Correct answer

In 2014, the average slaughter weight has been 97.5 kg (214.6 lb). From 1977 to 2013 the federally inspected dressed slaughter weight has increased an average of 0.6 kg (1.3 lb) per year. In 2014 the increase was even larger due to the impact of PEDv on weaned piglet numbers and a large reduction in the feed cost per unit of gain.
