The feeders are equipped with an access identification/recognition. As a sow has no feed credit the entrance door will not open. The Compufeeders also has a patented walk along protection system which prevents that a second sow enters the feeding station. These resources avoid stress in the group and improve the animal welfare. The antrance has antennas on both sides so it does not matter whether the transponder is adapted left or right.
The design of the system makes it possible to equip every Compufeeder with a selection unit. So there is a lot of flexibility in creating goups. By means of the settings that you enter in your management system, animals can be separated out of the group automatically. The time-consuming fetching of sows is a thing of the past
The trough is situated right in front of the sow. So the sow eats in a natural attitude and can leave the station without moving backwards.
Because the Compufeeder is equipped with fencing there is no tunnel effect. As a result, the sows do not hesitate to go into the station. Especially in learning process this is a great advantage. The sow can see what is happening around her. This will decrease the stress factor to a minimum. At the head of the sow, the fences are partly closed to create a quiet place to eat.
All components of the station which are mounted on the floor are made of stainless steel in order to guarantee a long life of the feeding station.
As an option, the system can be equipped with a paint marker unit. This makes it possible to easily highlight and select a sow.
The feeding station is equipped with a unique automatic feeder. This automatic feeder is suitable for all dry feeding types including flour. The conduct of 4 different types/minerals is possible. There is also a possibility to feed manually which is very convenient during the teaching process. This is easy
Feeding station for gestating sows in group housing
New EU regulation is stating that as from 1 January 2013 all sows from four days after natural or artificial insemination must be housed in groups up to one week before the expected farrowing time. The most ideal solution is a feeding station with possibilities for small static groups to large dynamic groups. We as developer and producer of the Compufeeder have already many years of experience with this form of innovative group housing systems for the modern pig breeding industry.
Efficient management is crucial for the continuity and growth of your business. Especially within the modern pig breeding industry. With the use of the Compufeeder system in combination with our renewed management software package “P.P.P.” (Prima Pork Professional) passes you far ahead on all developments within this market.
