BECAL

BECAL (The Boehringer Ingelheim Economic Calculator) was created in collaboration with industry experts to provide a convenient tool for the economic analysis of vaccination interventions. The tool evaluates preventative health measures by easily calculating return on investment and benefit-cost ratios based on your production data. BECAL enables effective and proactive planning to help you to shape the future of swine health.

Insights
Growth Valorisation Approach
The change observed is g per day
It represents kg per pig
€ per pig
A change in ADWG of g per day
In growth equals € per pig present
Increasing your growth with kg per day makes the vaccine profitable
FCR - Economic Approach
The change observed is kg per kg
It represents kg of feed per pig
€ per pig
A change of kg per kg
in FCR equals € per pig
Decreasing your FCR with kg per kg makes the vaccine profitable
Mortality
The change observed is % per group
It represents pigs per group
€ per pig present
A change of %
in loss equals € per pig present
Decreasing your mortality rate with % per group makes the vaccine profitable
