Feeding concept for gestating sows 1 2 1 2 Outlet pipe Water pipe (optional) Transition funnel OptiMum with rotary valve Storage tank for feed with stainless steel lid Antenna with cover Group husbandry combined with single animal feeding For keeping pregnant sows in the gestation house, solutions are required that allow feeding adapted to their individual needs. It is also vital to have housing conditions that do not restrict the animals‘ freedom of movement during the gestation period. From the animals‘ point of view, group housing systems should thus be used. Feeding on demand is seen as...

· Undisturbed feed intake, as the feeding area has closed side walls · No risk of injury while feeding thanks to protective side panels · Rocker acts as closing mechanism · Maximum of 20 sows per station/trough · Depending on the sow population, up to five sta- tions to be installed in a pen To prevent feed envy and thus ensure undisturbed intake of feed, the trough area of the feeding station has closed side walls. The side panels of the feeding station are designed with vertical struts. The strut spacing is arranged so that no sow can be injured by other animals in the group while...

Keeping sows in optimal condition Individual feeding, better condition During the gestation period, it is important that sows are able to build up sufficient body reserves that can be used to compensate for a possible lack of energy during the lactation period. Feeding according to requirements at every stage of pregnancy is crucial for achieving and maintaining optimal sow condition, which is the prerequisite for high, stable fertility and rearing performance. On the other hand, an excess or insufficient energy supply has a negative effect on fertility, birth process, appetite and...

Control system for improved monitoring Fully automated and safe feeding The feeding process in the gestation area is fully automated with the help of the Excellent 4PX software developed by WEDA. The software enables farmers to coordinate all relevant data such as feed components, feeding quantity, feed rations as well as insemination data of the sows. The clearly designed interface makes the feeding system simple and user-friendly to operate. The visual display enables monitoring of the status of existing feeding stations and the feed intake of sows in real time. The current status of each...
