Finishing operation

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-011062

1. The operation purchases feeder pigs from a feeder pig operation and feeds them to market weight at 240 to 260 lbs. Historically, producers purchased feeder pigs at auctions, but because of disease transmission concerns, most operations now bypass auctions and buy all of their animals from the same supplier.

2. Operations in which a finishing material is applied to a substrate and is subsequently air-dried, cured in an oven, or cured by radiation.

3. Collection of equipment used to finish a textile substrate including chemical finish applicator(s), flashoff area(s) and drying or curing oven(s).
