This is the App page of ODMO program for Maximizing the revenue in pig farms.

In pig farming, optimal export time in the case of quickly changing market price is one of the key for success of farming. If export time is too early, the weights of pigs are not high to maximize the profit. On the other hand, if export time is too late, the cost of keeping and barn cost will increase while the pig weights increase insignificantly.
In this model, we follow a standard of pig farming in 24 weeks continually, and the data is given in the following table.

Week old Food type Food consumption (kg/day) Average pig weight (kg)
1 X1 0.06 6.5
2 X1 0.25 7.5
3 X2 0.38 10
4 X2 0.55 13
5 X3 0.65 16.5
6 X3 0.85 21
7 X3 1 26
8 X3 1.1 31
9 X3 1.2 36
10 X3 1.35 41
11 X3 1.5 46.5
12 X3 1.8 53
13 X3 1.9 59.5
14 X4 2 66
15 X4 2.15 72
16 X4 2.2 78
17 X4 2.25 84
18 X4 2.55 90
19 X4 2.7 96
20 X4 2.75 102
21 X4 2.85 108
22 X4 2.95 113
23 X4 3 118
24 X4 3 122

The revenue equation is expressed as
Revenue of pig farming = [money from selling pigs] - [input cost] - [barn cost] - [technology cost] - [other cost] - [food cost]


We assume that the input piglet price is 1.5 times higher than the export price. The technology cost is VND, and the barn cost is VND/week. According to export standard, all export pigs have to weight more than kg. Other parameters are given in the following image:
