Basic Info
A precision feeding management device designed for group-housing systems of pregnant sows.It provides customized,precise rations for each individual sow through identification,combining animal welfare with production efficiency,while efficiently collecting individual feeding and behavioral data.
Customer reviews
Dr. Ben Carter · Resident Veterinarian
Its dustproof and waterproof design is fully adapted to the barn environment. The early pregnancy diagnosis (at 28 days) accuracy exceeds 95%. Combined with the rectal probe, we can efficiently monitor the herd's ovarian synchronization protocols, doubling our reproductive management efficiency.
Camilla Rossi · Environmental Control Engineer
After installing 32 of your tunnel fans throughout our finishing barns, the pigs' respiratory rates dropped significantly during summer. I'm most impressed with the motors' IP55 rating—after two years in a high-humidity, high-ammonia environment, there has been no corrosion or insulation failure, and the energy consumption data perfectly matches the technical manual specifications.
Sarah Benson · Operations Manager
The temperature control stability of our new single-stage incubators exceeded expectations. Even at full capacity, temperature variance across the cabinet remained within ±0.15°C, which is critical for chick uniformity. The integrated remote alarm system once provided timely warning of a water pressure anomaly, preventing a potential loss.
Product Description
Product Features:
The core is enabling"precise individual feeding within a group environment."Sows wear unique RFID ear tags.Upon entering the station,the system automatically identifies the individual and dispenses a precise amount of feed according to a preset feeding curve(based on backfat,parity,gestation stage).Feeding is exclusive(entrance gate closes),preventing dominant sows from monopolizing food.The system records key data for each sow:daily visits,feed intake,feeding duration,and non-attendance days,allowing remote adjustment of feeding rations via software.Automatic alarms trigger for anomalies(e.g.,a sow not eating for an extended period).

Product Specifications:
The workstation typically has a feed hopper capacity of 15-30 kg.The dispensing mechanism is often a spiral auger or pneumatic butterfly valve,ensuring accuracy and minimal residue.The interior space is designed for sow comfort when turning and includes a safety escape door.The controller has data storage and offline operation capability;basic functions continue if network connection is lost.The software platform provides data analysis reports(e.g.,group intake curves,individual anomaly screening)and can integrate with mainstream farm management software.

Product Application:
Primarily used in modern sow farms for gestation housing,replacing traditional gestation crates and aligning with animal welfare trends.Suitable for the entire gestation period from breeding to about one week before farrowing.It not only meets sows'need for movement,reducing stereotypic behaviors,but also controls body condition through precise nutrition,improving litter uniformity and the number of healthy piglets.The long-term feeding behavior data collected can be used for genetic selection,identifying breeding lines with good appetite and ease of management.It is a core device for digital,fine-tuned sow management.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q:How many sows can one feeding station accurately manage?
A:It is recommended that one station serves 40-60 pregnant sows. This ensures each sow has sufficient feeding opportunities and avoids stress and fighting caused by excessive waiting times.
Q:How does it ensure each sow eats her specified ration without being displaced by dominant sows?
A:Precise RFID identification and a closing entrance gate ensure exclusive feeding. The system records feeding data and alerts managers if a sow hasn't eaten for an extended period, allowing for intervention.
Q:Will power outage or network interruption affect feeding?
A:Basic functions are unaffected. The controller has offline storage and operation capabilities. Data automatically syncs once power/network is restored, ensuring the feeding schedule continues uninterrupted.
Q:What is the practical value of the collected feeding data for production management?
A:The data is used to monitor sow health (reduced appetite is an early disease sign), optimize individual feeding curves, evaluate herd performance, and provide key inputs for genetic selection.
Q:Can feed hygroscopy or caking cause inaccurate dispensing or blockage?
A:High-quality equipment features anti-clogging designs in the dispensing mechanism (e.g., spiral auger) combined with pneumatic cleaning functions. However, using high-quality, uniformly sized feed with proper moisture content is fundamental.
Q:When switching from gestation crates to group housing with ESF, how is sow fighting addressed?
A:Scientific grouping principles must be followed (e.g., mixing at night, providing ample space and hiding areas). The exclusive feeding design of the station itself eliminates competition for food, which is key to reducing fights.
