Farm Efficiency/Production Efficiency - dami ng pagkaing nagastos sa loob ng farm katumbas ng kilong karneng ibebenta. Kabilang sa pagkaing nagastos ay ang mga sumusunod: pagkain kinakain ng baboy, natatapon sa pagpapakain, nahuhugasan sa paglilinis, natatapon sa bodega, nananakaw, etc.... ito ay masusukat sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng dami/timbang ng pagkaing naipasok sa loob ng babuyan sa panahong pagsusukat katumbas sa timbang ng baboy na naibenta sa panahon din pagsukat...
