Optimal pig production results Challenge: Maintaining sow body condition during gestation

In group gestation pens, you want to keep condition optimal so you know your feed, which is a major cost of production, is being used efficiently. Once the sow moves to farrowing, poor condition during gestation could result in:

• Less-than-optimal litter size and pig body weight
• Reduced sow productivity in subsequential parities

Depending on the technology you have available, measuring and recording daily feed intake can be challenging in group sow housing facilities. Without accurate data, how do you know each sow is getting what she needs to support her next litter and her own maintenance requirements to give you the best ROI?

Could automated farming technology make the difference between “good” and “great” results on your farm?
