Customer reviews

Dr. Anna Müller · Resident Veterinarian
A significant asset for our field veterinary visits. The aluminum alloy frame is sturdy yet lightweight. The adjustable chest and belly straps securely restrain sheep of various sizes, greatly reducing risks for both handlers and animals.
Thomas Wagner · Biosecurity Officer
This unit is a game-changer for our sanitation protocol. The consistent 95°C hot water dissolves fat and proteins far more effectively than chemical cleaners alone, allowing us to use fewer detergents. The durability in daily use across multiple barns has been impressive, with no corrosion or significant wear after 18 months.
Andrey Volonin · Technical Director
We use your screw press separator to service multiple clients. Its key advantage is the exceptional anti-clogging performance of the stainless-steel wedge wire screen when handling cattle manure with high sand content. The modular design also makes routine maintenance and wear-part replacement straightforward, significantly reducing our on-site service time.

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.
