Four-year weighted averages for transport losses in U.S. market weight pigs*

Variable	Mean†	LCL‡	UCL||
Total dead$	0.26%	0.15%	0.37%
Dead on arrival	0.15%	0.07%	0.23%
Euthanized on arrival	0.05%	0.03%	0.07%
Dead in pen	0.05%	0.03%	0.08%
Non-ambulatory pigs¶	0.63%	0.53%	0.72%
Total losses**	0.88%	0.71%	1.05%

^*Based on 310,002,578 pigs at 20 U.S. processing facilities over 212 consecutive weeks of data collection.

^†Weighted average across the 20 U.S. processing facilities.

^‡Lower critical limit is 3 standard deviations below the mean.

^||Upper critical limit is 3 standard deviations above the mean.

^$Total dead = DOA + EOA + DIP.

^¶Non-ambulatory pigs were defined as a pig unable to move or keep up with the rest of the group from unloading to stunning.

^**Total losses = total dead + non-ambulatory pigs.
