Since the mid-50's of the past century in Galicia has evolved subsector pig until today where an average 1,220,000 slaughtered pigs with a production of 94,400 tonnes per year originate mainly from industrial exploitations 581 breeding and the 745 existing feedlots. The sector is in a complex process of adaptation to new market conditions characterized by an increase in production costs. This paper shows the results of the analysis of the production process of 33 pig exploitations bait selected randomly in 4 provinces of Galicia. The results are organized so that from the weight (Kg) and the average price per (�/Kg) of the animal priming and marketed analyzes all elements of the productive process (acquisition of piglet, food, animal health costs, costs of legal proceedings production facilities, costs of hand work) in terms of their influence on the performance end of it. It shows the different strategies exploitations classified according to their efficiency.
