Nedap, a global leader in livestock management systems, announces the hiring of Stan Skaro as the technical services specialist for the United States.
Skaro joins a team of industry leaders at Nedap with expertise in swine feeding and housing management systems. As the U.S. customer services and training specialist, Skaro combines his industry knowledge and leadership skills to assist producers in implementing Nedap’s electronic sow feeding system. Key areas of focus include: equipment installation, employee education on system management and livestock transition and dealer support.
Skaro has more than four decades of livestock and engineering experience. After growing up on a Minnesota livestock and crop farm, Skaro implemented innovative livestock equipment and focused on technology installation through roles with Gillis Agricultural Systems, Big Dutchman and his own company, S&S Ag Technologies. This hands-on knowledge helps Skaro streamline processes and share expertise in technology management in both animal housing and feeding scenarios.
“We are excited to continue building our team of swine experts in the United States and provide industry-leading management systems to swine producers” says Gary Wyse, U.S. technical manager for Nedap. “Stan’s experiences in electrical systems, building planning and livestock equipment will benefit our current and future customers.”
Globally, 1.4 million sows are fed by the Nedap electronic sow feeding system. The system has been implemented on key operations in the United States, with sow managers finding multiple production benefits, including: greater consistency in body condition scores, better conception rates, minimized stress on the sows and a more balanced sow parity structure.
