PIG FACTS
How to increase the survival rate of the piglets
Baby Care is an automatic milk feeding system that distributes fresh milk in a farrowing unit. The system ensures that all piglets have enough milk. When the piglets have constant access to milk, it results in a higher weight at weaning. When the piglets are 1 kilo heavier at weaning, they have a faster growth after weaning and this gives a higher survival rate.
Why is a milk feeding system necessary in a modern pig production? How can you increase both efficiency and productivity and at the same time reduce the number of nursing sows?
