Feeding systems for pigs of Fancom

Margins and prices in the pig farming sector are under pressure. Pig producers need solutions that increase the efficiency of their production processes, but without compromising the quality of the end product and animal welfare. As feed costs account for such a large part of the total production costs, this is an aspect that demands critical attention.

Spiralling feed prices

The ever-spiralling feed prices are reducing the margins made in pig production. The greatest gains can be made by saving on feed costs. To effectively manage feed costs, it is vital that farmers have a clear insight into the feed consumption on their farms so that improvements can be made. An efficient, automated feeding process that generates extensive stock registration and data feed intake date is essential. This also saves time and helps to accurately control how much feed is given, as well as ensuring that each animal is automatically fed its feed ration.

Feed according to need

The improved genetic potential of finishers is a trend that producers must take into account. Pigs are increasingly able to efficiently convert their feed into meat. It is therefore important to carefully examine the precise nutritional needs of the animals and feed them a ration that is accurately formulated to achieve optimal technical results. And as soon as possible, switch to cheaper feed with a lower mineral content. This will not only reduce feed costs, but also prevent the unnecessary excretion of minerals in the manure and urine.

Up-scaling

The scale of farms is continuing to increase, and sometimes one farm is located on multiple sites. This development makes long-term, reliable functioning of feeding systems even more crucial for producers. And they want the security of being alerted in time by the computer that monitors the feeding process if things threaten to go wrong. The quality of the system and ease of operation are also factors that are becoming increasingly important. Only then can users easily adapt the feeding process to suit their individual situation and benefit from ease, time saving and improved technical results.
