SowMAX
SowMAX
SowMAX is a feeding system designed to increase sow intake and reduce feed wastage in breeding operations. It provides a 24/7 feed availability with minimal waste, allowing for precise measurement and adjustment of sow intake.
- Reduce Feed Wastage: The unique design of SowMAX protects feed at the distribution point, preventing it from getting wet and clogged. It can be filled with a drop tube from overhead systems or a hopper.
- Unique Design: Constructed entirely of stainless steel, SowMAX has no plastic or nylon parts, ensuring durability.
- Trouble-Free System: The system is designed for easy installation and maintenance, with pre-punched mounting spots for quick setup.
- Adjustable Lever: Allows for varying the amount of feed delivered with each trigger movement, enabling fine-tuning for individual sow behavior.
- Trigger Lever: Sows activate the trigger to drop small amounts of feed into the pan, ensuring efficient feeding.
Great Lake Pork, based in Allendale, Michigan, adopted SowMAX to improve sow feeding efficiency. The company sought to increase pig weights by extending weaning periods and enhancing sow feed consumption. After testing various systems, they chose SowMAX for its durability and reliability. The system's ad-lib feeding approach allows sows to eat as needed, improving their condition without weight loss. The successful implementation across 18 sow farms has been beneficial, with no regrets reported over three years of use.
