MORE FROM ASSERVA 924 sows 21 rows of 44 sows static feed THE MULTIFEEDER AND EXAMAT RANGES THE MATERNEO RANGE A solution for automated management of farrowing sows: from monitoring silo supplies to alerts when farrowing is taking place, and including feed management. • It can dispense 2 different kinds of feed. NEW FACILITIES 315 sows 7 rows of 45 sows I like the idea because it means I don’t need several machines. With self-service feeding, rotation is faster, meaning less waiting and less competition between animals. Once in the feeding stall, a door closes and the animal can feed undisturbed. It gives farmers great flexibility: additional feeding stalls can be fitted without changing the rest of the system, and without breaking the bank. RESEARCH DEPARTMENT Asserva designs, develops, and manufactures every aspect of its automated systems. Designed to create healthier conditions on the farm. A complete range of energy saving air conditioning systems, as well a heating and LED lighting range. Image credits: Thinkstock A RANGE OF WOOD-­ BURNING BOILERS The system is in line with mandatory “welfare” standards. It was installed in an existing building. With traditional systems, we would only have enough space for 1680 sows. With Selfi-feeder, we now have 2320 and can accommodate up to 2500. The system is very simple and very flexible. Animals are easier to handle. Our ­ ree-roaming sows have a shorter f gestation time and are more often in heat. And the animals have numbers and are sorted if there are any problems. This helps us get to know them better. It is a new kind of relationship with the animals. The freedom to move around the living area and the smoother feeding time makes it a calmer place.

MODULAR SYSTEM A FEED SOLUTION FOR FREE-ROAMING GESTATING SOWS WITH CONTROLLED ACCESS AND FEEDING. Animals circulate freely within their living space. The sows are identified by a chip in their ear. The Selfi-feeder comes with a large number of feed dispensers depending on the size of the herd, to reduce waiting times. Each feeder is fitted with an antenna that recognises each sow, a volumetric filler, and a level sensor that tracks the quantities consumed. Their feed is managed individually, in line with each animal’s habits. Asserva’s products are evolving with a unique modular concept. You can now choose how many boxes you want: 1-6, it's your choice! The Selfi-Feeder works perfectly with workshops large and small. COMFORTABLE FARMERS COMFORTABLE ANIMALS The machine is easy to use, tracks the tasks carried out and any incidents, as well as animal behaviour (underfeeding, entering heat, etc.) and provides markings as needed. This tracking means that the breeder can be more responsive. Animals feed at their own pace and their daily portion is dispensed gradually depending on their appetite. The large number of feed dispensers reduces waiting times and stress. In the living space, the animals mix with animals they like, for

LIVING QUARTERS Within the living space, the sows reside in a peaceful environment. There are various watering points, and sleeping areas are fitted with dividers for greater animal comfort. THE SELFI-FEEDER The Selfi-Feeder is fitted with a large number of feeders depending on the size of the herd, to reduce waiting times. The sow whose turn it is to enter the Selfi-Feeder goes in to one of the feeders that then seals it in behind an automatic rear door. The sow is recognised by its chip and fed as per its feeding curve. It receives a first dose, and the next dose will be dispensed...
