Sow feed and water management
As one of the most essential elements of livestock production, water should be carefully managed to increase productivity and improve financial results. Feed management also plays a crucial role in producing a healthy and strong-performing sow. Individual feeding based on parity, condition and stage of gestation/lactation ensures that sows receive the optimal nutrition based on their unique needs.
Feed preservation
Feed safety can be controlled via an integrated approach, involving checks at each part of the feed supply chain.
Managing feed intake
Today’s sows are highly productive and more demanding when it comes to nutrient supply. To reach highest sow potential, it is essential to have feed designed according to the animal needs, applied with an adequate feeding programme. Farmers who focus on optimal management of feeding programmes will increase the longevity of their high-prolific sows in a predictable way.
Ensuring quality water
Poor drinking water quality may be the most important single factor affecting animal health and performance.
