Although Sinergia downplays this as a âminor mistake,â it results in Sinergia receiving credit for helping millions of JBSâs pigs who were not impacted (i.e. JBS pigs who have their ears notched from 2023 to 2026)..[1] This is not a âminor mistake.â Further, Sinergia claims that this mistake has been corrected, but all that was fixed was changing the phrase âby 2023â to âin 2023â in Cell K10.[2]The impact calculations were not fixed, and still incorrectly credit Sinergia for helping millions of JBSâs pigs who were not impacted.[1]
The calculations have not been fixed as stated by VettedCauses. ACE is still giving credit to Sinergia from 2023 on instead of from 2027 on, justifying this with the note below. I think it would have been better for ACE to fix the calculations.
The second comment previously read âCommitted to banning ear notching by 2023â but was updated in March 2025. Because of this miscommunication, although it would have been ideal to apply discounts at both the ânumber of animals affectedâ and the âSADs averted per dollarâ levels, our SADs estimates were already conservative, and the magnitude of the change would not affect our decision to recommend Sinergia. Therefore, we have not refreshed the calculations for the number of animals impacted by the commitment.
