What are the advantages of precision feeding systems for lactating sows

In the pig industry, feeding management of lactating sows is crucial. We have found through long-term observation that traditional feeding methods have many problems, such as waste, uneven feed distribution, and difficulty in controlling the feeding amount of sows. We have taken different measures in experiments to address these issues, and ultimately, by using our developed precision feeding equipment, we can solve these problems and bring many advantages. This article will introduce the five advantages of using our developed precision feeding equipment for lactating sows.


1、 Improve feed utilization efficiency
Precision feeding of lactating sows can effectively improve feed utilization by accurately measuring and controlling feed distribution. According to the needs of sows, the equipment can automatically adjust the feeding amount and frequency to ensure that sows consume an appropriate amount of feed, avoiding waste and overfeeding. This precise feeding method can save feed costs and improve economic benefits.

2、 Promoting sow health
The lactation period is a period when sows consume a lot of physical energy, so their dietary needs are very important. Precision feeding system for lactating sows can provide a balanced feed combination, including protein, vitamins, minerals, etc., while meeting the nutritional needs of sows, reducing the risk of diarrhea and disease, and promoting the health of sows.

3、 Increase inventory rate
Through precision feeding equipment for lactating sows, breeders can monitor the feed intake and weight changes of sows in real-time. Once abnormal feed intake or weight loss is detected in sows, measures can be taken in a timely manner to adjust and avoid a decrease in litter size or death. This can effectively improve the stocking rate of sows and increase production efficiency.

4、 Improve production efficiency
Precision feeding equipment for sows can intelligently manage the feed needs of sows at different stages. For example, providing high-energy and high protein feed during the early stages of lactation to meet the growth needs of dairy pigs; As lactation progresses, there is a gradual transition to a more balanced feed combination. This precise feeding management can increase the litter size and weaning weight of sows, thereby improving production efficiency.

5、 Reduce manual operations
The traditional feeding method requires a lot of manual operations, such as manual weighing and distribution of feed. And precision feeding equipment for lactating sows can automatically complete these operations, reducing the labor intensity of breeding personnel and saving human resources. Breeding personnel only need to monitor and adjust the operation status of the equipment, which improves work efficiency.

The use of precision feeding of lactating sows has five advantages: improving feed utilization, promoting sow health, increasing inventory rate, improving production efficiency, and reducing manual operations. These advantages can not only improve economic benefits, but also improve the pig breeding environment, and have a significant improvement effect on the workload of breeders. Therefore, promoting and applying precision feeding equipment is a very worthwhile investment for pig farming enterprises.
