mobile decreased time for data entry between 15-30% resulting in savings averaging $1.45/sow/year over operating cost.

  • Data validation and ability to edit events at time of entry helps avoid costly mistakes and ensures data accuracy.
  • Simple data entry using the hand-held touch screen or device keypad.
  • Options to read standard RFID tags and bar codes for enhanced speed and accuracy.

Reproductive PigCHAMP

The Nurse Sow Wean event is used to create a Nurse Sow, meaning the entire litter on the sow is being weaned and that a completely new litter of piglets is being fostered on.

The gilts are those females that enter approximately 200 days of age, are ready to be served and belong to the Reproductive.

The Gilts Retained are those females that are not yet available for breeding purposes, are in an acclimatization period.

What is entered in the program by the event Boar Arrival will appear in that line of the report.

The report called “Sows due to farrow” identifies sows farrowing in the next 17 weeks according to the date of the report. The data it shows are based on the date of service and the length of gestation, as well as showing sows overdue.

When within the Semen Collection Event, no value is entered in the field called Dose, the program assumes that they will be unlimited doses.

The report called " Service Performance Summary " shows performance by boar, allows you to analyze the service information in detail and problems that affect service performance. It also identifies service-related areas where performance is prolific to repeat on other farms and / or for training purposes.

In the report called “Performance Analysis (by group)”. Only the final inventory part is enabled in the report properties and is grouped by genetics.

For versions later than 6.6.0, the program does not allow two shipments with the same number. of ticket.

The first replacements are those females that are not yet available for breeding purposes, are in an acclimatization stage and do not yet count in the Reproductive Herd

A piglet shipment can be used in the following situations:

-If a Weaning Shipment was created in the Reproductive Module in the same database, for example in farm A and it will be received in the Growth / Finish Module in farm B

-Create a weaning shipment from an external source that does not use PigCHAMP.

-Import a file of a user of the PigCHAMP program that is outside the database.

An Entry is made after a “Receive a Pig Shipment” event has been logged or when the farm has Farrow-Finish cycle.

The event is done within the Reproductive Module by "Sending of Weaning". There the program allows you to select a date range and view the sows that were weaned and their respective piglets to be sent to the Grow / Finish module.

Unit of measure can be changed as long as no information has been recorded. That is why it is important at the time of creating the farm to know in which unit of measurement the information will be captured, in kilos or pounds.

The “Feed Usage” report analyzes the general food consumption and costs associated with a period and the “Feed Delivery” Report provides a list of the feed that has been purchased for a period of time.
